This cartoon has been long removed from TV broadcast rotation due to racial controversies over the cannibals' appearances. It has, however, appeared on TV (and video) with cannibal qualities removed: One edited version (which was also shown on MGM/UA-released video compilations) mutes out all the cannibals' dialogue, whereas another version (which was also shown on Warner Home Video-released DVDs) leaves in all the dialogue, but crops the scene at the end so that one does not see the actual shot of the pygmy pursuing Jerry.
