How it feels

A cartoon cowpoke gets into silly trouble in a Wild West setting. The short uses outdated stereotypes for its comedy.

What happens

My Little Buckaroo is a 1938 American animated comedy short film directed by Isadore Freleng. It was released on January 29, 1938. It is the 89th film in the Merrie Melodies series. It was re-released as a "Blue Ribbon" reissue in 1943 as My Little Buckeroo, rendering the original film and credits to be lost. It seldom airs on television due to its stereotyping of Mexican people. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
