Jasper in a Jam
This cartoon has good swing/jazz music and ethnic characters are only minimally stereotyped--there's even an African-American cop! And Jasper's accent is more regional than "mushmouf' ", while his reactions are pure cartoon-kid of any ethnicity. George Pal and company did their work well!
