- This book was based on research conducted between 2010 and 2013. The monograph uses a combination of archival research, visual analysis and contextual scholarship to draw conclusions about the ideological content of Disney and Warner Brothers’ short subject animation between the years 1932 and 1945. It provides a comprehensive overview of the narratives, animators and historical context of the two major studios in Hollywood’s animation industry during one of the most turbulent periods of the twentieth century.
