Goldilocks and the Jivin’ Bears premiered

September 2, 1944

The Merrie Melodies short, Goldilocks and the Jivin’ Bears, directed by Friz Freleng, was released on this date.

Because the short contains stereotyped portrayals of African-Americans, it is no longer available in any type of authorized release and is among the group of controversial cartoons known to animation buffs as the Censored Eleven.
