Wartime Cartoon: Difference between revisions

Line 81:
* Similarly, in ''One Meat Brawl'', a groundhog emerges from his hole on Groundhog Day and is immediately fired on by a pack of hunters. Retreating to safety, he blames it on "meat shortages". The cartoon debuted post-WWII (1947), but rationing was sill fresh enough in the public mind to be played as a gag.
* Frank Tashlin's ''Plane Daffy'' stars the duck in a squadron of carrier pigeons. As the resident woman-hater, he's sent out to deliver an important message without being seduced by Nazi spy [[Mata Hari|Hatta Mari]], who's managed to claim 28 of the previous pigeons.
* ''[[Any Bonds Today?]]'' was a 1942 [[Propaganda Piece|propaganda film]] commissioned by the United States Department of the Treasury to Warner Bros., featuring Bugs, Elmer and Porky singing and dancing to promote war bonds. It would later be [[Overshadowed by Controversy]], and is known more for its [[Values Dissonance]] in the form of Bugs Bunny donning blackface.
* There's also the short musical commercial colloquially titled, ''Any Bonds Today'', where Bugs, Elmer and Porky sing and dance to promote war bonds.
