Synopsis

Although the main plot is a bunch of cute forest animals getting their revenge by fighting a war on some hunters, the hunters here are atrociously racist, not just typically stereotypical. They are all in a car while a little black native boy is running along behind the car with a rope around his neck and tied to the car. The stereotypical English big-game hunter type holds the boy's head while he himself speaks, like he owns the boy. Then there's the stereotypical Jewish man who dances a Jewish dance and plays his gun like a klezmer clarinet which then says "Oy vey!" (or something like that) at the end of the song.
