Cartoon Wars 1.05

When Cartoons Went to War - Part 2: Propaganda and Instructional Films

The cartoons from which clips are shown in this episode focus on the importance of air power, buying war bonds, vaccinations, how to shoot a machine gun, and what life is like in Nazi Germany.

These are the cartoons that are part of this episode.

Propaganda Films
  • Victory Through Air Power
  • Which Way This Time
  • Defense Against Invasion
  • Food Will Win the War
Instructional Films
  • Stop That Tank
  • Hitler's Children
  • Bugs Bunny Bomb Rally
Thoughts

The extensive use of cartoons in this era makes me wonder about their impact on the perceptions of the medium.
