Make Mine Freedom (1948)
The artistic stylings of this film...
It lists here that Bill Hanna and Joe Barbara directed this film, but the style of the character designs and even the animation itself are very different from what is seen in H/B MGM shorts from this period. It would appear to me that the labor of actually creating this film was farmed out to other studios, and perhaps was even freelanced. The principle characters in it (the four representatives of labor, industrial management, public service, and agriculture, John Q. Public, and the snake oil salesman) appear to have been designed by Friz Freling's staff at Warner Brothers (he directed several capitalist-inspired shorts himself), while some of the secondary scenes appear to have been designed by Fred Moore, who may have been working for Walter Lantz Productions at the time (he also did a lot of animation for Walt Disney Productions).
