Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Detouring America is a 1939 Looney Tunes cartoon short (8 minutes). It was directed by Tex Avery.It's a parody of the short travelogue films that were commonly shown in American movie theaters of the era. An avuncular, upbeat narrator typical of travelogue films of the day leads the audience on a tour of the USA, from New York to the West Coast, stopping at places including the Florida Everglades, West Point, Yellowstone National Park, a Sioux reservation, and the California redwoods.All of this, of course, is simply an excuse for Tex Avery sight gags. | |

Binocular Shot: How a prairie dog finds the one tree on the prairie that he and his fellows can pee on. Interestingly, shown correctly as one circle rather than the far more common two-circle shot. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| Detouring America / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: Two scenes are cut on Cartoon Network and Boomerang airings of the short due to ethnic stereotyping: A poor, black hitchhiker at the North Pole, singing "Carry Me Back to Ol' Virginny", and an Eskimo obliges by literally carrying the poor, black man all the way to the Virginia state line. A scene from the Native American segment was cut, an Indian mother dealing with the dopey, oversized, adult son she's carrying on her papoose. | |
