In time of war, it's typical, sometimes [br]even useful,
0:00:06.503,0:00:08.467
to demonize your enemy.
0:00:08.467,0:00:09.930
We still see this today, whenever a [br]dictator or
0:00:09.930,0:00:13.189
despot comes to power anywhere [br]in the world.
0:00:13.189,0:00:16.357
Caricatures and jokes, not always in [br]the best of taste,
0:00:16.357,0:00:20.041
rise to the forefront because it's our [br]way of relieving aggression.
0:00:20.041,0:00:22.258
So it was in WWII.
0:00:22.258,0:00:25.904
Some people feared Adolf Hitler; others[br]mocked him.
0:00:25.904,0:00:29.304
The Disney staff came up with the idea [br]for a cartoon to be titled,
0:00:29.304,0:00:33.328
"Donald Duck in Nazi-Land," giving the [br]all-American duck a nightmare
0:00:33.328,0:00:36.162
that he was living in a country run by Nazis.
0:00:36.162,0:00:39.855
The title changed, when a song written [br]for the cartoon by Oliver Wallace,
0:00:39.855,0:00:44.370
became a runaway hit In a now-classic [br]recording by Spike Jones.
0:00:44.370,0:00:47.358
It then became essential to change [br]the name of the cartoon to,
0:00:47.358,0:00:48.917
"Der Fuehrer's Face."
0:00:48.917,0:00:51.596
It's easy to see why the film [br]was so popular -
0:00:51.596,0:00:53.796
It's very, very funny
0:00:53.796,0:00:58.296
reducing the serious [br]tenets of Hitler's Naziism to slapstick absurdities.
0:00:58.296,0:01:01.960
And, it gave audiences a chance to think, [br]as Donald does, about
0:01:01.960,0:01:04.471
the freedoms they might have [br]taken for granted.
0:01:04.601,0:01:10.197
[Donald] "Am I glad to be a citizen [br]of the United States of America!"
0:01:10.197,0:01:14.423
Der Fuehrer's Face, directed by [br]Jack Kinney, won the Academy Award
0:01:14.423,0:01:21.648
as "best animated short subject [br]of 1943."
