Der Fuehrer's Face, Walt Disney, producer.
Donald Duck has a nightmare in which he's a citizen of "Nutzi Land," forced to work in a munitions factory and to continually salute pictures of Adolf Hitler. The only Donald Duck cartoon to win an Oscar, it was withdrawn from circulation after World War II, and not released on video until 2004.
(One-Reel)
Speaking of Animals and Their Families, Paramount.
The "Speaking of Animals" series was conceived by Warner Bros. animator Tex Avery as a series of comedy shorts combining live action and animation in which animals would appear to talk. Avery was unable to persuade Leon Schlesinger, the Warner Bros. cartoon producer, to develop the series, so he took it to Jerry Fairbanks, a producer of short subjects at Paramount. Avery worked on the first three before leaving Paramount for MGM.
