Trivia

Showbiz Goes to War (1982) states that Hollywood Second World War propaganda movies made sure that audiences knew who the enemy was, often portraying them as cruel and heartless, designed to to promote hate of the enemy. This included racial caricatures, especially in cartoons which were a prime example of the ethnic put-down.
