(1h)
Exhibits
Starts Mar 12, 2026 at 6:00pm Ends Mar 12, 2026 at 7:00pm Throughout World War II, both Allied and Axis powers created propaganda posters, advertisements, and films designed to rally domestic support and vilify the enemy. Walt Disney Pictures produced scores of theatrical cartoons as well as hundreds of training films for the U.S. Army, Navy, and other U.S. government departments. Some shorts reimagined beloved Disney characters in patriotic roles, while others depicted the schemes of the villainous Nazis. A 32-year veteran of The Walt Disney Company, award-winning artist, filmmaker, and author David A. Bossert joins us to recount how Disney used entertainment to promote the war effort, becoming a powerful force in the fight to win the war. Click for more info
