I am writing a period film set in the 1920s. In one scene, I plan to show some gentlemen watching a clip from an early stag film - the legendary animated cartoon "Buried Treasure", starring Eveready Harton. As you might have guessed, this cartoon character has a rather prominent distinguishing feature.

CAUTION: IMAGE MAY OFFEND SOME VIEWERS.
I am aware that same "pose" with a live actor (to the extent that is possible) immediately relegates a film to NC-17 status. Would the same hold true for a cartoon? Does it depend on the length of screen time (pardon the unintentional pun)? Or would it all come down to whether the film ratings board (here in U.S.) finds the use of such an image to be of an artistic interest as opposed to a prurient one?
Apologies if this question (or the supporting material) is too far out of line for this board.
