Amazon.co.jp: Walt Disney Treasures - On the Front Lines : DVD

商品の説明

Amazonより

World War II transformed the Disney Studio. Although nearly one-third of the artists had been drafted, production quintupled, up to 95% of it for military and government uses. Some of the films included in On the Front Lines have not been seen since their initial release; others were never shown to the general public. Anticipating the importance of animated training films, Disney produced the studio's first educational film, "Four Methods of Flush Riveting" (1941), using limited animation to train riveters at Lockheed. Decades later, "Four Methods" and the excerpts from military training films remain models of how to present information clearly and concisely.

Many of the wartime entertainment shorts are largely propaganda. Donald's nightmare of working on a Nazi assembly line in "Der Fuehrer's Face" is still hilarious slapstick. The grimmer "Education for Death" and "Chicken Little" have aged less gracefully. Disney's oddest wartime project was Victory Through Air Power (1943), a live action/animation feature based on Major Alex de Seversky's controversial book that called for the adoption of long-range bombers. By the time it was finished, air power was a reality.

Front Lines also includes several health films made for the Office of Inter-American Affairs, and bond-buying shorts for Canada that reuse animation from Snow White and "Three Little Pigs." This collection of genuine rarities is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of animation, the Disney Studio, or America during WWII. (Rated G, suitable for ages 10 and older: violence, ethnic stereotypes, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

An excellent Snapshot of Animation History

2009年9月28日にカナダでレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I stumbled across this DVD set while surfing the web. I have an interest in the history of airpower, so the Disney Seversky film about air power was something I have wanted to see for some time, but it has been unavailable virtually since world war II.

That movie forms the main part of this package, and it was highly interesting from an air power history perspective but I was very pleasantly surprised by the remainder, which consists of a variety of other material produced by the Disney studio during the war. Training films, such as those on the Boys AT Rifle, for example (produced for the Canadian Defence Department), or how to eradicate malaria-carrying mosquitos, are very interesting. There are also pure propaganda films, like "In The Fuhrer's face", which demonstrate the emotional reaction to the Axis threat. Finally, a number of cartoons use the stock Disney characters, Donald, Pluto and so forth, to support the war effort in a number of ways. My favourite invovles the two chipmunks (whose name escapes me, I'm sorry) who use the large cannon guarded by Pluto as a nutcracker.

I say pleasantly surprised because, while I have liked and appreciated Disney's movie features, I have never been a huge fan of the cartoon characters like Goofy, Donald, etc. I'm more of a Warner Brothers fan. But this set was thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining and very interesting into the bargain. Plus, I now know how to dissassemble a Boys AT Rifle:)

What a great set, and well worth the price of admission if you have any interest in animation history, or in the world war II home front.

DIFFICULT BUT CREATIVE ERA FOR DISNEY

2003年10月5日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

The years that the probable contents were released, as well as some info on the various works.
FILMS
1943
VICTORY THROUGH AIR POWER - This film was basically propaganda with some entertainment and some powerful animation. Mainly championed Major Seversky's 1942 book of the same title with the theory that long-range air power could defeat the WWII enemies. The scene of an American eagle attacking the Japanese octopus is very powerful, moving animation.
ENTERTAINMENT/PROPAGANDA SHORTS
1942
DONALD GETS DRAFTED-always enjoyed the idea of Donald reporting to the draft board in his sailor suit.
THE ARMY MASCOT-Pluto schemes to take over the job of a mascot goat, with hilarious results.
THE VANISHING PRIVATE-Donald goes crazy with invisible paint, leading to war with his sergeant Pete, with a perfect, funny ending.
SKY TROOPER-Donald wants to be a pilot, and his sergeant Pete gives him more than Donald bargained for.
1943
DER FUEHRER'S FACE-the famous and infamous cartoon in which Donald dreams he is in Naziland where he is forced to work in a munitions plant.
EDUCATION FOR DEATH-very strong propaganda about Germany's totalitarian state which turns an innocent young boy into a robotic soldier.
PRIVATE PLUTO-Pluto has a war with the chipmunks in guarding the area.
FALL OUT - FALL IN-Donald experiences some of the trials of Army life, such as super-long hikes.
REASON AND EMOTION-entertainment and propaganda used in a story about reason and emotion working together for the war effort, enjoyable animation.
VICTORY VEHICLES-Goofy shows off alternate transportation due to the wartime rubber and gasoline shortage, settling on the pogo stick.
THE OLD ARMY GAME-Sergeant Pete catches Donald sneaking back into base after a late night on the town, leads to a merry chase.
HOME DEFENSE-Donald's nephews conflict with Donald after he sleeps during his duty of watching for enemy attack.
CHICKEN LITTLE-The classic "the sky is falling" story, originally planned to have more wartime references.
1944
HOW TO BE A SAILOR-Goofy's story of the history of sailors, ending with him using himself as a torpedo to sink Japanese ships.
COMMANDO DUCK-Donald is sent on a suicide mission to wipe out an entire Japanese air base, with hilarious results.
EDUCATIONAL SHORTS

THE THRIFTY PIG * - animation from Three Little Pigs cartoon adapted, with the Big Bad Wolf wearing a Nazi hat and armband.
THE SEVEN WISE DWARFS * - animation from Snow White adapted to show dwarfs buying war bonds.
1942
DONALD'S DECISION * - uses animation from 1938 Donald Duck cartoons "Donald's Better Self" and "Self Control" to convince Donald to buy war bonds.
ALL TOGETHER * - uses animation from several sources, including The Band Concert (1935) and Mickey's Amateurs (1937) to show several Disney characters in a parade to sell war bonds.

1946

TRAINING FILMS
1942
FOUR METHODS OF FLUSH RIVETING - basic animation for education purposes
STOP THAT TANK (BOYS ANTI-TANK RIFLE) - a great deal of live action but fun, enjoyable animation of Hitler being blown to Hell by the rifle
1942-1945?
TRAINING FILM MONTAGE - A selection of scenes from various training films, I assume.
There are a few war-related entertainment shorts not listed here - one or more might be added to this collection instead of what is listed above.
1943
DONALD'S TIRE TROUBLE - most likely short. Donald has continual trouble with flat tires due to the wartime shortage of rubber.
PLUTO AND THE ARMADILLO - small connection to the wartime. Short releated to the Latin Armerica trip and the Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros films developed from that trip.
1944
THE PELICAN AND THE SNIPE - same info as for Pluto and the Armadillo.
1945
DOG WATCH - Pluto is a watchdog for a Navy ship.
The war years were a demanding time for the Disney Company. Most of their meager resources were devoted to the war effort. But this era contained a great deal of creative effort that might not have existed if not for the war.
I have seen most of these war works, and I consider them fascinating and among the best of all of Disney's work. I much look forward to owning them on DVD.

Cartoon lover

Well worth the price - but be careful with the kids on this!

2005年2月15日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

As others have so aptly noted, this represents the Disney Studios as it contributed to the WWII effort. Basically, the DVD has three cartoon types - entertainment, educational, and propaganda.

It should be noted that Disney has left these INTACT - there has been no clean-up to remove the racist overtones that were common at the time. The Japanese are protrayed as they commonly were at the time.

The straight cartoons - which make up the bulk of the first DVD - are funny, well animated, and generally safe for somewhat older kids (although the writing in a couple of the cartoons feels strange in that the cartoons end rather suddenly - for some reason it didn't feel right). There is one, however, where Donald Duck belives he has lost the lower half of his torso (actually, he fell into a hole - a gag that has been repeated in other venues like Bugs Bunny). The thing is - he grabs a pistol from Pete, his sargent, and almost commits suicide by holding the gun to his head. NOT for kids! Also, several of the darkest propaganda cartoons - "Der Fuehrer's Face" (based on the song most associated with Spike Jones) and "Education for Death", which talks about Nazi indoctornation (and has a style errily similar to Pinnochio), Chicken Little, along with Reason and Emotion, are included on a separate section called "From the Vault". I would definitely screen from younger kids - they wouldn't understand the humor and messages and would be frightened by the imagery.

The second DVD contains some interesting training films, as well as Victory through Air Power - a Disney feature meant to convince people in the supremacy of bombing a country's means of production as a way of winning the war. Some of the ideas, while valid, were eventually disproved (for example, massed up fleets of bombers capable of fending off fighter aircraft - WWII daylight bombing tried this, with tragic loss.).

One hidden gem - "Defense Against Invasion" - about diseases in the body, and how immunization helps stop disease. The red blood cells are protrayed as little people, and, after immunization, they are armed with guns, tanks, aircraft - you name it! Very WW II, and very fun (although , oddly enough, there is a cast of live action kids who span the ethnic range - certianly a rarity in those days!). I remembered this from elementary school myself, and was tickled beyond belief when I finally saw it again.

My main complaint is Leonard Maltin provides some historical background. Some of it is nice - most I could do without. For example, he said that most people went to the movies in the era primarily to escape. True, but the movies also showed news reels that were the only way to get any kind of visual depiction of the war.

Overall, an excellent DVD - well worth its modest cost. All programs have been restored to their full glory. It is of special interest for anyone who was curious about WWII, and the environment around it.

And you may feel sadness. Walt Disney and the empire he built has seen ups and downs, and he has had his share of controversy - but the man, and the people he surrounded himself with, were artists of the highest order. They are missed.

Victory through animation power

2006年7月22日に英国でレビュー済み

You don't watch "Victory Through Air Power" (disc 2) for its entertainment value. or for it's historical accuracy (did WW1 pilots really throw bricks at each other?) Or for the fact that it makes a completely cogent argument - towards the end of the film, it makes the case that a bomber, bristling with machine guns, carrying a 10 ton bomb load could fly from Alaska to Japan, it doesn't tell us how the bomber would be able to fly back again! You certainly don't watch the film for the annoying pieces to camera of the ex Russian fighter ace presenting his argument in a thick Russian accent. You watch the film for the quality of the annimation - that's why I gave it 4 stars. The Disney artists use a dazling array of graphic devices to illustrate their arguments- from battle ships turning into bombers to fighter planes morphing into aerial bridges. The artwork is just stunning and, given the fact that none of it was computer generated, I don't think it has dated.

Great Collection -- A **Correction** for VICTORY THRU AIR POWER

2005年11月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This is a great DVD set and merits all of the kudos in the other reviews.

I'd like to chime in, however, to point out an error in Leonard Maltin's introduction to the "Behind the Scenes" segment for VICTORY THROUGH AIR POWER.

It is clear if you look carefully, that this behind the scenes footage is from *screen tests* of de Seversky and NOT from the actual production of the film itself.

For one thing, the set is different. The set on the "behind the scenes" footage is clearly a couple of hastily built flats and the suggestion of a window-- exactly the sort of quick and dirty set which would have been built for a screen test.

Secondly, the set decoration is completely different. In the "behind the scenes" footage there is a large trophy cup, for one thing, that does not appear in the final film. In the "behind the scenes" footage there is no window *behind* de Seversky, and the wall treatments are completely different.

Next, if you look at the slates, the cinematographer (seen with light meter) is clearly trying out different lenses and f/stop combinations -- this would not have been done on the actual film itself; those decisions are made during testing.

Also, they are clearly experimenting with the use of the globe (as would have been done in the testing stage, NOT during final shooting).

There are other indications, too....

SO: suffice it to say that this is NOT really "behind the scenes" on VICTORY THROUGH AIR POWER, but is actually behind the scenes of the VICTORY screen test phase.

It's pretty amazing that they got this wrong, but perhaps it takes a filmmaker to actually notice these things. Just thought I'd pass it along.

Of course this is a minor point in such an amazing DVD set. However, since VICTORY THROUGH AIR POWER is one of the most compelling reasons to buy the set (it's really an amazing piece of work, from many perspectives), I thought that VICTORY fans would want to know.

After finally being able to see VICTORY THROUGH AIR POWER, I'm quite a fan of it myself!
