“The Three Little Pigs” depicts the Big Bad Wolf disguised as a Jewish beggar, complete with a long nose, beard and caftan, as he tries to gain entry to one of the pigs’ homes. The Austria Press Agency says it was seen last week on one of the network’s children’s programs.
Program director Wolfgang Lorenz expressed his “great” regrets Tuesday that the cartoon was broadcast. He spoke of a slip-up that evaded the “strictest quality criteria,” and said he would make sure that “such a mistake … will not occur again.”
Criticism was first voiced by the weekly “Falter” magazine.
i know that anti semitism was rampant in the USA in the 30’s but how come Walt Disney was never take to task for producing such a piece of garbage. As a matter of fact why do we all flock to his Theme Parks and spend millions to support his Anti Semitic agenda? I have never been been to one neither my children.
ussually the goyim are the wolves ”for the nation of israel is like a sheep amongst 70 wolves”
but i guess in this story better be the wolves than the chzeirim
Most cartoons from the 1930’s and 1940’s were totally racist. Disney made some anti-nazi propaganda cartoons during WW2 which included “teutonic” stereotypes, while Warner Brothers produced very racist anti-Japanese cartoons. Some of these, like “Der Fuhrer’s Face,” are classic.
Austria … anti-semitism … accidental?
Guess where Adolph Hitler was born … Austria.
