Seminar 4: Politics and propaganda

in this seminar we were told about the use of animation for politics and propaganda, we were shown examples such as Disney in the 1940s and the Sinking of the Lusitania in 1918. Animation had been around before this time but it was only used to advertise products rather than world views and opinions. The most successful animations are the funny ones, the ones that made light of hitler and made fun of him despite the fact he was killing thousands of people daily.
