1.0 out of 5 stars Talking Heads talk about Cartoons, January 9, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cartoons Go to War [VHS] (VHS Tape)
What a complete letdown. Various individuals, either connected with the making of cartoons or historians/students of the form talk about the cartoon industry's enlistment in the war effort of WWII. Rather than letting the viewer see them for him or herself, we get about three minutes of uninteresting babbling and 30 seconds of film clip. The unanswered question is: "Where can we see the actual cartoons?" I feel that my money was wasted, I'd certainly never watch this "collection" more than once.

1.0 out of 5 stars bait and switch, March 3, 2001

This review is from: Cartoons Go to War [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I purchased this video because it claimed to contain "Der Fuehrer's Face." In fact, one gets a bunch of talking heads chattering about the cartoons of the Second War without seeing any cartoons in their entirety. It's hard not to conclude that the blurb accompanying the video is intentionally designed to mislead consumers by claiming to offer classic animated features in their entirety. Save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Collection of "Patriotic Cartoons", July 9, 2003
By 
This review is from: Cartoons Go to War [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a fascinating documentary. It looks at how a series of cartoons were created to deal with World War 2 and the fight against facism. When the government delves into such activities, it can often be described as propaganda geared towards chilren (the Nazis also created pro-war programs directed at children, and certainly Saddam Hussein has done similar things) Of course, here, the issue U.S. of involvement in World War II was pretty cut and dry, and there weren't any real "moral questions" about entering the war.

So - this documentary looks at how Chuck Jones, Walt Disney and others were recruited by the government to create animated shorts to present World War 2 to America's youth.
