Disney won an Academy Award for an anti-Nazi cartoon

Der Fuehrer’s face or Donald Duck in Nutzi Land is an American animated propaganda short film, created in 1943 produced by Walt Disney Productions.

The cartoon shows Donald Duck working at a Nazi factory in Nazi Germany, showing loyalty to Adolph Hitler and showing a “typical” day in the life of a Nazi back in the days. At the end you can see Donald Duck waking up from his nightmare dressed with a pajama of the American Flag and showing off how proud he is for being an American.

And as funny as it might sound, Der Feuherer’s Face won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 15th Academy Awards. It was also voted as the number 22 of “the 50 greatest cartoons” in 1994 by members of the animation film.  Watch Video
