The Winged Scourge

- The Winged Scourge is the first of a series of health-related educational short films produced by the Disney studios and the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs for showing in Latin America. It was also the only one to use established Disney characters (the Seven Dwarfs).
In this propaganda short, the viewers are taught about how mosquitoes can spread malaria. A young mosquito flies into a house and consumes the blood of an infected human. She then consumes the blood of a healthy human, transmitting the disease to him. It turns out that this is actually a film within a film and the Seven Dwarfs are watching it. The Dwarfs volunteer to get rid of the mosquito by destroying her breeding grounds and encouraging its natural predators.
The short mentions the use of Paris green and motor oil to control the spread of malaria-borne mosquitoes, both of which are no longer recommended; Paris green was once used as a pigment and later an insecticide but has since been discontinued due to it being extremely poisonous.
80 years later and we now know that putting motor oil on the water, burying trash, and using Paris Green (banned in the 1960's due to how toxic it was) is absolutely horrific for the environment lol
Even the most educated scientists believe in some bullshittery other people of their time believe
Not to mention destroying wetlands, and the thousands of species that live in them.
Agreed.
Yeah, due to those issues, this video has aged like milk. Yikes!
Now today in 21st century, People now use baby oil or vegetable oil to kill mosquito Larve.
I didn't know the 7 dwarves were helping people to get rid of the mosquito's but they did they job well done
Neither did I.
Yeah, they’re like the expendables
Me too I didn't know yeather.
They also encouraged my grandparents to help out during WWII. I forget what short it was, but the song went "It's off to War we go!"
@@dreamsofparis5535They did a film for the NFB where the dwarfs exchange the jewels from their mine for Canadian war bonds/certificates.
Love all of the people that come here seeing the 7 dwarves dump a pond with motor oil and pesticides and think to themselves "wow, I've learned something!"
Exactly.
I should get some of that Paris Green stuff, it's to DIE for. 😉
This was a fun edutainment short! I'm a big fan of dwarfs (especially the Disney branch)
Though, one thing to acknowledge is that what people didn't fully realize in the 1940's was most of the techniques used to rid mosquitoes was also really bad for the environment like the oil spray and, correct me if I'm wrong, burying tin cans. But this was long before Off bug repellant.
But they've got some things right
@@KatieSandell-o2o Yeah, like screens on doors and windows, plus netting over beds. They're still used to this day.
I was wondering how long it would be before someone brought this up.
殺虫剤や石油による環境汚染はさすがにカンベンしてほしい
それに蚊を食って生きている生き物も多いし
With the metal trash, I was expecting that they would say something about donating to a scrap drive, given the wartime conditions at the time (unless it wasn’t a usable kind, I guess).
The mosquito problem was Cobra Bubble's fault as he convinced the space council that they were an endangered species and to make more of them.
😂 now thats a good disney reference
I'm pretty sure he wasn't even born yet 😂
Plus, wasn't his lie about the mosquitoes started back in the 70s or 80s?
I'm not so sure. The movie came out in the early 2000s, but I think it may have taken place during the 50s or 60s because didn't you see in some scenes where they had black and white TVs in the shops, or the kids rode big wheels and Leela had a little record player. Those things weren't from the early 2000s.
@@theamericanshepherd5378 Nah bubbles mentions Roswell 1973 and implies that it was years ago. So we can assume the film takes place in contemporary 2003.
@@theamericanshepherd5378
The technology shown is very unmistakably nineties, and if owning a record player is only possible in the sixties I guess I'm frozen in time for owning and still using several XD
Also, the planned climax of the film saw the characters use a modern 747 plane to pursue Gantu through a city, but it got changed to using a starship in a mountain area due to 9/11 happening.
As cool as seeing the dwarves again is. Seeing them cover water wirh oil, burying cans and getting rid of water doesnt feel right.
But other things they do are right like filling cracks, covering their beds in nets and putting a lid over their water barrel.
It isn’t that stuff Is horrible for the environment but covering the cracks and crevices is a effective way to prevent mosquitoes from reproducing or contracting the malaria virus
This informative short movie has way much more creativity and ingenuity than anything that came out of Disney studios in the past years!
They are spraying arsenic around the home.. including in a cooking pot. And spraying arsenic and oil in aquatic ecosystems. This is moronic and horrifying.
@@d.s.5820this was in the 40s the negative effects of those methods
God bless the 7 dwarfs
Not only is it very informative, but a wonderful piece of forgotten art!
Indeed.
Some of that information is severely outdated but still very informative and entertaining
This is extremely wrong and dated information, but great animation nonetheless
@@noeisnothere Indeed.
This cartoon was amazing.
But I'm not sure they know that the use of poison will have consequences on the nature. Same for puting cans underground.
The desc mentioned that Paris Green and Oil is no longer used due to the poison
What do you think happens to garbage? It's buried in landfills. Cans don't hurt anything.
I'm glad they show this as a educational from Disney and the Seven Dwarfs in it is so cute!
As expect, old Disney is the best.
Amen, brother
Define old because nobody wants any the early decades back. It's always the 90s.
@0deadx21 Around the 1940's up. Think Snow White amd The Seven Dwarves, Cinderella, or Dumbo. You can also put Sleeping Beauty in there too.
@@showman139 It's a good thing those films were made in those decades because people nowadays expect better and more nuances that those films offered. It'll be seen as lazy to make movies exactly like those.
If a 90s cartoon like Dexter's Laboratory didn't exist back then, it certainly won't now or ever. The opportune time to make it is long past. The episodes sure are outdated and lazy in comparison to stuff now.
@0deadx21 Lazy, maybe. Outdated is more relative. Also, what do you mean by nuanced? There are new cartoons out there that people are upset about.
I didnt even know this cartoon existed! I'm glad I stumbled across it!
Glad you brought this back. A couple of the Sutherland educational vids that used to be on TH-cam have disappeared over the years. So more copied are appreciated..
Wow! I didn’t know about this short.
Neither did I
Same here.
Yeah! I wonder how many hidden gems are there
4:56 Don’t mess with the 7 Dwarfs!
6:31 Is that a smile on Grumpy I see?
Let’s just say he’s interested in helping the environment .
Yup!!😊🎉
Grumpy doesn't smile often, but when he does, it's sure to melt your heart.
I believe it is. I think Snow White made a big impact on him
The Animals are helping Happy, Dopey, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, and Doc to get rid of Mosquitos?
I thought dealing with a witch, is one thing but mosquitoes . They’re dealing with a parasite.
From nature protection to mosquito and fish genocide poisoned with oil😂
They should've used Disney to create animated shorts on the COVID-19 pandemic.
I’d rather ask Baymax ⚫️➖⚫️🩺⛑️to volunteer on this case after all, he is a doctor and his job is to cure the environment . And sometimes I get the feeling, he must’ve saved the world by creative vaccination. 💉
There's an idea.
I think they did
Man disney back then teaches us alot of things even tho its toxic in standard day. Now it just nonsense on tv, thank you so kich for uploading this
Wait… were they telling people to purposefully pour oil into bodies of water?
They said only a little and probably didn't know that killed anything other than bugs at the time. This is an awfully old cartoon.
Yes, at the time they thought it was fine. Do not put oil on water.
@@richvanatte3947 Might be why TH-cam was the only place to find this video
@@jonathansayah9506 yeah, I knew that much. XD
It’s one of those old “information cartoons” they did, educating people on stuff or something XD
@@The_Unknown_Mister_E The oil thing aside, it was a good thing too. Mind you, bug prevention methods have improved somewhat.
Another trick I heard for mosquitos in rain barrels is keeping small fish like goldfish in them to eat the wigglers. I guess the fish poop adds nutrients for when you water your flower garden. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What do you do with the fish in the mean time, do you feed them and take care of them?
WHAT!!?🤯🤯
NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS! And I've seen some old ones!😮😱😵😳
This is new to me too.
4:21 - This clip was featured in the Shining Time Station episode, "Achoo", when Stacy Jones told Mr. Conductor the story of Li'l Sneezer (not to be confused with the Tiny Toon Adventures character of the same name). That larva was meant to represent a germ.
Gordon was crossed.
Gordon : Why should Henry have a new shape? A shape good enough for me is good enough for him! He goes gallivanting off, leaving us to his work for him, and then he comes back saying how happy he feels. It's disgraceful! And there's another thing; Henry whistles too much. No respectable engine whistles loudly at stations. It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it.
Narrator : Poor Henry didn't feel happy anymore.
Percy : [soothing] Never mind, Henry. I'm glad you're home again. I like your whistling.
Gordon : [as he leaves the shed] Goodbye, Henry. We are glad to have you with us again, but remember what I said.
Autism alert!
And here I thought that the winged scourge (that pecks in the night) was Darkwing Duck! Also, I never knew that the 7 Dwarves were experts in pest control.
No he's the terror that flaps in the night
The 7 dwarfs are the best. I know how to take care of the mosquitos. The short was very educational
🦟🦟🦟👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Dopey has a pet frog .
Well,Frogs do eat mosquitos. And bats,dragonflies,spiders,fish eat them too. And there is a special type of plant that eats mosquitos
The seven dwarfs of Snow White!
Indeed they are 😂
Yes
No, the mouses of Cinderella!
@@thatsmarco7413 don’t think so, but back, then men did had more attention and screen times than women.
Yeah, no thanks to the oil on the water. lol. My dad and I just cut the weeds around our ponds to get help reduce mosquitoes.
Disney has always been a propaganda tool. Some things never change.
War never changes and Disney's whimsical although behind the times PSAs also never changes.
Wow, I've never seen this cartoon short before. It would've been a cool bonus feature on the Snow White DVD/Blu-ray.
Hopefully I’d rather consider refurbishing again.
Agreed.
The part where those dwarves are making a screen fence for their windows car reminds me my second trip to Orlando, which they probably used it on those wasps .
Infelizmente não se fazem mais desenhos desse nível, a nível educativo!
Keep your body Safe & in good Health.
its cool how much people knew about mosquitoe biology all the way back in the 1900s
Trust me, they were MUCH smarter than we give them credit for.
That’s the reason why we have history classes to learn from our past to better prepare us for the future
And how much they don't know yet about how oil in the water and Paris Green as mosquito control are harmful to the environment and burying a can instead of recycle is not the answer, but that's just how it was. We are constantly learning from mistake and be better.
Job well done 7 Dwarf‼
*dwarfs
@@denisgauthier9191 😅 Yeah, I meant to say that but they're doing a good job
Here in mexico mosquito is a common worry because they transmite dengue influenza an other disease but we follow these procidues
Man, I haven’t seen this in decades!
Ah, back when Disney had the balls to do stuff like this, now they try to pretend they never did it
I live on a Farm where West Nile is bad, we would cut the weeds in a pond in our backyard where yes lots of “wigglers” are just bobbing on the surface. We sometimes put dish soap or vegetable oil too, however most of the time we let the fish eat them.
I like how they blame the mosquito, who doesn't know they have the illness, and not Malaria itself.
It was a bigger problem in the us back in the day, now a days malaria isn’t around in the states but other than that the mosquitoes here are at most a mild annoyance but all around harmless
The malaria doesn't know its doing harm either its just doing what we all are...trying to survive
Malaria do harm. IT Attack And destroy your read blood cells
The mosquitos have more agency.
They might blame bats for Covid-19, and make a cartoon of it in the future.
Something disturbingly psychotic about the 7 dwarves delighting in extermination 😂
For anyone looking at this as a learning video, please do not put oil in the water. It's bad for the environment and illegal.
Thanks seven dwarfs
The heroic dwarfs
Because this short was made for the U.S. Government, it was never copyrighted and automatically entered the public domain.
7:56: Burying trash is NOT good anymore. We can recycle a lot of it.
But it has mosquitoes.
This is like going to the sea to save seals…
BY KILLING SHARKS!
Wow this is extremely rare, i didn't know disney made something like this😮
Neither did I, I saw they made the cat short and the truth about Mother Goose, but I did not know about this, until now.
i know for a fact that disney did do war cartoons during WW2@@dreamguardian8320
I'm just so perplexed as to why they choose the seven dwarves, of all characters they chose them to be in an educational shorts about malaria
Mosquito are dangerous
Dopey the mosquito hunter!
This is short film is of historical interest. But pouring gasoline, oil, and pesticides into water isn't exactly a bright idea. I do remember in the 1960's these methods were uses, and we paid for it with undrinkable water.
It's so cute when Snow White's animal friends pitched in.😊❤
Feels like a cut content of Snow White, where the 7 dwarves fulfill other tasks besides mining for gems.
Than 20 years later “Silent Spring” would be published
🎵🎶 Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to kill we go! 🎶🎵(Whistle)🎶🎵 Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to kill we go! 🎵🎶(Whistle)🎵🎶 Hi Ho, Hi Ho! 🎶🎵
The seven dwarfs are so cute 💕
Gus is the ghost dwart chains prisoner from Haunted Mansion.
Polluting the environment to protect the health of the world honestly has the same energy as "WE DID IT PATRICK! WE SAVED THE CITY!"
This television movie is amazing
The sound of man talking...is so relaxing...& push person to continue watching...
I wonder these the seven Dwarfs have to different jobs!!?🤔💼
It's not just malaria we have to worry about nowadays during Mosquito Season.
Just watching the 7 Dwarfs, made me happy and feel unbeleivably relaxed, I forgot about all the misery of this World even if just for a little while, I always have and always will love Disney❤,,who else feels the same? 👇😊
During ww2 Disney did propaganda movies and helping the war effort
Thanks for uploading!
I neer knew this was a thing with Disney and the 7 Dwarfs!
Mosquitoes would have been a horrific threat during World War 2 much like the Nazis.
🤔Digging, collecting, and selling priceless gemstones and ores to people, and protecting everyone else around the world from mosquitoes! 🤯Wowzers, they really are making a fortune, 🤑😃who else is up to applying for their cause?
🤚FELLOW MEMBERS, SAY I!🤚
Hamton: Maybe we can watch the special episode of tiny toons adventures.
00:05:00 - announcer: this week on tiny toon adventures!
Yes they do.
May The Force be with the 7 Dwarves.
When was this released?
According to the opening credits, 1943.
4 years after Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs was released
I get some sleep with many much carpets every night so not mosquitos come to drink blood from my arms.
And maybe cartoon characters trying too and 7 dwarfs from Snow White get defeat mosquitos.
How comes ive never seen it? Its dark as hell till the dwarves come, then its funny
When was this made
1943
@@DavidMWilliamsthx
I hate mosquitoes. I'm glad malaria is not in my country
I will do what I can to stop the mosquitoes from threatening anyone! Good thing I remembered that the mosquitoes need the water to give birth so to stop it from happening I'll have to dump the water! And this summer I am going to put on lots of bug spray! And if you want my opinion those mosquitoes are disgusting! But they're much worse than disgusting they are very dangerous parasites!❤
But wouldn't bug spray threaten the environment?
Assuming this isn't a bot account- this short is 80ish years old, malaria is not a huge threat in the United States anymore. The CDC successfully eliminated malaria, and now days the vast majority of malaria cases in the US come from people who visit other parts of the world where malaria is common. Thankfully, we have medical treatments that prevent the spread of malaria.
No, they CARRY dangerous parasites! The mosquito is only the host/carrier. It's the vira and micro organisms, that are bad: Dengue fever, Zika virus, etc.
Mosquitoes are my natural nemesis.
Ah, the sweet naïveté of the 40s - 50s
I feel you don't have to even be a greeny, for this to drive you nuts. 😂👍
I wonder if some of us who lived in New Orleans can do the same thing?
Some of these tactics are outdated and harmful to the environment, double and triple your sources before doing anything.
My, my, how far we’ve come.
5:07 why Dopey has a meat Cleaver❔
is mystery XD
5:28 isnt that pollution?
7:50 couid have just washed away and recycled
This was the 1940s when people didn’t really care, however it’s actually pretty funny how people would go to extreme lengths to kill mosquitos. Plus recycling was never a thing until the 70s
@lunarneo757 I know. I was being obnoxious in a funny way.
🎵Hi-ho! Hi-ho, hi-ho! It’s home from the work we go! 7 dwarves help get rid of mosquitoes so we don’t get sick! Hi-ho! Hi-ho, Hi-ho! It’s home from the work we go!🎵
Why wasn't Snow White in this short?
This was meant to be an educational skit commissioned by Walt Disney as a cautionary review and tale to promote the prevention of malaria. The first ever Disney princess was not required to be included for it so the animators of this short simply decided not to
@@Allfather_of_all_living_things Besides, she's probably the one who issued the Campaign against Malaria Mosquitoes.
Back in the day the dwarfs were very popular, sometimes even more popular than Snow White's character. I once saw a documentary on the making of Pinocchio and they said that people were actually disappointed that the dwarfs weren't in Pinocchio, even though it's a totally different story.
Because she’s with her princes
Oh well, you gotta get a lot wrong in science to get something right. At least we know better now!
He will miss the blood #fieldmuseum
In Arkansas the mosquitoes are the state bird
Adding oil to the water..?
They use motor oil back in the 40s to killed mosquitos' larvae, until it was banned in the 60s, it' was toxic to environment. Now here today in 21st century, people use baby oil or vegetable oil to kill the larvae, make it safe in the environment.
8:46 RIP frog
If frogs got malaria from eating mosquitos, they'd be extinct by now. Same with spiders catching them in their webs.
It's the mosquito's bite that gets the disease into your blood. Once the insect hits the frog's digestive tract, it's done biting for good.
蚊がテーマのアニメで白雪姫の小人達が出てくるとは予想外です
I hate mosquitoes
Snow White and Prince charmed are get wedding then a good work the seven dwarfs for saven of health.
This doesn't look ALL that good for the environment.
Probably not but considering how miserable Malaria is this was the best alternative they had at the time.
They really ssid to put oil in the water 😮😮😮
