Goin’ to Heaven on a Mule premiered

May 19, 1934

The Merrie Melodies short, Goin’ to Heaven on a Mule , directed by Friz Freleng, debuted on this date. This cartoon no longer appears on American television because of racial stereotyping of African-Americans

Nickelodeon had the cartoon in its library back when it had the rights to air Looney Tunes cartoons as part of their Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon block, but it was never shown, due to Standards and Practices objecting to it.
