Jungle Jitters is a 1938 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.^[2] The short was released on February 19, 1938.^[3]

Because of the racial stereotypes of black people throughout the short, it prompted United Artists to withhold it from syndication within the United States in 1968. As such, the short was placed into the Censored Eleven, a group of eleven Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes shorts withheld from official television distribution in the United States since 1968 due to heavy stereotyping of black people; because its copyright had already lapsed without renewal a year before this decision, it has remained publicly available through numerous unofficial distributors via secondhand prints.^{[citation needed]}
