"Gosh! A dream! It was all a dream!"
First time I saw that last scene I just HOWLED!
The old USA Network weekend show "Night Flight" used to show these old clips along with stuff like Georges Melies (sp) "A Trip To the Moon" set to I think it may have been Pink Floyd.

@RileyRichardz They been using clips of old retro cartoons that were made before and during World War II for intros for every episodes of Futurama, but I think they may stopped doing that during the revival on Comedy Central.

@AntiVenom36 Thats right! I remember that!

Carl Stalling strikes up "This Is Worth Fighting For" under the opening titles.

Oriignally released in August 1943, at the height of patriotic fervor during World War II. Scrap metal (as well as used rubber and cooking fats) was VERY much in demand for recycling- to be used in making weapons and other essential materials for our armed forces oversseas- and this dramatized how much the government was counting on "the home front" to keep that metal coming. Even in a cartoon context, the war was serious business. Sam Goldwyn originated the phrase, "Include me out".

The clip when Daffy becomes Super American fighting against the Nazi ship was in the opening of the Futurama episode, Deep South.
Looney Tunes always did a wonderful job of entertaining. And they did a masterful job of raising troop morale during the war. Way better than the toy commercials that pass for entertainment these days. My kids even like the old Looney Tunes better than the stuff they have out now. Goes to show just how good they were and still are.
