220px-Derfuehrersfaceposter.JPG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Fuehrer%27s_Face

Some additional context

7 December 1941: The USA wages war on Germany, after the attack of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese

8 December 1941: Walt Disney studios are requisitioned by the government to stock anti-aircraft equipments.

The Disney studios also participated in the war effort by producing propaganda films which aimed at conveying different messages to Americans (for instance, the need to help co-finance the war by buying war bonds, to save fuel for tanks and military vehicles, or tips on how to win a war against the enemy)

Der Fuehrer's Face

Director: Jack Kinney

Song writer: Oliver Wallace

Release date: 1 January 1943 (America)

Other interesting fact: The film was supposed to be called "Donald in Nutziland" (play on words - the nazi regime makes you "nuts"/crazy). However, the song "Der Fuehrer's Face" was such a success even before the film was released that they decided to change the title for "Der Fuehrer's Face".

It also received the Oscar Academy Award for Animated Short Film in 1943.

Here are the posters studied in class, remember that each group should send me one summary before next Wednesday.

A quick reminder of the questions you have to answer: - What type of propaganda is used? - What for?

- What is depicted on the poster? - How are the elements arranged? What is the effect? - What other elements are used to enhance the message? - What emotions are aroused by this poster? - What audience is this poster designed to appeal to? - What message do you get besides the one that’s printed on the poster?
