This is an Academy Award nominated cartoon from 1943. It contrasts making decisions via reason or via emotion. It really describes how the GOP uses fear and other negative emotions to get people riled up to support them.

Yes, it does talk a lot about Hitler, but I'm not trying to invoke Godwin's law.

Just make your own inferences.

5. Surprised Disney has their name on it
I would have expected them to buy up all copies and make it officially "lost", since reason doesn't really suit their marketing strategy.

6. Well, it was nominated for an Oscar...
So it's kind of hard to conceal.

Then again, 'Song of the South' has been completely hidden for years...
