During the war, animation became an essential tool in the United States, and it was utilized for propaganda reasons, such as educating the general public about the war or portraying the enemy in a “xenophobic” manner. Hilter is the adversary shown in Bury the Axis; his drawing approach was dirtier in the face, and he moved in a marching manner. The footage shows four geese following his lead in the same marching pattern, but in the next scene, only one goose follows him. Making the audience believe that if they disobeyed him or disagreed with him, they would be killed. The animation of Momotar no Umiwashi is a complete black and white reconstruction of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The characters from America were designed to be more immature and dumb. Japanese characters, on the other hand, were more responsible and worked together. Both films used these animations to implicitly convey certain stereotypes about the enemy in order for civilians to have the same perception of them.
