Injun Trouble is a 1969 animated cartoon short in the "Merrie Melodies" series, directed by Robert McKimson and featuring Cool Cat. It is noted for being the final cartoon produced by the original Warner Bros. cartoon studio, breaking a run which had lasted since 1930 (with the exception of the four years when the cartoons were produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises).

The cartoon shares its name with an earlier short directed by Bob Clampett.

ynopsis

Cool Cat is driving to the town of Hotfoot one day, when his route happens to take him through a Native American reservation. Two scouts spot him and one of them gives chase, only to fall into a chasm when the weight of him and his horse causes the makeshift bridge to collapse (even though it had carried Cool Cat and his car without trouble). Cool Cat rescues them and continues his journey. Along the way, he encounters a man who tries to give his heavily obese daughter away, a more attractive woman that invites him for an "Indian Wrestle" (which turns out to be a fight with a man who is far larger than Cool Cat), a literal bareback rider and a Native American who uses a typewriter-like device to create smoke signals which read "COOL CAT GO HOME!"

Finally arriving in Hotfoot, Cool Cat spots two horses playing human shoes. After that, Cool Cat spots a "Topless Saloon" and heads in, but finds out that the only topless person in there is the bartender, a rather burly man. An outlaw named Gower Gulch then arrives and seemingly challenges Cool Cat to a duel, but then settles for a game of poker. Cool Cat gets a good hand with four Aces, only for Gulch to get a Royal Flush. Announcing that he is "cutting out," Cool Cat produces a pair of scissors and cuts a hole out of the background, which he then disappears into. He then reappears for a moment and ends the cartoon (and series) with the words "So cool it now, ya hear!"

Censorship

Owing to controversy over its stereotyping of Native Americans (and some racy jokes such as the "topless saloon"), the cartoon has never been shown by United States television broadcasters, or released on video. While bootleg versions are available (most commonly with a timecode on the print), the cartoon still proves very difficult to track down. In fact, it is one of the rarest of all Warner Bros. cartoons [ [http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/miscelooneyous/rarecartoons/ Misce-Looney-Ous: The Rarest Warner Bros. Cartoons of All Time] , accessed January 7 2008] , owing to the relative unpopularity of cartoons from this era of the studio (unlike the "Censored Eleven," which were produced during the studio's heyday).

panish Version

There is a Spanish language version available on certain forums, featuring a very clean picture with dubbed Spanish voices. It is possible therefore to create a clean English version (without the timecode) by adding the English soundtrack to the Spanish version picture, with a few minor adjustments.
