Timeless is a subjective evaluation with several different meanings. I consider this one timeless because it has stood the test of time, if only by living so vividly in my own memory and those of many others. The cartoon was 6 years old when I was born and now that I'm 63, it's one of the few that stands out in my memory from childhood.
While it's true that the Native Americans in it were portrayed as goofs, so were the Pilgrims; therefore it's hardly racially prejudiced. It's a cartoon and should be revered for its sheer ability to entertain and make even adults laugh.
A delight from long ago, I'd be happy to show it to my great-grandkids; if only so they could see a cartoon that is truly full of humor.
