Through a combination of content analysis, historical understanding and archival research, this book sheds new light on a hitherto unexplored area of animation, suggesting the ways in which Disney and Warner Brothers animation engaged with historical, social, economic and political changes in this era. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also traces the development of animation into a medium fit for propaganda in 1941 and the changes in characters, tone, music and narrative that took place to facilitate this transition. Animation transformed in this era from a medium of entertainment, to a socio-political commentator before finally undertaking government sponsored propaganda during the Second World War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tracey Mollet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501351966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501351969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Tracey Mollet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985962533119,"sku":"9781501351969","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1eb9e33-dca5-4e96-83a7-980a94648b62.jpg?v=1683280563","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cartoons-in-hard-times-tracey-mollet-9781501351969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
