YMMV / Censored Eleven

• Animation Age Ghetto: More than a few people have questioned the legitimacy of the list when there are plenty of live-action films for the era of their creation that feature racist caricatures just as bad, many of which are considered classics (such as Gone with the Wind or The Jazz Singer).
• Broken Base: Film and animation historians and civil rights activists have starkly different opinions on the censorship of these films. Historians criticize the ban for attempting to pretend that racism never happened by covering up historically significant films. Civil rights activists defend it as a necessary evil, preventing these stereotypes from re-entering the mainstream consciousness.
• Fair for Its Day: While it still features black caricatures and racist stereotypes like the rest of the cartoons, Uncle Tom's Bungalow having the rich white girl Little Eva being friends with the poor black girl Topsy would've been quite progressive for the time, and the fact that Eva buys Uncle Tom off of Simon Simon purely so that Tom wouldn't be beaten shows that while she probably doesn't realize that slavery is wrong (she's a child, after all), she's clearly against slaves being abused. Also, the fact that the slave owner Simon Simon is portrayed as an evil, cruel bully shows that Warner Bros. wanted to paint slavery in a deservedly bad light.
• Fanon Discontinuity: Many fans like to pretend these shorts (with the exceptions of Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs and Tin Pan Alley Cats to some) don't exist, due to the racial stereotypes presented in these cartoons. Warner Bros. does as well, hence why they've been out of circulation for over 50 years.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: To the point that more has been written about its outdated racial subject matter rather than its artistic merit.
• Values Dissonance: At the time, the subjects of these films were acceptable. Nowadays, not so much.
• Vindicated by History: Despite its black caricatures and outdated World War II references, Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs is considered a legitimate classic of animation by numerous animation historians. The same applies to Tin Pan Alley Cats.
