Umm just to correct a common misconception in these comments: This is a Canadian propaganda cartoon, indicated most obviously by the fact that it was presented by the National film board of Canada, but also due to the use of the maple leaf in the title card, and that the building they are marching in front of is the Canadian Parliament building in Ottawa.
I don't think a lot of younger generations in America understand the impact WWII had on the people contemporary of that time. Sure, we have Vietnam and the wars in Middle East to draw our experiences from, but WWII was a lot bigger than that. The only way the government could legit get money for the war effort was through raising taxes (so they created the Revenue Act) and asking for war bonds. THAT'S IT. And it went to all the men who risked their lives protecting their families at home.
That video made me sick. I know that the Nazis had to be stopped at all kosts, but was have children to do with it?
I hope that there is not such a propaganda for kids these days. It was kind of "ok" for a war against "evil nazis" but it would be not acceptable for today`s "we-just-want-your-oil-wars"
This wasn't actually intended for American audiences, at the beginning theres the Union Jack and a maple leaf, they are parading in front of Canadian Parliament in Ottawa and Daffy and his nephews are donning Mountie uniforms, This was intended for a Canadian audience.
The word propaganda in its basic meaning is any attempt to use information to sway opinion. Iti can be good or bad. The nazis gave it a sinister meaning wnen theu had a ministry of propaganda and word morphed into something that uses distortions information to make a point.
its very obvious that political correctionist phoney liberals are not fans of classic cartoons or films since they are anti history and believe in buering it
@mikemcgee "phoney liberals are not fans of classic cartoons ". Obviously you have no idea what the term liberal is if you think leftists are all about destroying American history. As if the right wingers advocate anything good with their pro-war stance. Both parties are shitty, and frankly, I think just about anyone could do better than the democrats and republicans at this point.
This IS propaganda especially since the Teaparty right considered Obama's simple little talk on the importance of education "propaganda" so...if THAT was propaganda then MOSTcertainly is.
@lonewolfM16 Ummm...the US used to do that too! Are you not seeing how the Japanese are portrayed here? They still do that now...ex. how they portray Muslums in the media today. But everyone does it to some extent I guess not just Communists.
I dont think disney movies were a right choice for propoganda, off course times were crazy but i think art should be there to free minds not to conquer them..
@Dookiebassplayer A national effort , or in this case an international effort mobilized and utilized every tool at its disposal so that there was a future and freedom for those free minds. If conquered then that art and those minds you speak of go with it.
@lonewulf44 Maybe you are right,but were do people draw a line when it comes to propoganda? I mean propoganda is most of the time not related to realism
@Dookiebassplayer Well the best propaganda always has elements of truth to it. Drawing a line, comes from deciding what motives, intentions, sources, harm, targets and content it's viewed under. Obviously in WW2, the films and morale boosting propaganda made by the Allies is something that for the most part is something almost always in a positive context. Or as close as I believe civilization can get.
@lonewulf44 well not propoganda like communist propaganda where they lie/stretch the truth alot control peoples lives cut negative feed and portray their enemys as demons of hell
Either this isn't really by Disney, or Disney was just rather lazy to reanimate new stuff because you can really REALLY tell that they just recycled animation from the movies or shorts that the characters were in. Like Geppetto, since when do people walk like that while holding a flag? When their animation is recycled. How about the band? Totally from the short "The Band Concert" (Which is an epic short). Sure they did it for a good reason, I'm just being skeptical is all.
@SupaEthany Most of Walt's staff was drafted and the US Government asked them to make promotional cartoons for the war. that is why this cartoon looked like crap, some of his later WW2 cartoons got better. and yes those were recycled screens, go take a look at how old Disney movies were made and you could see it took a while so Walt took a short cut for this cartoon.
@pawo007 There were only eisenhower dollars, not eisenhower half dollars. In an case however, eisenhower dollars didnt begin being minted until 1971, still way after this cartoon was made.
Wish we could put out propaganda videos now! Then people would realize "THEY"want to kill us! I live in New York City if you watched any of the press conferences last week about the bomb in Times Square,Bloomberg,Obama ,no one Even wanted to say that man was Muslim,or Arab...............Sickening!
Hell, it doesn't matter from which country he was or what his religion was!
He was a criminal, a terrorist and that's all that matters.
Tell me; are we fighting arabian people? Are we fighting Muslimes? NO, WE ARE FIGHTING TERRORISM!
THEY have no color. This threat is not limited to a certain race or religion. It can possibly come from everywhere and threatens humans all over the world, no matter what they look like or what they belive in.
@RokuroCarisu You are WRONG! Think about WHO wants to kill us.........It is always the Muslims. Yes it could come from anywhere and look like everyone else,but they don't,they are Arab!!!!!!
@ryanlovesmike Listen to yourself, man! You're saying that being a Muslim/Arabian equals hating Americans and wanting to kill them. If it really was for that, we'd have a religious world war going on allready. That's paranoia.
@SniperViper1000 Why are you talking about national debt?Okay we owe alot of people money, I knew that already. Your from Canada ,I guess that is the only thing you could come up with.
My comment is to look at it in it's time; America was at war, as was most of the world; it was a shooting war, and we had to fight. This was wartime propaganda, and it worked. You can't judge it by today's moral standards. With all our flaws, it's probably the last time nearly all Americans were totally united in a common cause; when's the last time that's happened? 911,maybe?
I see nothing wrong with Disney's war propaganda cartoons. First of all there's nothing in them that isn't true. You make it seem like they are spreading lies. Second of all, people were very angry and afraid of the axis and these cartoons helped boost morale. It may seem odd and incomprehensible to a person of today's world.
Whoever wins the war gets to rewrite their own version of history & their own version of war. Hence, brainwashing their own countrymen to justify all their government's acts during the war & calling it patriotism is what's done by every country on earth.
The old axis of evil is EVIL, because we've seen the course of history & comprehend that thing turns out right for the allies. Now does that mean the current axis of evil's necessarily evil just because the gov't said so?

So World War II is a fictional story fabricated by those who won the war? I'm trying to justify those shorts of then and not saying whether or not such a thing would even be done or apprpriate today. Nothing from the shorts in question is fabricated. If there is I'd love to hear how.
People were angry & afraid of the current axis of evil as well, thus cnn, fox, cnbc, etc helped boost morale - again just because the government said so. Isn't that a very familiar pattern?

...Look at the cartoons in their proper context and it's not as bad. Since Germany and Japan were the ones who brought the world to war and came dangerously close to winning, few would have been out on the streets protesting the war.
Besides like I said before, the cartoons were for all audiences.
If you think I refer to it as fictional, then re-read my 2nd paragraph. My 1st paragraph refers to your current war to make a point in my 2nd comment. Do read them both as a whole.
But I'm curious, what's your stand on Iraq war & the new axis of "evil" anyway?
Btw, you're saying that Disney isn't needed to get the message across, yet saying that it's appropriate for them to publish this cartoon in those days, but in doubt whether it's appropriate to be published nowadays? Please clarify it
@youngyuudai As to the Iraq war and its axis of evil well that was a fabrication however in WW2 we were dealing with such things as the battle of Stalingrad and the Bataan death march instigated by a very real enemy overseas and our propaganda reflected that in cartoons, comics, magazines, and most feature films reflected that. Sorry, that probably doesn't answer your question.
@wilsontt88 Okay, I want you to look back at your comment on like page 4/5 on the comments. What is wrong in there. Hmmm... perhaps the fact that Disney is for kids... that, sir, is where you are COMPLETELY wrong. Disney is a Family company, why else would adults love the movies/shorts so much? If you want something for kids, check out Dora the Explorer or somethin'. I'm not being a hater, just defending a common misunderstanding.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@wilsontt88 at that time our world was in a high threat, three malicious dictators threathened our world peace. its great for pop culture icons to show their support and fight evil... there should be more disney cartoons/WB cartoons whose themes involve fighting terrorism and saying no to political correctness!!!
it may look like disney supports war, but really, they were just increasing allied morale and demoralising the enemy. pop culture plays a big key in a world crisis like this 1

To those who gave me a thumbs down on me saying war was justified for the allies taking down the axis, I'd love to hear why the world wasn't justified in taking out Hitler and defeating the Japanese during WII when they were the aggressors who brought the world to war. This ought to be good.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
don't be rediculous. at the time, there really was a threat: Hitler, and we needed to support the allied war so that democracy could triumph over nazism and facism. these films were made so that our country could work together to defeat the axis, buy war bonds, etc. Disney and other cartoon companies at the time did a great job. But definitely, if they did this sort of thing for the Iraq war, then that would be outrageous.

Don't mistake increase of cynicism for a lack of love for country. Most americans still love their country and their freedoms. Only a percent of a percent actually hate the country. Although there is alot of criticism afloat about the US the fact remains at the end of the day that Americans have great pride in being who they are.
Even though I rated the video 4 stars, I completely disagree with the message the video gave to all the kids who watched it. Is good to have this video on Youtube, to remember how things were. But the best would have been that the video didn't exist at all.

There was no TV during WW2 (except in the 3rd Reich).Propaganda was crude by our standards because of the limited amount of visual imagery and unsophisticated audiences. and this cartoon was in COLOUR!! A night at the movies was a rear-numbing FIVE hours. A Newsreel, a cartoon, an ad break, a general interest short, a serial short, a "B" feature and a main feature.This stuff worked.
Propaganda with taste of irony, i wonder if anyone noticed this over 60 years ago?
But if you ask me, this isn't that good propaganda really. I can't take something seriously such as goofy with huge sign with ''BUY WAR BONDS!'', not as powerful propaganda as soviet or axis power had in WW 2 in my opinion.
Of course it is! My own country, Peru, is advertising so we can "think big". Even foreign music is propaganda, as well as foreign goods, saying "this country is great"
beekill82: Your cluelessness probably is because publik educayshun doesn't teach anything except political correctness and how bad America is. Slavery, Holocaust, JFK, Vietnam, "McCarthyism," the 60's, you probably know all about. WWI, WWII, the American Founding, Industrial Revolution, Magna Carta, Washington-Jefferson-Madison, De Tocqueville, Renaissance, Western Civilization...I doubt you got much on them, except how all of it was evil.

Detenshion 4 yu. Consult the AFT-AFL-CIO and NEA for remedial cluelessness. Oh, forget it, just be a union robot and vote Obama-rama-lama. He'll cure all ills.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but Disney had to make these films because his studios needed the work. Yet these shorts made almost NO money for him. He only made money on the training films for the private companies like the airplane manufacturers.
you're correct, but in my humble opinion Disney spent very little money on this specific cartoon. See how poorly all these different characters are mixed together? They literally traced them from their respective cartoons, they made no effort whatsoever in drawing new things, exept of course the adding of signs, the re-drawing of Horace,a matching suit for Goofy (he was taken from a different short), and the final sequence. Heck, even the dwarves are still singing "Heigh-Ho"
This can be found in almost every countries history. Propaganda can be scary but clearly this is one of the nicer reels. Some, obviously not intelligent, people think this has kids learn about the violence of war. It's really not. If you are smart enough to understand a cartoon, you'll be able to figure out that its telling children to save their money to help the war effort and soldiers fighting in WWII. It takes unity and effort to overcome people like Hitler.
Also Donald, and his nephews are dressed as mounties.

If you think I refer to it as fictional, then re-read my 2nd paragraph. My 1st paragraph refers to your current war to make a point in my 2nd comment. Do read them both as a whole.
But I'm curious, what's your stand on Iraq war & the new axis of "evil" anyway?
Btw, you're saying that Disney isn't needed to get the message across, yet saying that it's appropriate for them to publish this cartoon in those days, but in doubt whether it's appropriate to be published nowadays? Please clarify it
youngyuudai 2 years ago 14
@youngyuudai As to the Iraq war and its axis of evil well that was a fabrication however in WW2 we were dealing with such things as the battle of Stalingrad and the Bataan death march instigated by a very real enemy overseas and our propaganda reflected that in cartoons, comics, magazines, and most feature films reflected that. Sorry, that probably doesn't answer your question.

@wilsontt88 Okay, I want you to look back at your comment on like page 4/5 on the comments. What is wrong in there. Hmmm... perhaps the fact that Disney is for kids... that, sir, is where you are COMPLETELY wrong. Disney is a Family company, why else would adults love the movies/shorts so much? If you want something for kids, check out Dora the Explorer or somethin'. I'm not being a hater, just defending a common misunderstanding.

My goodness, Disney supports war? I thought that Disney would emphasize on moral values, not weaponries.
I've just lost my respect for Disney.

@wilsontt88 at that time our world was in a high threat, three malicious dictators threathened our world peace. its great for pop culture icons to show their support and fight evil... there should be more disney cartoons/WB cartoons whose themes involve fighting terrorism and saying no to political correctness!!!
it may look like disney supports war, but really, they were just increasing allied morale and demoralising the enemy. pop culture plays a big key in a world crisis like this 1

To those who gave me a thumbs down on me saying war was justified for the allies taking down the axis, I'd love to hear why the world wasn't justified in taking out Hitler and defeating the Japanese during WII when they were the aggressors who brought the world to war. This ought to be good.

don't be rediculous. at the time, there really was a threat: Hitler, and we needed to support the allied war so that democracy could triumph over nazism and facism. these films were made so that our country could work together to defeat the axis, buy war bonds, etc. Disney and other cartoon companies at the time did a great job. But definitely, if they did this sort of thing for the Iraq war, then that would be outrageous.

Don't mistake increase of cynicism for a lack of love for country. Most americans still love their country and their freedoms. Only a percent of a percent actually hate the country. Although there is alot of criticism afloat about the US the fact remains at the end of the day that Americans have great pride in being who they are.

To several posters.
There was no TV during WW2 (except in the 3rd Reich).Propaganda was crude by our standards because of the limited amount of visual imagery and unsophisticated audiences. and this cartoon was in COLOUR!! A night at the movies was a rear-numbing FIVE hours. A Newsreel, a cartoon, an ad break, a general interest short, a serial short, a "B" feature and a main feature.This stuff worked.

But if you ask me, this isn't that good propaganda really. I can't take something seriously such as goofy with huge sign with ''BUY WAR BONDS!'', not as powerful propaganda as soviet or axis power had in WW 2 in my opinion.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but Disney had to make these films because his studios needed the work. Yet these shorts made almost NO money for him. He only made money on the training films for the private companies like the airplane manufacturers.
RochesterCycling 3 years ago
you're correct, but in my humble opinion Disney spent very little money on this specific cartoon. See how poorly all these different characters are mixed together? They literally traced them from their respective cartoons, they made no effort whatsoever in drawing new things, exept of course the adding of signs, the re-drawing of Horace,a matching suit for Goofy (he was taken from a different short), and the final sequence. Heck, even the dwarves are still singing "Heigh-Ho"

This can be found in almost every countries history. Propaganda can be scary but clearly this is one of the nicer reels. Some, obviously not intelligent, people think this has kids learn about the violence of war. It's really not. If you are smart enough to understand a cartoon, you'll be able to figure out that its telling children to save their money to help the war effort and soldiers fighting in WWII. It takes unity and effort to overcome people like Hitler.
