Cold War Era: Cartoon Chronicles DVD: Cold War Era Cartoon Chronicles DVD |
| Product Description : Americans often associate the post World War II period with a series of powerful cultural symbols: the "American Dream" meant a home in the suburbs, job security in a large corporation, and a new car every few years. Other symbols that spelt success were Marilyn Monroe, and television. This rare and amazing collection of animated features all center around one theme - America's pursuit of materialism in the 1950s. Amazingly, this DVD has five titles all produced by the master cartoon film maker- John Sutherland. It is interesting that Sutherland chose to make these films at a time when the cold war was just heating up. It was also a time when America was trying to woo east block countries to its side by portraying a life style, prosperity and free enterprise they could never dream of under the soviet regime. The times also reflect the resurgence of the United States as powerful and wealthy nation. Clever humor camouflages a very serious message - communism is dangerous, capitalism is what you need. Going Places, the first of five animated films you will see defends capitalism. Make Mine Freedom is another humorous defense of capitalism. Meet Joe king is the story about Joe, the king of workers who enjoys benefits far beyond the reach of workers anywhere else in the world. |
