Here is a rare Disney short starring Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald and Goofy. Information on the Internet Archive indicates it was "banned" at some time, although the reason seems unclear. I did not see anything that, at least in my opinion, would offend any modern sensibilities. So why was it banned? My best guess: It was released sometime between 1937 and 1941, before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7. After that date, Pearl Harbor may have given some of the otherwise innocent images a new, and possibly offensive, context for audiences at the time. Viewing it outside the lens of that attack, it is a charming short. Here is Hawaiian Holiday.
