Buddy's Theatre is a 1935 Looney Tunes short directed by Ben Hardaway.
Plot[]
Buddy is working as a projectionist in a movie theater. The newsreel features a caricature of Benito Mussolini and a gag on the Swiss Navy. Coming attractions include James Bagknee (Cagney) in Here Comes the Gravy and the double feature 8 Girls in a Boat with The Thin Man. Tonight's feature stars Cookie in The Chinchilla from Warmer Bros. Buddy sighs from the projection booth as she plays piano and sings. When a gorilla climbs in her window and attacks her, Buddy jumps into the picture, literally.
Caricatures[]
Censorship[]
- Nickelodeon cut the entire scene of the black natives running, a scene that was reused from "Buddy of the Apes" (even though "Buddy of the Apes" was one of a handful of Warner Bros. cartoons that Nickelodeon could legally air at the time since it was in their broadcast library, but, due to Standards and Practices objecting to the scenes of outdated racial caricatures, the cartoon was banned from airing).
