In time of war, it's typical,
sometimes even useful,
to demonize your enemy.
We still see this today,
whenever a dictator or despot
comes to power anywhere in the world.
Caricatures and jokes,
not always in the best of taste,
rise to the forefront because it's our way
of relieving aggression.
So it was in World War ll.
Some people feared Adolf Hitler.
Others mocked him.
The Disney staff came up with the idea for
a cartoon to be titled,
Donald Duck in Nutzi Land.
Giving the All-American duck a nightmare
that he was living
in a country run by Nazis.
The title changed when a song
written for the cartoon
by Oliver Wallace became a runaway hit,
in a now classic recording
by Spike Jones.
It then became essential
to change the name of the cartoon
to Der Fuehrer's Face.
It's easy to see
why the film was so popular.
It's very, very funny.
Reducing the serious tenets
of Hitler's Nazism
to slapstick absurdities.
And it gave audiences a chance to think,
as Donald does, about the freedoms
they might have taken for granted.
Am I glad to be a citizen
of the United States of America!
Der Fuehrer's Face, directed
by Jack Kinney, won the Academy Award
as Best Animated Short Subject of 1943.
