To be fair, a quick search in Google doesn't give any evidence for a ban as such, just a perceived general opinion that cartoons from before the 60s are no longer considered acceptable for children and quite a few have been edited anyway to reduce racism. There is a digital channel called Boomerang here which does show them, but it's hardly prolific. And they've recently had to edit more cartoons to reduce smoking references. Smoking now lies somewhere between rape and GBH as crimes in the UK! In fact I don't think many people can tell the difference anymore... I think it's simply a case that if the BBC scheduled normal cartoons in their regular children's TV slots, they would invite a lot of complaints. By a lot I mean about 7, which normally seems enough for someone like OFCOM to consider slapping the broadcasters wrist, regardless of how many millions did watch without feeling in anyway corrupted.Bear in mind that censorship has improved, but only by tightening up the lower certificates. In other words, 18 anything goes, but less and they come down like a ton of bricks. Or not if your name is Tom...
