Morley Safer, famed war correspondent and investigative journalist of the "60 Minutes" news magazine television show, said during his historic 1976 interview of Iva Toguri (mistakenly labeled "Tokyo Rose") that World War II America was a time "when it was alright to be racist about your enemy". Few things illustrate this better than the propaganda cartoons of that era. This video document shows just how far our nation has moved away from the racial and ethnic stereotyping used against America's enemies, and even her own citizens, in the past.

World War II And American Animation: World War II changed the possibilities for animation. Prior to the war, animation was mostly seen as a form of family entertainment. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a turning point in its utility. On December 8, 1941, the U.S. Army began working with Walt Disney at his studio, stationing Military personnel there for the duration of the war. The Army and Disney set about making various types of films for several different audiences. Most films meant for the public included some type of propaganda, while films for the troops included training and education about a given topic. Films intended for the public were often meant to build morale. They allowed Americans to release their anger and frustration through ridicule and crude humor. Many films simply reflected the war culture and were pure entertainment. Others carried strong messages meant to arouse public involvement or set a public mood.
World War II Propaganda Films spread and promote certain ideas that are usually religious, political, or cultural in nature. A propaganda film is made with the intent that the viewer will adopt the position promoted by the propagator and eventually take action towards making those ideas widely accepted.
