These W.W.-II Propaganda cartoons are really interesting to me because of the history behind them; and a look on the War Years. I have a few Propaganda favorites from Disney, but this short is my favorite from MGM.
Well to the the nitty-gritty: "Blitz Wolf" is one of Avery's masterpieces, a wild satire of Adolf Hitler, disguised as the story of three little pigs. Fred Quimby allegedly told Avery to be careful when caricaturing Adolf Hitler, saying, "After all, we don't know who's going to win the war!" The short was a great success, and received a nomination for Academy Award (one of Avery's six nominations). It lost to another excellent WWII propaganda cartoon, Walt Disney's "Der Fuehrer's Face" starring Donald Duck.
This short is also the first short Tex Avery directed; and a first voice-acting role for Bill Thompson (Adolf Wolf).
