Disney '43 - The Winged Scourge

[TheSpikeystuff]

you have some great stuff here

[blacktigerpaw1]

Wouldn't be a problem if DDT was legal again.

[Lucailey]

Okay we killed the "wigglers" but how do we get the oil from the water and um, what will we drink without the water?

[redmaypril]

speechless

[SuperDbzfan4life]

Did he just say spray oil in water? The bbc would love these video!

[Chibihalo2]

Gee when they said Disney did what he had to in order to make back the money sucked up by the production of Fantasia during the war they weren't kidding. A lot of the stuff he made for the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs was never meant to be seen by North American eyes. This was all for the Latin countries, like Panama, where Malaria was a huge problem.

[WyczesanyBober]

Too many mosquitos, not enough oil. WE MUST INVADE MIDDLEAST! ]:D

[pytko3]

@WyczesanyBober So we can spray the oil on their breeding grounds. Good thinking.

[IllioEast]

... NOT THE MOSQUITO'S FAULT!!! IT'S THE PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM THAT IS THE TRUE CAUSE OF MALARIA!!!!

[mdsatan]

BP was just busy ending malaria!

[Bonsaifriend]

I am terrified of Dopey. Not only does he keep a meat cleaver concealed in his sleeve, (what else could be in there?) but he also sprays just about everything else around him with pesticides before finally getting a single mosquito. He also keeps a frog under his hat, in the event that he runs out of things to murder.

[maximusdarkultima]

what would've happened if the meat cleaver's edge was facing the other way.

this cartoons make good use for health education by the way.

[rejectzombie]

during WW11 disney and other animation companies had a contract with the government to make propaganda films in order to not get drafted. films like this came about, they did not want to make these films but its either that or die on the front lines.

[xxkelsiify]

lol oil

[leejoon07]

i saw it in my class today..natural science.. :))

[pickering86]

pour oil on the water and bury your cans in the yard.

Disney, providing sound environmental advice since 1943!

[WhatsMyNameNowluv]

oil... well thats one way of killing everything

[xRaineDropsx]

-___- darn mosquitoes.

[22BeeHoney]

bitch mosquitos 

[ChromeMaquilover22]

why can't we have good animated propaganda to teach our kids useful things instead of stupid Disney channel making them want to be like Hanna Montana and feel bad if they're not beautiful or have some sort of talent?

Not saying this is a good way of spreading a message though. lol spreading oil on the water now would alert the EPA XD

[Nintendodude1994]

I like how abandoning a house= tornadic destruction.

[epicwebfails]

thumbs up if you saw this in a geograhy class

[thornbush1241]

wow...

[Hypastpist]

figures its a female...

[CalStrackplays]

@Hypastpist only girl mosquitos suck blood, hence it's female.

[Hypastpist]

@CalStrackplays yeah i know, it makes it kinda funny tho

[Humor907]

Is it just me or youtube is getting slower..

[31operafan]

Thank goodness malaria doesn't exist here nowadays, thanks to research, better health habits and the development of vaccines. But there are countries where malaria is an epidemic.

[VidBint]

@31operafan There is no effective malaria vaccine yet. It's difficult to vaccinate against a eukaryotic cell & the parasite mutates readily to bypass the changing immune system. The eradication of malaria in the States was largely due to tons of DDT & other insecticides and the draining of southern wetlands for development. But yes, we still have a long way to go to help the rest of the world, both in understanding the mosquito an the parasite.

[onehundreddollars]

"the rain barrel".... man, times change more than people realize.

[thatstranger95]

Lol we saw this in our class yesterday.

[epicwebfails]

@thatstranger95 i saw it in my class today

[MWolfL]

Looney Tunes also did cartoons on this subject, except only the soldiers got to see it back then. They were three Snafu cartoons, each one about protecting oneself from mosquitoes while out on the battlefield. In each one Snafu didn't learn his lesson, not even the third one.

[loneshewolf74]

This is scary I think I'm gonna cry... oh wait, The 7 Dwarfs! They'll protect me, lol! ^__^

[sbranco12]

"Atta boy, Dopey, kill her good and dead..."

Snow White would've been a much different movie with that line...

[ComradeMorshu]

Boy, Dopey sure is vicious!

[mickeyelric11]

Correction: Public Enemy Number 1... until AIDS came

[logorrhea]

@mickeyelric11 still, Public Enemy Number 1. AIDS doesn't hold a candle to Malaria. Count in other mosquito borne diseases like Dengue and Leishmaniasis.

[avalanchesuperstar]

857 they can suffocate and die

[avalanchesuperstar]

mosquitos are all lesbians

[adsweaty]

dont f***k with the dwarves

[eustatic]

thank god for Rachel Carson and Silent Spring. people now understand that it's bad news to pour oil in your drinking water.

[shamgar001]

@eustatic "Thanks" to Rachael Carson for making us too afraid to use DDT, leading to the deaths of millions in Africa.

[sopmah]

Where the hell did the 7 dwarfes come from!?

[elisabethurston]

weve got to kill everyone in the house!!!

[358kl]

I hate mosquitoes they get me every other day!!!

[1blueroanfilly]

lots of inviremental problems with this vidio.

[llorensl]

@1blueroanfilly enviromental

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Dopey's not such a dope, after all.

[AAV47]

Damn, that's destroying the swamps.

[FigmentJedi]

ATTA BOY DOPEY, KILL HER GOOD AND DEAD

[7flyinghecks]

My mom grew up in the 50's when the city would still spray the trees for mosquitoes. She says that for years after those days there were rarely any bats or birds around. It is amazing that we survived the 40's not only with the war but environmentally as well. Today if you want to control the mosquitoes put up a bat house.

[HowlsInTheDistance]

OK lemme see if I've got this... If we permanently drain all natural bodies of water, or at least pump them full of oil and poison, destroy all indigenous vegetation, spray more poison throughout every corner of your home and environment, and bury all of your garbage in a landfill, we will somehow PREVENT the land we live on from turning into a barren, lifeless wasteland? Hmm...

[SirSinister]

So BP is actually saving us from vampires? It all makes sense!

[likyam84]

@SirSinister put a lid on it. its a 40's show. back then all was experimental. thanks to them, we learned to be more careful in choosing what we spray and put on. sheesh!

[Renna180]

the Seven Dwarves 4:08

[IndigoDragoness]

This was before "OFF!" bug repellent was created, so no one realized until later that filling the water with oil and Paris Green kills not just mosquito larvae but everything else in there as well.

Overall neat cartoon, I'm nuts for the Seven Dwarfs.

[IANOYTYK]

I don't know about anyone else... but Dopey's expression with that butcher knife is a little bit creepy...

[NeroTheDarklord]

wait wait wait OIL??????

[pollolienta]

Disney should update this cartoons, some insecticides are not even allowed, times have changed

[jichokwavijana]

very EDUTAINMENT....I LOVE IT

[simontimon2]

Thanks to the wonderfull invention of DDT no long were there children in america dieing form maleria.

[MyMurphysLaw]

yup thats corporate america, destroying the environment since the industrial revolution

[n8ames]

MOSQUITO GENOCIDE

[zipper179]

It was WWII, so, I would look at it in its time....This cartoon served its purpose as training film, for our servicemen and civilians..And who could be a better instructor than someone you know?

[Mr111989]

@zipper179 Do you think that our current troops could benefit from these military training type cartoons if they were made today and if so, why?

[zipper179]

@Mr111989 I believe the world has changed so much since then..I don't think today's audience has become much too jaded since then..In our world of mega-info, we've lost so much of the magic..

[Mr111989]

@zipper179 I know how you feel, with the rise of the internet, it's like why waste time making training films when you could look up what need to know with Google. Still, I think it would be nice if educational films like these were made today so that those of us who do not have Internet connections can learn about what they should or should not do when it comes to situations like what is being shown here.

[zipper179]

@Mr111989 I have to agree with you.. I actually read about misquitos when I was a 4th grader.. We don't seem to read to our children anymore.. Films like CAN teach..

[Mr111989]

@zipper179 This is why films like this need to be made again. Films like this can teach today's children the kind of information that can't always be found on the internet.

[zipper179]

@Mr111989 100% in agreement.. Look at what Frank Capra did with the 'Why We Fight' series during WWII. He beat the Nazis at their own game, in propaganda films.. And, Disney used Goofy to teach drivers' education in the high schools..

Walt Disney had done wonders, filmwise.. His 'True-Life Adventure' films brought nature films to us in a way never before shown.. And that was for starters..

[Mr111989]

@zipper179 Which brings me back to the point I made earlier: These kinds of educational and training films need to be made again because they could teach anyone all the things they need to know that is not or cannot be taught through technological means.If today's public and military had more films like these, then our culture wouldn't be as dumbed down. Wouldn't you agree?

[zipper179]

@Mr111989 You betcha! I have offered use of my videos to schools I have worked in, free of charge. You'd think with all the poor mouthing, they'd jump at. But, no...! Their wheels are stuck in the mud, and, they're victims of their own infighting..

[903harman]

@Mr111989 just stfu ,this is 2010 we have the internet to teach us. its your choice if you want to use it to learn or do some other things with it.

[julidoxy]

This is awesome! Very cute ad with the dwarfs

[shitaciimushrooms]

oh my god... this is SO terrible. XD

[nina92411]

Malaria is a horrible, extremely painful disease. They had to fight it even if the means were not environmentally friendly. It's bog drainage that eliminated it from Europe. Bad for wildlife, of course, but I'm thankful I don't have to fear malaria.

[ChaztheWeasel]

Pouring oil over water, burying cans... Those jaded 1940's Americans.

[demerit56]

no sound 4 me

[jennyEvansmd]

check out another good animation on malaria

from proteinlounge on youtube.

[WammyHouseReject]

this was so funny... we watched this in school!

[RozenAlchemist]

...W-what...? It was s-scary as hell ;A;

[Wejer3]

Best movie by Disney this far IMO.

Ridding the northern hemisphere of Malaria (see 0:45) we have spared ourselves untold misery and unhealth.

Shame the africans can't do the same: DDT has been banned by the environmentalists, and african countries are still today paying the price by millions of dead people...

[NuklearMedizinHilft]

Lol, I love how they completely destroy their envrionment to get rid of mosquitos.

[RozenAlchemist]

Yeah, I noticed that XD And then...They were smiling as they did it O_O''

[Nigralurker]

They do? Would cutting your grass, chopping down a sickly tree, or digging recreating a certain part of your land for crops be destroying the environment?

I wonder what you would do in this situation.

[Psybur]

Mosquitos do not derive nutrition from blood (if they did, the male would feed on it too). On the contrary, both sexes feed on nectare and thus help pollinate plants. Females need the protein from blood to construct the shells for their eggs (this trait is also shared by Horseflies as well).Their offspring are also important food sources to many species in nature as well.

[flyingpurplemenace]

They're still biting the shit out of me.

[Psybur]

True. That is the one down side of them.

[Psybur]

(Note: I'm NOT endorsing "killer" mosquitoes with this message!) I hate how people always make animals who inadvertantly carry diseases seem like they are doing it intentionally. This is a blatant example of anthropomorphism--assigning human traits to nature. If you look at this objectively, like a biologist would, this is just one of a myriad of examples of an endo parasite evolving to take advantage of an ectoparasite...It's just survival. Besides, humans transferr diseases, too!

[battybuddy]

Actually, compared to the other malaria-related propaganda, this one doesn't really show the mosquito as intentionally doing it with intent to spread malaria- save for the whole giant mosquito thing... I do get what your saying, though and I agree with it. ;)

[JonnehsWorld]

Oil + Water = Not good...

[BizzarreProductions]

Lawl, "what could HE find here?"

If a male mosquito is feeding on you, something is very, very wrong. Only the females bite!

[moonymoon27]

O..k..I didn't know this dark side of Disney :))

[TheKingofSilverFoxes]

YES WE'VE GOT TO KILL EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE.

And they wonder why so man kids were messed up...

[Volfeyed]

OMG DISNEY IS LEARNING KIDS HOW TO KILL!!!

lol!

[whatewer23]

And to throw oil into water AND to throw around some poisons that can come around in food chain AND to not to recyckle metals!

[Volfeyed]

Yes!

[LassesIndex]

So true.

[themarcus7775]

lol the seven dwarfs should teach those fuckers!

[sagacious03]

So, as much as I support getting rid of the damned SCOURGE that is mosquitoes and especially those with malaria, there are tons of environmental wall-banger level screw ups. Oil in the water? Spraying pesticide everywhere? Burying your cans? Seriously, if Captain Planet were anywhere near, he would beat the tar out of these guys!! ...No offense to The Seven Dwarves.

[Iwannaplayssbb]

is it me or is this video slightly racist and has an anti-ecologic message?

[karpolo7]

I do not see how it is racist

[Iwannaplayssbb]

black poor man(1:40),infects white(probably tax paying)man, and ruins his life(2:44),or at least thats what the whole thing sounds like to me

[Volfeyed]

That first man was not black if you ask me

[karpolo7]

Ya I don't think he was black, the room was sort of dark.

[JackLuft]

Now THAT'S a real vampire, not like this sparkling crap we have now.

[orochimarujes]

Kill 'er good an' dead!

[miguelviolante]

must kill mosquitoes

[CreepyMcCreep]

Man, fuck mosquitoes.

[marcster1994]

Mosquitos don't know that they carry dieseases. They're just trying to live

[ClockworkIndustries]

Wow, talk about overkill. Destroy the land and wreck habitats for mosquitos? I hate to think what they did with things like slugs. "Rip up your garden! Spray oil and pesticides everywhere! Don't buy slug killer like a normal person - use *insert toxic chemical here* instead!"

[DeadorAlive19]

Wanted: DeadorAlive?! What did I do?! O.O X_X *dies*

Lol Hey there! How are you?

[snailsth102]

They're putting poison, and oil in water, gassng the air, and burying cans, they are doing more harm then good. lol

[Chareater]

i just finshed watching this... oil on water!!! bury cans?? u may kill the the insect but u r going 2 start something worst can u guess wot?

[Chareater]

poor mosquito she just feeding 2 live she not evil

[NeverForgetWizet]

...o_o...

o_______0

...o_o...

[antispam223]

Thank god they have the disease controlled now to where it only infects poor people. They dont take care of their farms even before being infected with Malaria so who cares?

[Disturbedroximo]

wtf.... put oil into the water! LOL!

[903harman]

@Disturbedroximo bp followed the advise :)

[hagamablabla]

@Disturbedroximo indeed, the thin layer of oil starves the eggs of oxygen.

[avalanchesuperstar]

@Disturbedroximo i think theyre talling us what NOT to do

[Randomvideos247]

@Disturbedroximo ikr..thats what i said when our teacher showed it to us!! LOL ^___^

[fuzzyrats12]

i just commited mosquito genocide in my back yard by spraying RAID where they were nesting. lol XD

[neoceluloide]

OMFG! thats an ecologic disaster!

[Buthmasta]

I can't believe that cartoon. American's How dumb can you get & still breathe??

[kw757]

Disney Snuff Film - Love it! Kill them ALL! Coat all the lakes with oil!

[fuzzyrats12]

lets all commit mosquito genocide! lol

[annabellemacdonald]

wait! Why put the cans underground?

Recycle them!

[steers83bravo]

or give them to the scrap drive!

uncle sam needs the aluminum

[annabellemacdonald]

The net over bed is a little...too far for me.

[spowend]

those hell spawns wipe them out before the world corrupts. disney reminds me of hitler

[ROFLSoldiers]

Tell ya what that's all I do I sleep with a frog on my head never been bitten yet rofl ;)

[zandbera]

hang on guys, this might not be a malaria mosquito, let me get my protractor our to make sure she's at a 45 degree angle

[WiredTurkey316]

well, I'm not sure how bad it is, but they quit using Paris Green as and insecticide when safer stuff like DDT came out. So says the great and all knowing wiki.

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

I love how the narrator mentions the money first...

[flightfootwarrior]

lol pour oil on the water spray pesticides, cut down all reeds? i think disney has somthing against the environment X3 seriously though this is pretty wierd from disney

[disneyfan85]

If Snow White is rereleased on PE, they should include this on there (and also "Seven Wise Dwarfs").

[GREGMAX111]

We watched this in our Geography class.

Well, watching Dopey the dwarf murder a mosquito definitely beats mapping any day.

[talonakalu]

Ofcourse, to kill the wigglers. lol

Dont forget to spray pesticides around your children. You do love them dont you?

[skinnerburgers]

So oil spills are a good thing?

[theCombusted]

6:52 - Narrator to Dopey: "Yes, we've got to kill everyone in the house" OMG. lol

The animation is really great, but I'm glad Disney stopped doing this type of propaganda. It's scary, IMO.

[joshuawns]

i know a guy that has malaria

[DevynYoshi]

I agree with this video. We would be alot better off without misquitos.

[DourifGirl]

So according to this video, we should just wear haz-mat suits for the rest of our lives

[Generaly82]

Los siete enanitos de Blanca Nieves version Disney han cumplido el deber de prevenir los brotes de la Malaria y/o Paludismo, muy util durante la guerra del pacifico y desde la creacion del canal de Panama

OS SALUDO

[malego222]

Lol!

"That a boy Dopey, kill her,"

XD Oh my gosh.

That was awesome!

[GREGMAX111]

7:00 Lmao

[cruger2984]

what is that dusting thing?

[ICEKOLDKILLA22]

lol

[dahoss65]

Put oil in the water and kill the fish and pollute the water. Also bury your cans and other containers in the ground so over time it will destroy the land. Funny stuff!

[harrychestwigg]

@dahoss65 i kind of though[sic] that myself

[ssestakhch]

@dahoss65 I too acknowledge the disadvantages of some of the shown tactics.

[gregformager]

Millions of dollars lost! lolz

[shrensh]

They used to play this for us at school when I was about 6 or 7. It made me absolutely terrified of mosquitoes for years afterwards...

[sebasbe]

Malaria en USA

[kjjk13114]

Wow...so kill all the other things lol

[kittypet123]

Yeah
