Inki and the Minah Bird
Inki and the Minah Bird is a 1943 Merrie Melodies short directed by Chuck Jones. The short features Inki and was released on November 13, 1943.
Inki is an African young boy hunting small animals with a spear. On creature he briefly tries following is a minah bird, which walks across the scene with a hopping gait. Unlike Inki and all the other creatures in the cartoon, the minah bird shows no emotional reactions or changes in facial expression regardless of circumstances. Inki then encounters a fearsome lion. The lion then chases the boy, who briefly winds up in the lion's mouth, but escapes with the lion's teeth, revealed to be a set of dentures. The lion recovers its teeth and chases after Inki until distracted by the minah bird, which the lion then pursues. In a twisting blurred fight, the bird triumphs over the lion, and in the last scene the lion's large dentures are shown now in the minah bird's mouth.
Inki and the Minah Bird was the only Inki short to fall into the public domain; all the rest in the series are under copyright.
Because this cartoon portrays stereotypes of Indian and black cultures, it is no longer included in USA television packages, along with the other four Inki shorts. It includes scenes or situations that portray potentially offensive, negative or otherwise socially unacceptable content which may be perceived as fostering stereotypes of African heritage people.
