Looney TV: The Isle of Pingo Pongo (1938-44)

 For nearly 60 years, Tex Avery's "The Isle of Pingo Pongo" has been barred from airing on television due to the use of outdated stereotypes. The prototype for Elmer Fudd, originally billed as Egghead, pops up here, waiting for his turn until narrator Robert Bruce gives him the go sign......


No voice actors were credited, per Wikipedia, but Bruce did narrate a few more shorts where he was belatedly given credit, and we have to assume he did this one, too. As you can see, this was a Blue Ribbon reissue, released in 1944.

Rating: B.
