Donald Duck

How are the Germans (and Japanese) portrayed in the opening sequence? How is irony created?
The German soldiers (and Japanese) are portrayed in a humorous way. The irony is the song that they are singing throughout the clip compared to what they look like

How is propaganda and the effect of propaganda portrayed with the introduction of Donald Duck?
Everything is hailing throughout the video. The clip is Ubiquitousness and pervasive  

How is irony continued into the breakfast scene? 
Its ironic how the bread is like wood, and has the aroma of bacon and eggs because it fits within all the Jewish people within the concentration camps as opposed to the Guards who are mostly big and tall (well feed)


How is Nazi Germany portrayed in the opening shot at 3:30? 
It looks like hell. The colours red and black make Germany look very dark

What is ironic about the song lyrics regarding work and what is happening in the scene?
It says that they will never be like slaves even though Donald Duck is working as a slave

What does the conveyor belt portray regarding the lifestyle of Germans? 
All about military and all about Hitler

Why do you think that there aren't actually any people that force Donald to work? 
Because the bayonets provide the forcefulness side as well as a speaker

What is ironic about the vacation? 
Its not really a vacation and he has to work

In the dream sequence, how are the Germans portrayed? Why? Fat, skinny and lazy, and they all like Hitler
They are portrayed as weapons which represents they are murderers

What do the pajamas when we see Donald in his bed tell us?That he's an American and everyone wears 
He is an American Citizen

What is the Statue of Liberty used to convey? 
It makes him free

How is Hilter portrayed at the end of the film? What is it about his face that is important?
He portrayed as important figure and angry, serious person as seen through the way his face is straight.

Why is this a representation of propaganda? Why is it actually ironic considering the way the Nazi's are portrayed?
It is ironic because the Nazis are seen as serious and stern and this makes mockery of Hitler and by making his facial features small it makes light of his position.

Who are the villains, victims, and heroes?
Villains: The Germans 
Victims: Donald Duck 
Hero: The Americans

How are they portrayed?
The Germans are made fun of, the victim as a comedic character and the Hero as mighty and superior.
