Donald the Nazi
18 February 2000
This short was to be originally entitled "Donald Duck in Nutziland", but since the guy who sings the theme for it did such a good job, they changed the title. I have never seen this short because it isn't shown on the Disney Channel or Toon Disney and hasn't been released on video or laserdisc thanks to the Disney Company. In the short, Donald has a nightmare that he is being forced to make bombs in a Nazi ammunition factory and salute Hitler. I read in a book called "The Art of Walt Disney" that at the end of the cartoon, Donald awakens and sees a shadow of a miniature Statue of Liberty on his window sill and says "Oh boy, am I proud to be an American citizen." Then a caricature of Hitler appears on screen and a tomato is thrown at him spelling out "THE END." I bet the people who saw this film when it was released thought that it was one of the most hilarious uses in making fun of Hitler. After all who wouldn't? Hitler was a very wicked man and deserved to be made fun of. I bet if Walt Disney were still alive, he would be pretty mad at the Disney Compnay for banning this short from TV.
