    Default Dark, disturbing, and not wholly inaccurate piece of 30's-ear Soviet Propaganda



    This is pretty troubling. Great work, though.

    That was dark and there was far too much truth to it back then.

    Wow, that was incredibly well done propaganda. Pretty good just as a disturbing little cartoon, too.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    That was awesome. In a horribly depressing sort of way.

    We have a channel called Sky Arts that shows Soviet Propaganda, although it tends to be from the 1960s and '70s usually. There were some interesting and fantastic animators working out beyond the Iron Curtain in that era. It's interesting (to me) to compare and contrast the last one Oliveloaf posted with this one by Disney:

    For a more lighthearted take on propaganda, here's some funny syphilis from the Navy:

    This is horrible and yet almost beautiful in its awfulness. Really well done propoganda.

    I've only watched the first video posted, but in its own way it was as beautiful as it was bleak. Whoever put it together was tremendously talented.

    But I'm puzzled about the ear - WHERE IS THE EAR?

    I've seen these before, but I'll be honest: my first thought was, "They made an animated series based on The Pacific?!?"
