Cross-Country Detours
Cross-Country Detours is a 1940 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Tex Avery.
Summary
A narrator talks about the wonders of nature in the United States.
Censorship
On Cartoon Network and its sister channel, Boomerang in the United States, the entire part in which a frog shoots himself in the head after the narrator says "Here, we show you a close-up of a frog croaking," followed by a theater card reading that the management is not responsible for the lame puns in the cartoon was edited to remove the frog actually shooting himself in the head with a gun, leaving in the "frog croaking" line followed by an immediate and obvious cut to the theater card.
