History

In 1941, after the sudden attack on Pearl Harbor, The United States Army moved into the Walt Disney Studio and demanded WWII propaganda films, which told the general public about the strength of the US army, the terribleness of the Nazis and how people staying at home could help in the war effort. Some of the most popular shorts released during this time in Disney history were Reason and Emotion and Education for Death, among others.
