@iovandrake In all fairness, there were Japanese infiltrators that mapped out the position of the ships at Pearl Harbor. So it did happen. But that's why Americans of Japanese decent were interned, to keep them from spying and to keep them safe from the panicy public.

I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE.

This obviously isn't Bud Collyer supplying the voice of Superman; any idea who it is? Because he's terrible.

Thanks for the video. It was amazing.

This is actually incredibly tame compared to other anti-Japanese WWII episodes from other cartoons. Really the Japanese shown in this weren't horrible racist insults like a lot of their wartime depictions. They were shown to be competent and intelligent. The only real bad message from this episode is that Japanese citizens could be deadly spies for Japan. Which was a real fear that the population had at the time. Doesn't excuse that fear but it was a fear none the less.

Complainers: This is WARTIME PROPAGANDA. If any animators had the balls , we'd have "The Justice League VS. Al Queda", but we're too Sensitive these days, even to those who Did And/Or Would Kill Us If They Could. It's also A CARTOON, the last time I checked.
