Hittin' The Trail For Hallelujah Land 1931 - Number One of the 'Censored 11'
Three riverboat workers perform the title song, accompanied by a banjo, a jew's harp, and bones. Meanwhile, Uncle Tom brings Fluffy the pig to the pier on a donkey cart so she may board the riverboat. Piggy, her lover, is the captain. Piggy's exploits include riding an alligator's tail, rescuing Fluffy from a villain with a moustache, and saving Uncle Tom from drowning. Uncle Tom had his own experience when he ended up at a graveyard by accident. The skeletons had sprung from their graves, offering to transport him to Hallelujah Land.

TRIVIA -
- One of the "Censored 11" banned from TV syndication by United Artists (then the owners of the Looney Tunes film library) in 1968 for their blatant racism. Ted Turner continued the ban when he was hired and stated that these films will not be re-issued and will not be put on home video. These cartoons will probably never air on television again, and only non-Warner Bros.-licensed public domain tapes/DVDs will probably ever have these cartoons on them.
