Walt Disney Treasures - On the Front Lines

[-= Steamboat Willie =-]

Jag hittade denna innehållsförteckning för den nya utgåvan av "Walt Disney
Treasures"
i USA -- "On the Front Lines" -- filmer från andra världskriget.

Att döma av lsitan så är det faktiskt den utgåva som har flest av mig osedda
filmer.
Inte ens "Mickey Mouse - Black and White years Colume 1" hade så stor andel
filmer
jag inte sett före utgåvan.

Nåja... Ett paket jag bara *måste* spara ihop pengar till!

FILMS

1943
VICTORY THROUGH AIR POWER - This film was basically propaganda with some
entertainment and some powerful animation. Mainly championed Major
Seversky's 1942 book of the same title with the theory that long-range air
power could defeat the WWII enemies. The scene of an American eagle
attacking the Japanese octopus is very powerful, moving animation.

TRAINING FILMS

1942
FOUR METHODS OF FLUSH RIVETING - basic animation for education
purposes
STOP THAT TANK (BOYS ANTI-TANK RIFLE) - a great deal of live
action but fun, enjoyable animation of Hitler being blown to
Hell by the rifle

1942-1945?
TRAINING FILM MONTAGE - A selection of scenes from various
training films, I assume.

Unless Disney is counting the training film montage as a short, All Together
Now is listed twice in the review above, so there is one short missing to
count as the 32 shorts advertised.

There are a few war-related entertainment shorts not listed here - one of
which might be the missing short.

1943
DONALD'S TIRE TROUBLE - most likely short. Donald has continue
trouble with flat tires due to the wartime shortage of rubber.
PLUTO AND THE ARMADILLO - small connection to the wartime. Short
releated to the Latin Armerica trip and the Saludos Amigos and
The Three Caballeros films developed from that trip.

1944
THE PELICAN AND THE SNIPE - same info as for Pluto and the Armadillo.

1945
DOG WATCH - Pluto is a watchdog for a Navy ship.
