Cartoons Go to War
- 1995 ----- color ----- 45 min ----- vhs
- On the eve of the Second World War, as patriotic men and women across the nation were lining up to do their part in the fight against fascism, the U.S. Signal Corps inducted some unlikely civilians: a rabbit and two ducks. America's most beloved animated characters--including the biggest stars from Disney and Warner Bros.--put on the uniform in propaganda films designed to boost morale. Cartoon maestro Chuck Jones, film directing legend Frank Capra and the Walt Disney Studios were all recruited by the armed forces to produce shorts and training films for the war effort. Their creations, from Private Snafu to Mr. Hook to the Academy Award winning Der Fuehrer's Face, offer a funny and fascinating look at the politics, goals and culture of the times.
