From a time when cartoons still had hair on their chests... WWII Propaganda Cartoons. I know it's a little warped, but I love these. Nothing like marketing a little war mongering and racism to the kids. My favorite one is a Donald Duck toon, "The Spirit," which has the endearing message that we should all work hard so that we can pay more taxes in order to drop more bombs on Germans. And check out this one on how children become nazis. The imagery towards the end showing the bible turning into Mein Kampf and a crucifix morphing into a Nazi dagger is especially fun.
