Analysis: In “Bury the Axis”, we see what was represented as the Nazi leader, Hitler, and Stalin (If I recall from my history)- working together. I couldn’t understand much from the film. The words I understood most were from other characters, however, Hitler’s sounded jibberish. Was that to influence the audience to believe he only spoke foolishness? To make them think that he was just filled with too much pride but no intelligence behind it? I see that he was defeated twice, middle and in the end when he tried to challenge the United States, Great Britain, China, and Soviet Union. As I went further into the film, I noticed that it humored me to hear Hitler speak- the same way anyone would feel if they heard a madmen yelling random things.
Answer: Hiter is presented as a overly confident individual who speaks nothing but foolery. Its prevalent by how he speaks (Not understandable and quick) and how he is shown (attracting the support of ducks). Stalin or whoever that person is, is being portrayed as a obedient dog that got picked up by Hitler. The animator only shows that whoever follows the two foolish people will lose at their hands. As propaganda back then only emphasized how our country required men to go out and be heroes and etc, we see in this one how the United States is superior in the face of another enemy.We can also see a attempt to solidify the cooperation of other countries. In Momotaro no Uwiwashi, i had to look it up since I couldnt find it. In it, we see that one side (Japan) is represented by animals who are bombing the shit of a American. What I found funny was that they was represented with a small head and a wide body. Furthermore, how they held a beer bottle in the situation of being bombed overhead by a jet. Clearly, both sides make eachother look inferior and dull. They also express themselves as smart and more rational.
