These slew of films are known as The Wartime Era since they came out during World War II when the European market was very low. In addition, the Walt Disney Animation Studio was going through a strike to unionize their workers with better pay and benefits. Many Disney fans consider this era one of, if not, the worst of the Disney eras. What did Patricia and Chris think of the films?

Verwacht je de komende weken aan enkele speciale afleveringen over bijzondere Disneyfilm. Te beginnen met een marathon van alle Disney Klassiekers die werden uitgebracht in de jaren 1940. Geen hoogvliegers. Nooit uitgebracht in Europa. En door mij bewust overgeslagen in het begin van deze reeks. Daarom: nu alle zes in één keer. Van ‘Saludos Amigos' tot ‘The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad'. Ik bespreek ze opnieuw met pineut van dienst: mijn beste vriend Jelle Goossens (Belpop Control). We hebben het over een geile Donald Duck, de vrouwelijke André Brasseur en goedkope geopolitiek. Over body- en fatshaming. Bear fatshaming. Dat affectie tonen bij beren blijkbaar gepaard gaat met het vergoelijken van huislijk geweld. We komen te weten waar de kwalijke basis ligt van ‘Cars' en ‘Planes'. En we roepen twee keer een hulplijn in: die van Helmut Lotti en Amelie Albrecht. Aan het einde zijn we mentaal leeg. Maar rijker als mens, uiteraard!

And Disney's not doing so hot...the bank doesn't even want to lend him more money!! But in this, there came a few "feature" films that fell into slight obscurity. Hang with Jess and Jenae as they talk about some films they hadn't seen before, the cultural impact of this rather silent era.

On this episode of Whose Filmography is it Anyway? Josh and Steven conclude the Disney Wartime era with Melody Time (1948) and the Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949). World War II has ended and all of Walt's animators are returning home. In order to get back to the glory days of feature film animation money needed to be raised. From that quest these two movies were born. Similar to last week these films are not widely known, but their images are iconic. Melody Time has a more Jazzy approach to Fantasia. While most have heard or been on Mr Toad's Wild Ride in Disneyland. And the images of the Headless Horsemen that pops into ones head is most likely the Disney version. Join Josh and Steven on the last Disney animated film of the era.

We tend to understand the modernization of Japan as a story of its rise as a techno-superpower. In East Asia: Technology, Ideology, and Empire in Japan’s Wartime Era, 1931-1945 (Stanford University Press, 2013), Aaron Stephen Moore critiques this account in a study of the relationship between technology and power in the context of Japanese fascism and imperialism. Moore traces the emergence of a “technological imaginary” in wartime Japan, exploring how different groups (including intellectuals, technology bureaucrats, engineers, and state planners) invested the term “technology” with ideological meaning and power in the course of discussing and shaping national policy. Paying careful attention to the ways that technological and colonial development co-produced and challenged each other, Moore’s story respects the archives of both text and practice: the book deeply cuts into into the intellectual history of technology in the context of Japanese empire, while also following the activities, material difficulties, and large-scale products of many thousands of engineers as they traveled to Korea, Taiwan, Manchukuo, and China to build roads, canals, ports, dams, cities, irrigation, sewage and water works, and electrical and communications networks. It is a fascinating case study that informs a larger global historiography of the modern technosciences, while also using the social study of technology to extend the historiography of Japanese empire.
