Cartoons e propaganda política

Abstract

The cartoon’s films in general are recognized by expressing the rapid pace of entertainment, escapist and naive. However, considering the media’s social history it’s just watch out to realize that their film content are also vehicles of ideological spreads capable of forming views of the world and lifestyle. But not always these ideological propagandas were sublimated. A good example was the Good Neighbor Policy contract by the U.S. government in 1940, in order to align and bring the nations below the Rio Grande to their domestic war effort. This exchange campaign, coordinated by the studios of Walt Disney, resulted in a series of animated films whose thematic precedence for all kinds of insults followed from different forms of contempt for the political powers of the European Axis (Italy, Germany and Japan).
