The Grocery Boy (1932)
A very good Mickey short on the outside, but in the inside, not so much
8 November 2023
The Grocery Boy is a bag filled film from the 1930's, but during that time, their was one thing that has caught the audience's eye: Black Stereotypes. When Mickey is riding Pluto like a horse, Mickey has a navy soldier statue head on his head, but when they run into a chimney, Mickey appears to be wearing black face. Black face was used during the 1920's film, "The Jazz Singer" and many other things. It was just normal at the time for people to think that black face was entertaining. I ask not saying that this is a bad film, but that it was not alright to include the scene, even if it was only 5 seconds long.
