They were all made for an adult market and shown before the feature film.<BR/><BR/>The theatre would show a newsreel, some trailers for other movies, maybe a musical performance by a pop band of the time and a cartoon. Then they would show a movie. A lot more for the price of a ticket by today's standards.<BR/><BR/>So when Disney started making these films, they were fully intended for an adult audience.<BR/><BR/>This is part of the reason why they are not seen today. Kids would understand the whole paying taxes thing, nor would they understand the historical context of the subject matter.Kurtis Findlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616782091519182069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31956365.post-1154571425768157692006-08-02T19:17:00.000-07:002006-08-02T19:17:00.000-07:00Hey thanks for posting these, toast...I could take...Hey thanks for posting these, toast...I could take a whole blog entry talking about my thoughts on them. lol<BR/><BR/>The Sleeping Beauty analogy in the first one was nuts...democracy is the witch?? Holy cow...<BR/><BR/>The second one had some funny moments..but something about Donald Duck saying "Heil Hitler" was just creepy...<BR/><BR/>And the end was just a *bit* overboard, I think...Donald wrapped in a US flag and hugging the statue of liberty? Sheesh...<BR/><BR/>The third one got me wondering...who was the intended audience for these cartoons? The third one was all about how important it is to pay your taxes, but obviously that wouldn't apply to children. Yet when would adults ever watch a Donald Duck cartoon? :Scoolshadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738939187852504657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31956365.post-1154562134552358442006-08-02T16:42:00.000-07:002006-08-02T16:42:00.000-07:00Disney made plenty of anti-Axis of Evil films.

I missed my animation history class that was about that as well. It seems I'm not meant to see these films. The only one I've seen in that group is Der Feurer's face or however you spell that. I know I watched a few in a history class I took a year or two ago, but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called. I know they were Disney.<BR/><BR/>I wish Disney would make some like... anti-Sadam Houssein or anti-Bin Laden propaganda. That'd be sweet. Although it probably won't happen because everyone's too busy not uniting as a country under Bush. Oh well.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471583496471647202noreply@blogger.com
