Overview
- Summary
- A look at the way cartoons were used during World War II to deliver propagandistic ideas in a seemingly innocuous manner. A blend of documentary war footage, animated material, and music from the period, the film reveals insights about the psyche of the public at that time. Among those interviewed are Sody and Bob Clampett, the wife and son of animator Bob Clampett, and animator Chuck Jones.
