So, as I mentioned below, yesterday was Jean-Luc Godard’s 78th birthday and now today is the 108th birthday of a very different and, like it or not, even more influential cinema visionary: Walt Disney. As I’m sure Godard would agree, among other things, Disney was a master propagandist and this Word War II era anti-Nazi cartoon is a striking piece of work indeed and, as things sadly turned out, ony a little bit exaggerated.

And here’s a far more effective piece of propaganda that crosses the line into hilarious art. The Oscar winning “Der Fuhrer’s Face.”
