too bad political correctness prevents children from getting straightforward info like this these days. wouldn't it be nice if we had one of these vids addressing the spectre of "terrorism"?

"go ahead put reason out of the way. thats great, fine....... FOR HITLER."
that part made me laugh, i'm going to start saying that all the time. someone going to be like "I'm thinking about getting a pepperoni pizza today." and i'll just be like "thats great, fine...... FOR HITLER."
Its interesting how is the west we always consider the the opposites of reason and emotion to be in battle or war ? when all that's really needed is a marriage,an equity between them.Unfortunately all we have now is extremes of either.
Reason is the slave of passion, according to David Hume---the most mild mannered and sensible of 18th century philosophers. Passion is the uncritical use of reason. The film is an example of the evil it depicts.
I'm sorry, I had to stop watching this after about a minute because of bold-faced lies. EVERYONE is able to think? And EVERYONE has emotions? I think the internet has proved BOTH theories WRONG.
I think the portrayal of the common german officer as a "pig" with his facial features/pinkness is un-neccesary by today's standards. But back then, when this was made, I suppose the American fear of communism was very real.
I like how Hitler was portrayed as a monster with pointy teeth...I've seen some other portrayals in similar cartoon works for kids...they must have been really surprised to see him in actual photographs haha
the message of the video is really great, but I didn't like the way they made the american soldier look like Tom Cruise 8:08 and the german soldier look like a dope 6:13
Realy it is interesting because, Hitler sort of new he had a nack for moving the "mob" and this shows in ways of propaganda how he could have used emotion against reason but still you havr to thinkthat there where Germans who didn't belive or have a single shred of respect for him or his reason/emotion. And in my opinion i think this is a very interesting piece of propaganda history and i thank you for putting it up.
This explains what the media has done to our economy for the past two years...the people have actually given in to the hype. Less than 5% of mortgages are in trouble and they want you to believe this caused the banks to fail...I do not think so. You have to remember, for mass hysteria to take hold, you have to keep telling the same lies for a long enough time and people will actually start to believe them. When the media stops the "panic" and "crisis" lingo, the economy will fix itself...
absolutely! The worse thing to happen to our economy in the last year was when former President Bush went on national TV and said "We are in a financial crisis" Confidence went right down to toilet.
OMG i actually saw this film when i was younger, but it had been edited, severely edited. The one i saw when i was a kit had the whole nazi scene completely gone and the narrator was Ludwig von Drake (the german sounding duck). So weird :)
Hey, did anyone notice the secret message of the cavemen in the german guys head? He acts and then turns into Mussolini(who btw, was Hitlers puppet in ww2)! Ah Disney, your cartoons were of such colourful nature. XD
0:35-50 was recycled from another WD cartoon called "The Pelican and the Snipe", which I own on my Walt Disney Treasures: Disney Rarities DVD release.
I wonder if The Bush administration would like to play this to the public and then perhaps have a referendum on the patriot act???? coming from a small minded brit who only understands cartoons!!! Peace.
they pritty much used the whole thing them selfs... there was the pride to their country, at one point there was fear (the news and stuff, i think...), you could see that, you could feel sympathy to reason..... hate against nazi's..... XDD but man, did i laugh... and when we went to the female head? "think of your figure! we are a lady!" ouh dear LORD!!! XD
the female head doesn't make any sense. smacking guys in the face while they don't harm you and being obsessed with weight is not rational it is clearly irrational.
yes, very ironic. Disney has used the same techniques as the Nazis. I guess they didn't learn anything from their own video! (like u said, its the last few minutes when Disney slips into the same 'emotional manipulation' techniques)
Disney definitely mixed up "emotion" and "instinct." I think you need a good balance of the three (emotion, instinct, and reason) in order to be a functioning human being. Otherwise, you get a cold dictator, or an oversensitive wuss, or a brutish caveman.
An excellent film - I'd add that ones spirit (not mind) should be at the wheel with bespectacled reason calculating the best route and emotion singing a tune.
Discriminate in this context means, to distinguish between things. To make a judgement as to truth. "Discrimination" as in racial discrimination is the idea of prejudice. Pre-judging something based on race without looking at the merits of the person. Hope this helps.
The depiction is a little hypocritical. After all, it was an emotional appeal that led Americans to get involved in WW2. I think it was the right thing to do (in that case), but it was still an emotional decision.
It's unbelivable how watching these little pieces from Walt Disney can be so education..full of moral! And a shame that they dont put anything like this on tv anymore..(as well done as his first creations)..
The characters were really well done..you dont see that on tv anymore =(
And a cartoon is completely rational... Hitler observed the propaganda tactics of the Americans and British during WWI and employed them. No one is innocent when it comes to propaganda.
Didn't Hitler realise that emotion only makes you think more of the faults you have done and the person who plays reason looks like an American in a Germans head?
I hated Hitler because of lots of things but I liked him for standing up against the Democratry but in the wrong way.
"Why don't the surrender monkeys in Hollywood make movies like this today?"
Surrender what? To whom? Who are we fighting? Sadam Hussein's regime is gone. The situation in Iraq is a civil conflict. This is what 'reason' is telling me. 'Emotion' is telling you that people who think like that are 'surrender-monkeys.'
I have to agree with nalikill, adding in hitler makes it an appeal to emotion. I also find it funny that they're denouncing nazi pride in one part but telling you to be proud of you're country in the end.
Yeah. Blind patriotism is more in "emotion"'s ballpark. I'm a big fan of well-reasoned patriotism, but "that's fine...FOR HITLER" is just so utterly cheesy.
I do like how Emotion looks like a caricature of animator Ward Kimball though.
Yeah, blind patriotism makes me uncomfortable, but I'm a big fan of well-reasoned patriotism. "That's fine...FOR HITLER" is just so utterly cheesy it makes me cringe. But hey, this is just a Disney cartoon.
Well, this WAS propaganda. C'mon, it has GOT to follow an internal logic which puts it into the "this is stupid" realm. As EA Blair said, propaganda is wrong even when it's right. Keep in mind this is 1942- not exactly the most sophisticated time. Yes, we hipsters see through it now with a groan, but hipsters see through it based on 50 years worth of accumulated acculturation to propaganda: this was pretty subtle for its day.
"Surrender monkey." Yea you tell 'em, you paragon of logic. It was the rational arguments of George Bush that led us to Iraq and his rational anticipations of the cakewalk it turned out to be. Thank goodness we're run on Oil and dichotomy.
Are you kidding me? You watched all that, and you take away with that? The fact that Bush uses emotion, fear and pride, to get you into a war, doesn't ring familiarity with Hitler?
Mr. Looney, it all comes down to worldview and bias. Your bias obviously is that the USA is in a fascist dictatorship where free speech is gone and we are just minutes away from a police state/martial law. That view seems extreme to me when many (emotional) protests are going on every other week and hardly anyone is clubbed into submission by an over-zealous soldier/policeman. Granted, some hyper-emotional types get tasered because of their over the top outbursts but those are the exception.
So, I see why your Emotions tell you Bush is equal with Hitler, but you should really let Reason get in the driver seat for awhile so you can realize things are still far better here than any other place in the world. Try holding your protests in Saudi Arabia/Iran/North Korea/France/Etc. and see what happens.
I remember seeing this cartoon on a tape with some changes: Ludwig von Drake was narrating, the Nazi scenes were cut out, and the last 29 seconds were also scrapped, making the cartoon less WW2-ish and more family-friendly. It's good to see Reason & Emotion in its entirity.
I always wanted to ask people who were around then. I assume they saw it on TV, but didn't they have it on the trail end of films or something? I don't remember seeing any old footage of this on television, but I did see a lot from people sitting in films watching a kind of news/propaganda vehicle, like where we'd have dancing popcorn. If any of you old timers see this, I'd love to hear about it.
nothing has changed except kids today don't get to see these forces so clearly portrayed and just get confused or depressed when they don't have emotional guidance.
How Ironic that, today, virtually all DISNEY media and American media in general tend to support EMOTION over Reason! You could power a city block with all the spinning old Walt must be doing in his grave...
A rational woman wants to be beautiful for the same reason a rational man wants to be powerful--to be maximally attractive to a potential mate. The reason men prefer beautiful mates and women prefer powerful ones is best explained by evolutionary psychology. Isn't "feminism" (aka the cult of penis envy) dead anyways?
Define "beauty" though, everyone has a different standard for it. Women don't have to diet all the time in order to be attractive to themselves or others.
I think the part where the guy is getting steadily more afraid from rumors about bad things that are going to happen is especially poignant for today. Something to keep in mind.
Classic Disney and a fitting description of today's media as well...

How Ironic that, today, virtually all DISNEY media and American media in general tend to support EMOTION over Reason! You could power a city block with all the spinning old Walt must be doing in his grave...

A rational woman wants to be beautiful for the same reason a rational man wants to be powerful--to be maximally attractive to a potential mate. The reason men prefer beautiful mates and women prefer powerful ones is best explained by evolutionary psychology. Isn't "feminism" (aka the cult of penis envy) dead anyways?

Define "beauty" though, everyone has a different standard for it. Women don't have to diet all the time in order to be attractive to themselves or others.

I think the part where the guy is getting steadily more afraid from rumors about bad things that are going to happen is especially poignant for today. Something to keep in mind.

hmm, I recall a phrase POTUS said over and over to instill fear, "Weapons of Mass Destruction!" "Weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION!"
There is a word that describes this, it's called "fear-mongering' look it up in a dictionary.
It's what Hitler used, and you-know-who did too.
Funny how there turned out to be no WMD though, isn't it?
