World War 2 Propaganda Cartoons

[Vince Evert]

There's quite a few of them, that had propaganda messages in the narrative or in a coda, worthy of putting together a topic in context.

lets start with Tokio Jokio (1943) Looney Tunes animated short film produced by Warner Bros. It was intended as an American propaganda film against Japan while the two countries were at war. As with most of the Looney Tunes shorts produced during World War 2, the film consists of a series of rapid-fire, short gag vignettes.

Donald's Decision -

In 1941 Walt Disney produced this short film, which promotes Canadian War Bonds, for the Canadian government.

Next addition will be Stop That Tank! (AKA Boys Anti-Tank Rifle).



"This cartoon was a commercial for war bonds and would have been shown during previews in movie theaters. Walt Disney was commissioned to create multiple cartoons in Canada. The whole point was to convince the audience that if they showed their financial support, and if they had the proper weapons that they needed to defeat the German tanks, it was possible to win the war for the Allied Forces. " Quote Shannon Quinn, 2017
