Disney Nazi related propaganda films

Yes, I've seen it twice. It's called Education For Death and can be downloaded here. It's disturbingly one-sided (as propaganda tends to be) but very cool to watch in retrospect. Also worth checking out is The Spirit Of '43, which is about the importance of taxes ("...to sink the Axis!") and stars Donald and (a variation of?) Uncle Scrooge.
BTW, those shots of Donald are from a different short called Der Führer's Face. It's available here, although the quality is rather poor. (Requires the VDO codec.) It actually won the Academy Award for Best Cartoon Short Subject in 1943.

I cant wait to see the (possible) Disney War film treasures.
I've never seen any of the war cartoons and i think it would interesting to see these relics from the era.

Installed the VDO codec (got it from here -- https://online.ksu.edu/support/tegrity/download.html) but it's not showing any real picture -- just a stack of mixed up pixels. Audio is coming through fine. Using WMP 9

And yes, as an American must be, Disney was against the axis and the films his studio produced for the war effort were all anti-nazi and anti-japanese.
By the way, you have to know that these films were commisionned by the US government. They are propaganda films made to sell the idea of War to a public that did not understand exactly what was going on in Europe at this time.
I really hope the War time cartoons will all be present on the new Disney Treasure box set in december as they are an important part of last century's history.

I really hope those cartoons will be on that upcoming Treasures set.

Wait, they'll release this but not "Song of the South" (!?)

Dude, that's really disturbing stuff. Disney definitely had a dark side that came through in many of the earlier films. The Disney of today is all about making a utopia with pure cheese.

Right, in "Christmas on Bear Mountain". I'm a big Carl Barks fan myself. Just didn't remember that the comic came out in '48, five years after the short.

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think Uncle Scrooge made an official cartoon appearance until "Mickey's Christmas Carol", well over 30 years after his comics introduction.
