Nazi Cartoons by Disney
Myspace Video Review
However you may be misled to think that this means the cartoon is 'Pro Nazi'. Isn't is interesting how if anyone mentions the word Nazi, or displays the swastika, it is automatically taken as a 'pro nazi' action? It would appear that Hitler and his army of brainwashed soldiers are almost forbidden to be discussed. Is it another controversial topic we should handle as if it never happened?
Would it shock you that this video was banned by the media in the 1940s? How far has our censorship gone, comparing what we view now of the war we are in and what was not allowed then?
In any case, an educational video about Nazis is nothing you would expect from the creator of loveable character Mickey Mouse. However, this cartoon really does not cause any doubt that Walt Disney is the creator.
In one brief clip, we see what German children were taught as the story of Sleeping Beauty, and their version was quite different from the Sleeping Beauty we all know as Disney's Sleeping Beauty. (Although the drawing of the wicked witch was very similar to the witch in Disney's Snow White.)
In Hitler's time, the wicked witch represented democracy, Sleeping Beauty represented (a very large unattractive princess) Germany and Prince 'Charming' represents (an even farther from attractive and anything but charming) Adolf Hitler.
This teaches us all the difference between the nursery rhymes we tell our children, and what they meant to German children that were raised to be Nazis.
The Disney cartoon teaches us that these German children were brainwashed, beginning at very early ages, and trained to be a strong army... a ferocious wolf that preys on small, weak, defenseless animals like rabbits because they are pitiful.
Disney's "Hitler's Children" is far from 'pro Nazi' if that's what you were expecting. However, it is an educational video where you may learn a thing or two you didn't know, and it is definitely a Disney cartoon.
After watching the first video, there is a second video about the Nazis, that shows Walt Disney's true opinion on Hitler and his reign. If you were unable to pick up an opinion through "Hitler's Children", let Donald Duck show you what Disney thought of Hitler in the 1940's.

hiae, that was, like you said, before the war. He did like Hitler before the war but thought of him as a bad person during the war. If you haven't noticed, HE DID approve of these cartoons in which he wouldn't have if he still liked Hitler.
w. disney actually attended PRO- nazi meetings held at the workplace before america's involvement in wwii. in the end, it seems silly to conflate the views of an individual in charge of a studio with the views of that studio; disney was slangin' cartoons, and if his personal opinions became unfashionable his cartoons could not.
