What is considered controversial now wasn't during the war years; it was propaganda needed to get and keep Americans focused on the Allies' goals and the dangers of a loose lip. These cartoons ought to be shown today rather than relegated to the vaults because they are important bits of history.
I agree, to an extent. These cartoons should be shown within their historical context, just as cartoons with racist imagery should be presented with a disclaimer.
Every cartoon and film you mentioned in the first two minutes were being shown on UK tv back in the 80s when I was a child, I’m so glad I got to see them back then before the world was taken over by the “Woke” virus and people weren’t such pussies scared of committing the despicable crime of offending someones feelings! It just goes to show that hiding these old classic cartoons away from children nowadays serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever because i along with thousands of other children saw them and it didn’t turn us into racists or bigots! It just kept us entertained in front of the TV for half an hour out of Moms way while she cooked the dinner 😂
You do realise that if these cartoons were released today, they would be slammed as "Woke garbage" by reactionaries, right? Modern audiences aren't nearly as easily offended as you seem to think. Rather, we understand context, and don't want fascism to be promoted. These cartoons satirise fascism, not promote them.
Song of the South . . . "yanked from US screens quicker than you can say Splash Mtn"? I'm not sure what you mean. Yes, the film carried its share of controversy, but it played in theaters across the country on it's original release and afterwards. I myself saw it as a child in the 1970s, when my local movie theater would show Disney classics as matinees during the summer.
Disney: Oh no I’m ashamed of these cringy cartoons that we made.(which they’re really not that bad, including Song of the South) Warner Bros: Yeah we fucked up, but we ain’t pusses about it we’re gonna all of this in DVD.
I remember 80s seeing these. We weren't morons back then and knew a joke was a joke. We also weren't hitting each other with mallets or lighting dynamite under our asssessss 😅😂
I saw all sorts of wartime cartoons on early television. That was about the only war the U.S. needed to get involved in. Now we have exaggerated sensitivity and people running around with swastikas on the arms. I’ll take these cartoons anyday.

These cartoons are not controversial. They are part of Disney history and some of the best cartoons in their history. Certainly better than the trash they have been releasing the last 10 years or so.
I disagree. Disney has put out some fun films as of late, even if they aren't perfect. Strange World was fun, if a tad predictable, plot wise, and Encanto had a fair bit to offer in terms of complex antagonists.
I watch these with my seven year old but I also teach history. As amazing as they are even if you separate the stereotypes they arent the best viewing if you dont have context. Education for Death blew my mind when I first saw it.
We’re not exactly enlightened today they’re banning Russian orchestras, and people that have nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. The entertainment media are coming out with anti-Russian propaganda right now today. What political correctness?
I love 'Song of The South'. Of course, I am actually from Georgia so I guess I'm kinda biased since Joel Chandler Harris is from my state. The guy wanted to document African African folklore and dialect and should be lauded for it in my opinion.
Why is it so difficult to get people to understand that before criticizing things like this that though near impossible you've gotta put yourself in the mindset of Americans during war time. Fortunately most people today haven't experienced a world war and hopefully never will. It was drilled into American's minds to hate the enemy and support the troops. I think people should have easy access to these. Also to "racist" cartoons too. Maybe include why they were made that way. Explain at what point they stopped and what it was that caused them to stop. How will people ever learn or understand if things are just hidden from them by people that believe they know what's best for everyone? (psst. They don't.)
Yes I agree, you can make fun of the past & we can all agree that unhealthy habits & medical treatments like believing Mercury was beneficial in the 1800’s era. But like the ignorant actress Disney hired to do woke “Snow White” criticizing the original “back in 1937” for being dated the people back then had higher ideals & less PC but they were tougher from the depression era. Where people today tend to be overly entitled & a bunch of wusses. No way younger people today would live without computers, cell phones, or try to read books by kerosene lantern or do without indoor bathrooms. Yeah.
@@thorgot911 been to Disney World half a dozen times maybe 7 or 8. My personal wait time exceeds two days. The only thing good about DW is/are those Turkey legs. Unfortunately I can no longer afford $5K for one. But next time you go have a good time, always stay in the left lanes as Americans tend to head to the right lanes unconsciously because we drive on the right side. There are studies. I was one of the last to get to ride on the sub, 20,000 leagues under the sea before it closed. Really liked splash mountain too (is that the correct name?) but I think that’s closed now because wet mountains are racist. FJB.
These disney war propaganda films should be made available for all to see 👀 them......the kid's of today don't realise just how lucky they are to enjoy the privileges that they do.....the world might have been a whole lot different if hitler & his cronies had won the 2nd World War......there's nothing really controversial about these films they're products of their generation & shouldn't be taken out of context
my father, usmc AA gunner on USS Pennsy 1941 went from there, guadalcanal to iwo jima (bayoneted and war was over for him) never saw these films, my mother, nor i. disney was an antisemitic, antilabor, homophobic, cruel and warped individual. made good cartoons tho. disney world is a laughing stock slap to him today! good vid!
I'm no fan of Disney, but this presentation is nonsense. You must be channeling "that party at Lenny's" to be so thoroughly radical chic. Also, Fantasia garnered significant critical acclaim at the time of release and was seen by some critics as a masterpiece (Los Angeles Times, January 30, 1941).
I have had an interest in WWII propaganda cartoons one of my favorites is bugs bunny nips the nips. I thought how can anyone fall for this stuff, now I see people eating up the latest propaganda. How can people be so gullible
Nothing controversial about these shorts. History is history. Know it or repeat it.
Guess we're doomed to repeating it.
I was just talking to an older gentleman last Sunday about these he had a Donald Duck tie and said he was his favorite actor

These cartoons are an extremely Important part of US and WWII history. All of them!🇺🇸
Warner Bros did the same types of films featuring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. One of the most popular ones was called Draftee Daffy.
Popeye too
How have Cannibal Corpse never had an album called "Education For Death"?!

I’m with Donald on paying income tax: AW, Phooey
These cartoons are tamed today compared to family Guy and South Park. What are you talking about them being banned today?
Weather they are officially offensive depends on who is offended.
@PedroOrtega1993 That's because the straight, pro life folks can be offended without any repercussions.

Not sure I'm catching the "controversial" parts...where are they?
WW2 cartoons were different at the time.
They were showing these on network television up through the early mid 1980s i recall.
The rerun zone and I know the exact location of Walt Disney's Frozen head.
It's next to Jimmy Hoffa's and Marilyn and JFK's secret mountain love nest
@@Merylstreep1949 it's a secret

Another awesome video that shows we used to not get offended like it seems today every 15 seconds 😢
For all of you screaming WOKE, this and WOKE that. Try and get any school in Florida to play one of these films and see who complains about it. 🙄

I thought Commando Duck was about why Donald Duck never wore pants 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
At the time they were made people liked them. Now the Woke Crowd would like to Re-Write History and not show them.
Sad and all too true. Forgetting the past means repeating it till the lesson is learn. Respect is a tough lesson.
Thanks for sharing Rich.

An excellent concept.
Why would they be banned today?
Might hurt someone's feelings.
Insufficiently woke.
Understood.
I'm guessing it's more the cartoons about japan that were racist.
@@dreadfulspiller8766
You're right! I always found it interesting that we were allowed to make fun of Germans (Hogan's Heroes) but not the Japanese?
It does make you wonder about "entertainment" & domestic propaganda today.
Quite informing. Thanks
I watch these with my seven year old but I also teach history. As amazing as they are even if you separate the stereotypes they arent the best viewing if you dont have context.
Education for Death blew my mind when I first saw it.
I liked Fantasia I could see cartoons like this in the first Iraq war. And where was that goldbricking Mickey Mouse? Hiding in Canada?
Is there any way to see these propaganda videos?
We’re not exactly enlightened today they’re banning Russian orchestras, and people that have nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. The entertainment media are coming out with anti-Russian propaganda right now today. What political correctness?
Well, you could try finding them on TH-cam.
I luved FANTastiA and even named my first cat after it.
I love 'Song of The South'. Of course, I am actually from Georgia so I guess I'm kinda biased since Joel Chandler Harris is from my state. The guy wanted to document African African folklore and dialect and should be lauded for it in my opinion.
Donald Duck could convince people to pay their taxes when the prospect of JAIL wouldn't??
Possibly, besides putting people in jail costs money: food, guards, facilities, courts.
Given today's Disney money machine, it might have been good if Fantasia bankrupted it out of existence
That reminds me. If "Fantasia" was such a flop and received negative reviews, why is it considered a "masterpiece" today?
@@michaelpalmieri7335
It got shown again in the 60’s it became the movie to watch high that’s why it was popular again
@@philbouchard8366
Well, I suppose that makes sense, if you're a hippie.
Boycott Disney
Now we get Snowflake and the 7 dorks

Anything Disney should be boycotted today.
Too woke.
Was just gonna write that 😢
Yeah, but their theme parks are the best. Sorry I'm a capitalist, I tend to go with the best product. Evil is everywhere and everyone is evil.
