May 13, 1939 –

The Looney Tunes short, Kristopher Kolumbus Jr., directed by Bob Clampett, starring Porky Pig, debuted on this date. This short has seldom aired on TV due to prominent Native American stereotypes.
This is one of only two Warner Bros. shorts released between Porky and Teabiscuit and Hare-um Scare-um to not feature Warner Bros in a banner during the opening rings.
