What happens
Sunday Go to Meetin' Time is a 1936 American animated comedy short film directed by Isadore Freleng. The short was released on August 8, 1936. It is the 62nd film in the Merrie Melodies series. It was re-released as a "Blue Ribbon" reissue in 1944. The name of the short comes from the colloquial adjective "sunday-go-to-meeting", describing something appropriate for church or otherwise presentable. Because of the racial stereotypes of black people throughout the short, it is withheld from circulation, one of the "Censored Eleven" shorts. It was rejected by the British Board of Film Censors in 1936 and remains unreleased in the United Kingdom. It was banned in Australia and Germany. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
