I don't believe Owl Jolson was voiced by Tommy Bond. This piece of likely misinformation has been passed around the internet, including IMDb; but I don't think it has come from any published source. I think someone noticed that Owl Jolson's bad singing resembled Tommy Bond's performance of "Friends, Lovers No More" in the Little Rascals short, "Mush and Milk" (1933) and made a false assumption. Owl Jolson's bad singing may resemble (slightly) Tommy Bond's bad singing. But Owl's good singing and his speaking voice sound nothing at all like Tommy Bond. I don't think Bond did any of the singing or speaking for this character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinSpurlin (talk • contribs) 07:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Done, this does not appear to have been censorship; I can't find anything obviously offensive in the cartoon to a modern audience. The same cannot be said of the Censored Eleven and others, which have run into political correctness issues with a modern audience.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me)18:19, 23 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
