Walt Disney’s P

 Kleanthis Sotiriou
World War I and World War II
 “The cartoons are object lessons in the actuality of alienation.
    Disney’s cartoon world is a world of impoverished experience,
    sadism and violence. That is to say, it our world. “ (Leslie,2001).

   In the period of World War I and World War II (1942 and 1945,),
    Walt Disney was involved for the creation of propaganda for the
    US military and government purposes.

 The government looked to Walt Disney more than any other
    studio chief as a builder of public morale providing instruction
    and training to the sailors and soldiers for Propaganda purposes.
    Disney was asked to create animation for a series of pictures
    produced by Colonel Frank Capra for the US Army for
    persuading to influence more people to get involved in case to
    succeed their purpose.
90% of Disney employees
 "This was accomplished through the use of animated graphics by
  means of expediting the intelligent mobilization of servicemen and
  civilians for the cause of the war. “

 This is a quotation that should have in mind : More or less 90% of
  Disney employees were devoted for the production of training and
  propaganda films for the government purposes.

 The target that Walt Disney company had was to support every
  American soldier to keep fighting against Hitler by projecting
  propaganda threw their films and make the nation fearless against
  their enemies.

 Most of Disney’s characters such as: Donald Duck and Mickey
  Mouse weren't just for entertainment, Those characters were for
  propaganda purposes and for the education of the Americans about
  the enemies they had.
Fuehrer’s Face

 The animators were hired to make hidden
 symbols for military units and equipment. The
 Fuehrer’s Face was a short time movie which
 Donald Duck was the main character and won an
 Oscar in 1942 for best short film.” (Leslie, 2001).
 It was released on January 1, 1943 from the
 director Jack Kinney as an anti-Nazi propaganda
 movie for the American war effort.
Lyrics
“When der Fuehrer says, "We is t der master race, "We
 HEIL! (honk!) HEIL! (honk!) right in der Fuehrer's face!

Not to love der Fuehrer is a great disgrace, So we HEIL!
     (honk!) HEIL! (honk!) right in der Fuehrer's face!

  When Herr Goebbels says, "We own der world und
  space, "We HEIL! (honk!) HEIL! (honk!) right in Herr
                   Goebbels' face!

When Herr Goering says, "They'll never bomb dis place
     ,"We HEIL! [honk!] HEIL! (honk!) right in Herr
                   Goering's face!”
Donald Duck’s nightmare
 The previews Lyrics are from the song that was
 dropped into the scene when, Donald Duck’s
 nightmare finds himself part of the German Nazi
 force.

 The band plays a song of Mein Kampf in front of him
 for a moment of reading, then he goes into his house,
 carrying the bass drum, and escorts him to a factory
 which he is forced to work, he was forced to work 48-
 hour shifts, getting a couple of seconds 'vacation'
 (with a backdrop background of the Alp mountains) by
 having a salute to the Hitler's portrait every time it
 goes by. He shouts loud out of cry "Heil Hitler!" As he
 put’s up his right arm in the Nazi salute by wearing a
 swastika armband like everybody else in Hitler's
 "Nazi Land."
Donald Duck suddenly wakes
 Donald Duck is hiding some supplements because
 there is nothing to eat and and he is hiding to have
 secretly a breakfast by the moment that he wakes up
 from his bed because is very strictly in such Nazi
 Policy. Imagine that the rooster outside his house
 greets the day with a hearty crow of "Heil Hitler” trying
 to make you obey in the Nazi Forces.

 When Donald Duck suddenly wakes up because it
 was only a dream because he discovers that it was
 just a nightmare , he is actually lying in his bed
 wearing his pajamas. His Slogan that follows was :
 "Oh boy, am I glad to be a citizen of the United States
 of America!”. Then the movie ends with a tomato
 splash in Hitler’s face!.
The target of Military
 This was one of the propaganda examples that
 Walt Disney's studios released. Disney’s
 characters like Donald, Mickey Mouse and Pluto
 became standard figures in the American war
 machine against all the America’s enemies.

 In December 1941,members of the United States
 Government were involved by paying Disney for
 creating Propaganda. The target of Military was to
 transform the studios material (cartoon films) into
 a defensive mechanism that would be used to
 help protect their nation against their enemy.
Mickey Mouse on the Home
Front.
 The United States Secretary Henry Morgenthau
 Jr, Secretary share a profit of the money for
 industrializing Germany once it had been
 conquered. In those years cartoon films were not
 only for the children. Most of American
 population were going to the movies every week
 and they were huge fans of Disney’s characters.

 During the war period ( World war I and II )Disney
 had the greatest success of their time. Walt
 Disney during that time they released comic
 books from the Disney’s favorite characters such
 as Mickey in the comic book "Mickey Mouse on
 the Home Front.
Nazi Forces
 All of Disney's characters had now been
 mobilized, fought the Axis powers (Nazi Forces)
 in Disney's "Volunteer Army." for propaganda
 purposes to encourage the American soldiers
 and the rest from the United State citizens for
 keep fighting. Comic books and short Films were
 the powerful weapon for confidence.

 Their aim was to make the enemy look funny and
 ridiculous by parallel giving the pleasure to the
 audiences to laugh for a while, by forgetting their
 daily routine and exclude their fear Walt Disney
 gave America courage.
In the 1942-43 Disney
 In 1943 The “Education for Death” appeared in
 movie theaters. Disney provided some political
 aspects and also education for Americans at
 home and for soldiers who were on the front too.
 The general feeling of this movie was more
 serious, and it didn't include characters like
 Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse.

 However the impressive images that they use to
 describe how children in Nazi Germany were
 raised how to hate and also participate in the war
 effort and how little blonde Hans' purpose in life
 was to die on the front line. In the 1942 Disney
 was even involved in the Military purposes.
“Who's the leader of the club
 Walt Disney's artists designed even emblems for
  American troop units for tanks, bombers and ships.
  Many soldiers and airmen decorated their tanks and
  fighters themselves with Mickey’s, Donald’s and
  Pluto’s by making with this way Disney’s character’s
  as their country emblems.

 These symbols became American way of life,
  Democracy and Freedom, of everything that was at
  stake. A clear example of that was "Mickey Mouse” in
  Stanley’s Kubrick’s movie “Full metal jacket” in the
  end of the movie when the Marines move out while
  they walk they all sing the Mickey Mouse song.

 “Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and
  me? Mickey Mouse!!”. Disney’s figures became an
  Americas idols and Symbols.
Americas idols and Symbols.

 “Education for Death: The Making of the Nazi” is
 an animated short film produced by Walt Disney
 and released on January 15, 1943, by the director
 Clyde Geronimi and basically animated by Ward
 Kimball.
First scene of the film

 Basically is a story about a German boy named
  Hans, who was raised in Nazi Germany, and his
  only purpose of birth is to be a German soldier
  and to fight and die for his country.
 At the first scene of the film is when a German
  couple goes to Nazi supreme judge to approve
  the name for their son because it has to be
  approved first whom they want to name him
  Hans into the service of Adolf Hitler. On the
  Court’s wall there was a “verboten” name list
  which meant that you could not give a name to
  your child which was on the list.
Education for Death

 Finally the name was approved because luckily it
 was not appeared on that list. The judge gives
 them a copy of the “Mein Kampf “ for their service
 to Hitler. In Education for Death (1943),In the
 following scene it’s a parody of Sleeping Beauty,
 Sleeping beauty is a fat blonde girl who holds a
 pint of bear which is symbolize Germany . She is
 been trapped from the bad which is Democracy,
 and the Knight (Hitler) comes to rescue her.
Hitler’s services

 The next scene cameraman follows Hans who
 sick in his bed. His mother prays for him, knowing
 it’s a matter of time before the Nazi authorities
 come and take him away from her because he
 had to go back in Hitler’s services, in the mean
 time a Nazi officer bangs heavily the door and tell
 his mother that he has to take Hans away, his
 mother refuse and tries to explain to him that he
 is sick and needs care.
The teacher asks the class
 The officer insists and tell hers that the orders he
 has are to heal her son quickly and have him
 ready to leave, implying if Hans does not get well.
 At the end Hans eventually recovers he is ready
 to go back to school. At the school the teacher
 draws a cartoon on the blackboard of a rabbit
 being eaten by a fox, The teacher asks the class
 what was the meaning of that drawing and Hans
 without hesitating he says : “ Poor Rabbit”.
 Teacher is over reacting about his answer and
 orders Hans to sit in the corner as a way of
 punishment, forcing him to be away from his rest
 of his classmates.
The education... for death

 The teacher still insist and he is seeking for the
 right answer. Hans Classmate stands up and
 says: “The World belongs to the strong”. Exactly
 the teacher says ”weakness has no place in a
 soldier" and "the strong shall rule the weak". In
 the end, Hans and the rest of the soldiers march
 off to war only to fade into rows of graves. Thus
 Hans's education is complete. "The education...
 for death."
Conclusion
 From these cartoons Disney manage with these way to
  influence of public opinions successfully. The whole idea is
  that there are things that are not so innocent at it looks
  like. Imagine that the cartoon movies can be a serious
  issue because the viewers besides adults were kids. The
  adult let’s say can not be easily influenced as a kid. “From
  those pictures that you made, have you any opinion as to
  whether or not the films can be used effectively to
  disseminate propaganda? Disney said yes. And he
  observed that a Gallup poll had found that people had
  been influenced by the Treasury film to pay their taxes
  early.“(Leslie,2001).

 Controlling people’s thoughts through images is a very
  powerful weapon. There is a big danger when this weapon
  is used for a bad purpose. You can use a knife to slice up
  your dinner, but with the same knife you can stab someone
