Banned Cartoons-Donald Duck-Nazi-The Spirit of 43'

[TheManiacalSatanist6]

Let me get this straight; I should feel proud to pay an unconstitutional tax so we can fight a war that didn't have to be involved with in the first place? Adolf Hitler's economic policy would've brought down Nazi Germany on it's own. If we hadn't stopped trade with Japan, Japan would've never bombed Pearl Harbor, and thus, no war for us. By the time Germany finished it's idiotic social crusade on the Jews and what not, Germany would have been too weak to worry about.

[thermo1984]

@TheManiacalSatanist6 Your taxes will not go to this because it was 60 years ago.

[TheManiacalSatanist6]

@thermo1984 I was remarking on the war propaganda, genius.

[thermo1984]

@TheManiacalSatanist6 Could have fooled me

[G4M3RS4L1F3X]

I am now tempted to falcon punch a nazi

Make my conscious Scottish

and pay taxes

Amazing what Disney could do then

What they do now is just sad

[CitizenoftheEUdSSR]

Can`t understand single words he is saying at the end. Can someone help me?

This is our fight. The fight for freedom. Freedom of speech.

Of ???? Freedom from ?want? and fear.

Taxes will keep democracy on the march!

Greetings from Austria, Europe

[Rikudemyxdert]

Must. Pay. Taxes.

[Michael117american]

I just had a sudden urge to pay my taxes

[Michael117american]

Why do all you liberals put "banned" infront of all these WW2 cartoons? these were not banned at all, they were very popular back then, and all that the people saw before they saw the news real. I HATE LIBERALS, YOU GIVE AMERICA A BAD NAME.

[jdmess14hc]

@Michael117american this has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. theyre banned because some of them have racist sentiment that in today's world is considered inappropriate, especially the japanese ones.

[StarfireAlpha]

The ending is God save the King?

[Michael117american]

@StarfireAlpha In America it is " Let freedom ring"

[WhiteNorthFOX]

Hello - I like this video - This is very-very funny

[Kroenen117]

guns rule but taxes dont. ITs not democracy its a Democratic republic we have!

and spending money doesnt mean your friends with hitler lol

[thekillers1stfan]

@brwnandfriendly that's why he was the best president in American history

[superpenguin4500]

"pay your income tax gladly and proudly" now those words you would never hear in a modern debate, some people seem to think its unpatriotic to pay taxes, sheesh.

[ZeranZeran]

What the fuck kind of little kid wants to hear about guns & taxes?

[Inuyashachick12]

@ZeranZeran Not just little kids saw this. These shorts were usually played in theaters before the main feature.

[MsMaxTT]

I can see why this was banned...

[PINGASFIST]

Why is American Patriot duck scottish

I don't even

[Penwin93]

germany was very long very strong MR. USA )(

[Rasss1]

they shoud show the one's by the axis...

if there weren't much, then thats y they lost, lol :D

[demmo1]

we need more propaganda like this now a days 

[kolzinn]

[ItsACaptainDan]

@kolzinn Um, what?

[amichalap]

[graywolf95]

@amichalap Wow! Your right!

[Syshtematik]

so thats where Call of Duty Nazi Zombies came from @4:18

[CauboiFromEl]

Taxes to bring death.....

[Dopesmoker42020]

Why is this banned?

[Pureroller]

Taxes will bury the axis

[3rdEigenState]

must have taxes at least 20 times.

[PvtToast]

Taxes to kill innocent civillians (like Bulgarians, French, Czech, Germans (who were against the War), Japanese (also) and a whole lotta other people)

[MrReymoclif714]

Why in Gods name would that cartoon be banned? I will admit the threatining tone of voice seemed at odds with the message that we need to pay our taxes to defeat the evil Axis powers of the times. But what confuses me is the grim tone of voice when talking about the required taxes? WAZZUP? Am I missing out on something here?

[carllarsen]

no mention of war profiteers?

[carllarsen]

what? no mention of the war profiteers? that's where most of our taxes go, to the likes of haliburton and black water

[YoSammyBoy]

Guns

machine guns

anti-tank guns

long range guns

guns, guns, ALL KINDS OF GUNS!!

I don't know why but I LOVE guns now.

[MrReymoclif714]

@YoSammyBoy Far out man,I was getting a chubby at that point too!

[hagamablabla]

@YoSammyBoy i prefer swords. XD

[drumadude28]

Remember kids, PAY YOUR TAXES! you dont want to be a fashist nazi bastard do you?

[laughs2hard456]

[komlentor87]

Scrooge is a Mason... :-D

[kosmonaut5]

but we need to spend some money..or how else are ppl gonna pay their employees...silly donald

[Broadsword85]

capatalism and war at its best ::sarcasme::

[rjbonacolta]

Whatever happened to Pimpy McDuck?

[Broadsword85]

@rjbonacolta i hear that he schould make a comeback! :-P

[Dockktor]

This is actually the first appearance of Scrooge, interestingly enough.

[Steinbach1984]

When Charlie Chaplin mocked Nazi Germany in a genuine and honest instance of free expression, the film got banned because it could harm American business interest in Germany. Once Japan dragged the USA into the war, it started to rain state sponsored anti-Nazi propaganda movies. Now that's what I call hypocrisy: free speech in the interest of the government.

[sayanroy36]

@Steinbach1984

yep, free speech is free only when it benefits the government. hypocrisy at its best

[Xemnas677]

this wasn't banned. 

[KRandMJ]

This cartoon gave hope to the American people, it showed people (who actually CARED for this country) that there was a way to help their families or friends who were overseas to fight against HITLER and HIROHITO instead of sitting around with their thumbs up their noses. So to all you Liberals and Hippies that hate this country and everything that it stands for, COMMUNIST CHINA'S BORDERS ARE OPEN!!!

[balgra13g]

@KRandMJ completely agree people today make fun of our politicians than our enemies which is just plain stupid. people are too afraid tosay the word muslim anymore even though they are trying to kill us

[Andragorans]

Guns, war, killing, money - brainwashing people's minds from an early age. So much for children's innocense.

[balgra13g]

@Andragorans not just children watched cartoons many adults did as well it supported the war and supplies that the soldiers needed to defeat the real evil. think before you talk you damn hippie

[Andragorans]

@balgra13g Im not a "hippie". I just don't think it's right to involve the children in the war games of the governments. They should be aware of what is going on of course but after all - they are children.

[EMH204]

first cartoon with a childrenns character that risk having someone die

[TheCr4zed]

it's just horrible to take a beloved cartoon character for propaganda purposes. just shameful.

[bigpinkandscary0]

Questionl0gic: The image is that of the war at sea, not the atom bomb.

[THeBesTTHereIz951]

If you don't pay your taxes... You're a Nazi. If you spend money... you're a Nazi. If you like Women... you're a Nazi....

[Questionl0gic]

oddly enough this video is titled "the spirit of '43" but if you look at 3:25 it depicts the japanese being blown up by something massive. which if i remember my history correctly, didn't happen until 1945. strange.

[Lufz33]

whats the name of the other personality? cant hear clearly

[pawner150]

dang.. lots of taxes

[grafather]

It's propoganda for teachers. Disney thouth that it's a good idea to make children to hate the Nazis, Japanese and Italians. It's not aimed to pay for taxes. But this cartoon tries to explain that everything is Goverment do is for the best.. (Rightttt)

[Sreggaematic09]

it is okay to hate Nazis, and in the context of WWII, the Italians and Japanese were the enemies too

[grafather]

I agree with you at that point. During war propoganda is a good motivation to fight.

[ktwesterna]

Walt Disney was asked by Henry Morgenthau, the Secretary of the Treasury to make it. It actually was meant to encourage people to pay taxes. Many people felt that by purchasing bonds, they did their part to help with the war. But to pay for the bonds, taxes needed to be paid. Disney made this cartoon at great financial loss for the company, but he felt that it was something that needed to be done.

[sticksquash]

@ktwesterna Hrm, I figured this type of cartoon was plotted by the government. I really doubt Walt Disney would have supported a 90% income tax, and this deep of propaganda.

[ktwesterna]

@sticksquash Well, what I said earlier was fact. It was a different time and Walt Disney was proud of his country. Doubt it all you want, that doesn't make you right.

[sticksquash]

@ktwesterna I don't know, I'm just outlining my skepticism. You did tell me that he was asked to do this.

[jannikmt]

@ktwesterna see how evil and libral hey wher

you should always lower taxes

[mino117american]

this wanst a banned cartoon.

[zooders]

yeah because scots arent frugal....

[Doomspeed44]

I suddenly feel like paying my taxes...

[DBuilder]

hey! its Scrooge McDuck!

[ChibiLiet]

@DBuilder One of his more sensible moments, ne?

[WarThug13]

@DBuilder you mean MacDuck

[PeggyGiggles13]

@DBuilder Hey it's Hitler McDuck! xD

[DrStrangebomb1993]

2:48 OMG just like Sweden's tax system - every last dime.

[rabcarl]

"alternative way to give money to capitalists" Yeah because tax rats are so much lower in Socialist countries... Fucking tool.

[animeghibli]

wtc this is so weird.. isn't donald duck aimed at children? propaganda is so weird...

[steers83bravo]

at the time, adults too

[FriendOfBeard]

The bastards forgot mussolini , he helped with the tax thing :(

[blade92193]

But we barely fought him

[Timbo992]

DOnald looks funny when he's dressed as hitler! lol

[survivor303]

like then, we can ask for now for U.S. what is their freedom? U.S isnt free, you cannot do almost nothing in that country.

[Comrak]

theres a lot more freedom than other country's and in every country of the world you have to paid tax so hurray for the U.S.

[Nagflar]

And don't forget the bloody Patriotic Act.

[BluewolfR]

anyone knows a way to save this video? this is really good proff of history , mainly Propaganda and i bet this'll be cool to show in alot of world history classes

[dgcrew]

Taxes? No, I call this "alternative way to give money to capitalists", that's what taxes are. Fucking capitalists of shit...

[wackcrack]

fuck taxes

[MsDrJeanGrey]

I totally watched this during my childhood.... my mom bought this video off the back of a box of cereal...

[homestar4ever]

why was this banned? its not full metal jacket! i showed this to a few of my friends and they all said this should be shown today!

[Bobzeaux]

We can't show this today, not in THIS economic climate we're in. Spending money is demonized here, when we should be encouraging people to spend whatever they can to get the economy working again.

But yeah, Full Metal Jacket is a LOT worse than this, and it's generally recieved as one of the finest films ever made. :P *lol*

[jackanarchy99]

Ever since the new 'law' passed off, people can't show smokes, alcohol and propaganda on tv.

[homestar4ever]

man people should seriously introduce kids to reality

[HerGuardianAngel1991]

Lol, if this was released right now, this would be

OH MY GOD. INDOCTRINATING OUR CHILDREN WITH CORRUPT GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA.

[thingforvids]

in the 1940, cartoons were aimed at adults....

[HerGuardianAngel1991]

That wasn't my point, but whatever. >>

[Yemetha]

Heh, in a way i guess this could be called democracy. Lots of americans wants to kill lots of nazis, the one with the more people win heh. Hurray for democracy if i may say. (And they dared to call this a fight for freedom).

[DieChavScum]

Why would they ban this? They have plenty of propaganda(much more sinister propaganda) in todays childrens shows. At least this is on the right side, with a valuable lesson(saving cash duh).

[wardog99s]

true.

[Conejita236]

Well at least we knew what our taxes were used for Back then. Lol..

[1966jpm]

thats the america i miss

[xZxshadowghostxZ]

ain't that the truth

[wardog99s]

i do to

[Irishcrossing]

I always wondered why these anti nazi properganda(sp?) are all banned? Curse you cencership!

[HannibalFL86]

Because it contains some racial stereotypes, its bullshit.. I grew up on these toons and I don't hate a soul.

[KD3t0x]

These aren't for entertainment purposes. more like educational back in the day,

[mjd001]

Read "The road to Serfdom" - you'll see how this war time crisis thinking would get translated to all types of other "crisis" once the war was over.

[KSB26]

Ah yes, forced taxation and conscription. The true corner stones of any free country.

How dare Donald dare think that he has the right to spend his own hard earned money as he sees fit. Doesn't he know that his earnings, property, family, and very life are but tools of the state to be used as its leadership sees fit?

After all, look at what DC's great leadership gave us in 1945. A "victory" that resulted in the cold war and a half century long threat of nuclear annilation.

[FelixAtrox]

Then again, it won a war, broke the back of Depression blues, and brought on an extended period of prosperity...

If the value of the product is greater than the input, one's wages are higher than one's taxes, and the product solves a need...

[HannibalFL86]

Show me a single democracy that didn't employ forced conscription and taxation, ever.

ONE.

[sully0001]

Well, just think about it like this, would you rather be a Happy Nazi, speaking German, or how about Dead because you're not Japanese. No civil liberties, unless you join the Nazi party, Book burnings because ideas and freedom of speech are thrown out of the window. These cartoons came in handy and served a purpose. They kept our American communities focused on what was important, now we look for too much, want it all given to us, hell we expect it.

[fuckmyassgirl]

they burned books because their people used to read a lot,they didnt use cartoon propaganda to wash people brains that only happens at usa

[calypso]

lol, lets talk about brainwashing people

[SlaveJens]

Nice way to brainwash the American people, Donald..?

[ItalianMan45]

are you for the fucken Axis?!?!?!?!?!?!

[fuckmyassgirl]

Top ww2 aces:# 1 to # 108 ALL germans,heres the american & german top aces comparison

Richard i bong-USA-40 planes downed

Erich hartmann-Germany-352 planes downed

Hans rudel-Germany flew a stuka plane and had a total of 2 000 targets destroyed

I dont have flags for things like war,but this is just a patriotic propaganda cartoon out of any sense with an offensive message to all germany,not only for hitler,saying heres a gun,go out and kill some foreigners kids,thats pathetic

[pacoloco6666]

I found this on VUSE and could not beleive disney was ever involved in war propaganda so I just thought I would share and get others opinions. In my opinion I also think its pathetic and I am not anti-war or pro-war, go figure!

[fuckmyassgirl]

Thats right,i have to agree with you,figure this out,a 8 years old kid watching cartoons and then a guy just comes out and kill some foreigner and says,dont worry boys he was the bad guy,im not nazi,i would dare to kill a jew or something but it has no sense to blame all germans because of hitler

[ItalianMan45]

youre pathetic

[fuckmyassgirl]

ooooooh,we have a rebel one here,where did you let your motorbike rocker?

i didnt know rockers would watch cartoons

i pity of your parents you most be still living on moms house

[ItalianMan45]

uhhhh Im in college. fucken troll

[JCo62484]

Good God can u imagine if cartoons today spelled out these kinds of messages?? LOL, SpongeBob saying "Let's bomb Iraq!!" Insane...

[mrp09]

Guns Guns and More Guns

[mrp09]

o god i found this on vhs while cleaning out my grandma's place...even when i was a kid i thought this was strange

[jijamaphone]

Nice piece of cartoon propaganda lol

[BigDBrat]

MOM WOULD BE(is) PROUD ! DON' FORGET TO VOTE.....

[woodytwoshoes]

This is the reason they won the war....Disney was more invasive then any ss propaganda....lol

[alvagingra2]

WOW CRAZY!!

[Stefnir94]

hahaha laughed my ass off..

[DanivalS94]

Jesus..

[Stefnir94]

Hvað? Er bannað að finnast eitthvað fyndið?

[DanivalS94]

Nei, er bara með áhyggjur um hvað þú ert þá að sitja á, ef þú ert ekki lengur með rass...

[Stefnir94]

Góður punktur.

[DanivalS94]

Nah, bara komma..
