Edgar Allan Pooh . . . We Americans of (The Then) Far Future of Our Time of Tribulations under the Putin\Rump Administration. Warner's always prophetic Animated Shorts Seers unit (aka, The Looney Tuners) picture Red Commie KGB Chief Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin as a not-so-ferocious mangy lion sporting dentures throughout INKI AND THE MINAH BIRD. The short would-be hunter Inki serves as Warner's stand-in for Putin's White House Sock Puppet Don Juan Rump, of course. The strange Bromance between Vlad and Don Juan is best illustrated from about 4:20 to 4:40 of this cartoon, when the pair are first shown hugging, followed up by Inki climbing into the lion's mouth. Inki emerges from this cozy position wearing the lion's dentures, which is Warner's shorthand way of conveying the idea that Rump is merely Putin's mouthpiece. Stalking this pair of Evil Doers throughout the story is the Minah Bird, none other than our fearless Special Counsel Bob Mueller. Warner includes several scenes in which this trio disappears into Cyclonic Blur of Whirlwinds, denoting God's Punishment (through Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Jose) for the hypocritical White Holy Rollers (who, according to a 9/7/17 USA TODAY analysis, are in the third stage of mourning--i.e., bargaining--on the Kubler Ross Scale, meaning that they've all signed on the dotted line with Satan by voting for and stubbornly continuing to support the despicable Putin\Rump Administration, as that Team of Demons does its best to destroy what's left of the American Empire), and the necessity when Mueller emerges with the Whole Truth (as the Minah Bird winds up this cartoon wearing the lion's dentures) of appeasing God by publicly giving ALL the Highly Treasonous Quisling Traitors their well-earned Joan of Arc-Style Roasting!

Michael_Elliott Inki and the Minah Bird (1943) ** (out of 4) Another Warner cartoon that won't be seeing a legit DVD release anytime soon due to the racial nature of the title character Inki. Inki, a black girl, and her pet bird go out into the jungle where they run into a lion who wants to eat them. I think this one here falls into the category of being convicted for no reason in a politically correct world. There's really nothing too offensive here but I'm sure that's not going to keep warning from giving this an official release. It's not even really worth an official release because the film itself isn't that good. There aren't too many laughs and I thought the animation was rather weak considering it was from the master Jones.

Mightyzebra Genre: Cartoon short with no dialogue, African girl and lion.Main characters: Inki, the lion and the minah bird. What happens: A lion wants to eat an African girl called Inki. There is also a rather confusing Minah bird. Is he on Inki's, or the lion's side..?Message: Erm…My thoughts: I agree with Lee Eisenberg, this is rather mean on poor African people!! :-( I like how the main character, Inki (who is an African girl) is quite a nice main character, but they still portray her rudely and make a younger audience not like her very much just because she's HUNTING!! GRRR CHARLES M. JONES!! I don't like the lion very much and I think the minah bird is ALL RIGHT (I suppose). Personally I prefer Charles M. Jones's Looney Tunes cartoons in the future.If you want to watch this anyway, then I recommend the website YouTube. Just type in "Inki" on the space in the main page and you're there. I wish Charles M. Jones had been nicer to Inki in this short. So there. Recommended to: People who are interested in old cartoons and/or people who are just messing around on You Tube.

Lee Eisenberg The offensively portrayed Inki continues his hunt throughout the jungle, antagonizing a lion. It's no surprise that cartoons like "Inki and the Minah Bird" are harder to find than Warner Bros.'s most famous cartoons, given how they drew Inki. It's very much a product of the old style Euro-American view of Africa.I get the feeling that these cartoons won't come to DVD anytime soon. If Warner Bros. brings these to DVD, they should put them in a section identifying that these were creations of a pre-conscious era. There were a number of their cartoons like this; others included "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs". Good to see as a historical reference.
