Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The quality is not terrific and there are problems--and this stuff is in the public domain. However, this is about the only way to get this material and it is of considerable interest for animators and cultural historians.
Before DVD people didn't "restore" films much and before DVD and video tape (an era I remember too well) access to just about everything was limited to the point of just not there for you. We've gotten a bit spoiled and our expectations on media material are way too high; unrealistic even. If this material was restored the DVD would cost an exorbitant amount of money and probably wouldn't exist--restoration is expensive. One of my favorite East German science fiction films was restored by the University of Massachusetts German language department and offered for educational sale only for $150--it was the only way they could justify the expense.

See Some Of The Best Cold War Propaganda Animated Advertisements Ever Created! Put Yourself Back In Time To The "Us Or Them" Attitude Of The 1950s!This DVD is an incredible journey back in time to the Golden Age Of Capitalism. World War II had just been won, but America felt it was facing a new enemy – creeping communism. Any student of political history, advertising or film history needs to own the History Of Advertising: Animation 1950-1960 DVD!One of the most astonishing things about these animated advertising shorts is that not all of them were produced by the government. Many were produced by corporations – yet they still push the same message as federal propaganda films. Imagine big corporations pushing political agendas today! It just wouldn’t happen. These films are a fascinating lesson in how industry and government worked together to create the worship of money and productivity!
