Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land

Common card · No. 414403

Hittin' the Trail for Hallelujah Land is a 1931 American animated comedy short film. It is the fifth film in the Merrie Melodies series, and stars Piggy. This was Piggy's last theatrical appearance. It was released on November 14, 1931. It was directed by Rudolf Ising. The minimal storyline centers on the plucky Piggy's efforts to rescue his girlfriend and a doglike Uncle Tom from perilous predicaments and villains. The short's use of the racial epithet "Uncle Tom" and use of blackface stereotypes prompted United Artists to withhold it from syndication in 1968, making it one of the Censored Eleven.
