Notes and bans
Inki and the Minah Bird was the only Inki short to fall into the public domain; all the rest in the series are under copyright.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Because this cartoon portrays stereotypes of Indian and black cultures, it is no longer included in USA television packages, along with the other four Inki shorts.[12] It includes scenes or situations that portray potentially offensive, negative or otherwise socially unacceptable content which may be perceived as fostering stereotypes of African heritage people.
