Uncle Tom's Cabaña is a 1947 American animated short film directed by Tex Avery.

In 1954, the African-American weekly Pittsburgh Courier published an editorial titled "Uncle Tom's Cabana Outrages Negro Audiences: What Price Brotherhood If Movies Play Up Handkerchief Heads?"

This medium reaches all levels of mentalities and feeds the flames of prejudice by projecting such canards as Uncle Tom's Cabana...

Showing this insult during Brotherhood Week was a kick in the teeth to a fine effort to wipe out prejudice in America.

"[3] Uncle Tom's Cabaña, along with Half-Pint Pygmy, were banned from television airings in the United States due to ethnic stereotyping of African-Americans.
