Internet giant, Amazon, has put a warning on some of the 'Tom and Jerry' cartoons it offers to its customers. Visitors who want to buy or download the series 'Tom and Jerry: The Complete Second Volume' get a warning that the cartoons contain scenes that are racist. The warning says: "Tom and Jerry shorts may show some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American society." It added that the scenes were wrong when the cartoons were made 70 years ago, and are still wrong today. People say the character of the black maid in the cartoon series is racist. Some of the cartoons were edited in the 1960s because of worries about racism.
互聯網巨頭,亞馬遜,將一些提供給客戶的“湯姆和杰瑞”漫畫,貼上了警告標簽。網絡客戶想要購買或下載湯姆和杰瑞系列: 完整的第二卷時,會發(fā)出一個警告,稱漫畫包含種族歧視的場景。警告說,湯姆和杰瑞的短片可能顯示一些民族和種族偏見,這曾經在美國社會司空見慣。它補充說,當卡通場景在70年前創(chuàng)作出來的時候,就是錯的,現在還是錯的。人們說黑人女仆的形象,在這一卡通系列中就是種族主義者。在20世紀60年代,因為擔心種族歧視,有些漫畫已經被重新編輯。
Tom and Jerry were created in 1940 by cartoonists William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The show is about the lives of Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse, who live in the same house and are big rivals. Hanna and Barbera produced 114 Tom and Jerry cartoons from 1940 to 1957. The cartoons won the Oscar for the best Animated Short Film seven times. The shows have become one of the most popular cartoons in animation history. They are put on children's TV every day in many countries. Animation expert Steve Abrahart said the quality of animation in the early Tom and Jerry cartoons was "superb". Many people posted on Twitter to say it was "madness" for Amazon to put a warning on the cartoons.
漫畫家威廉漢娜與約瑟夫巴貝拉在1940年創(chuàng)作出湯姆和杰瑞。這個漫畫是關于湯姆貓和杰瑞老鼠的生活,他們住在同一個房子,是絕對的競爭對手。漢娜和巴貝拉從1940年到1957年創(chuàng)作了114部湯姆和杰瑞動畫片。動畫片贏得了奧斯卡最佳動畫短片七次。這一動畫片已成為動畫歷史上最受歡迎的卡通片之一。這些動畫片每天都在許多國家的兒童電視節(jié)目上演。動畫專家史蒂夫說早期湯姆和杰瑞卡通的動畫質量的是“極好的”。許多人在微博上稱,亞馬遜給予這些漫畫警告的行為,太愚蠢了。
