	The True North, Strong and Meek
		Understandably selling a book on Canadian animation to a general audience is a tough task that needs glossy pictures, an easy to read style, a loopy, "cartoony" cover, and proof that we’ve been accepted by focusing on Canadians who have made it in Hollywood.
		Virtually no Canadian voice of the past is left unheard and readers are presented with a decent overview of animation beyond the National Film Board of Canada.
		As an equivalent, imagine overlooking the contributions of Atom Egoyan, Denys Arcand and other Canadian filmmakers in favour of James Cameron, Jim Carrey and Pamela Anderson who, while all Canadian, have contributed nothing to the Canadian cultural landscape except for a birth certificate.

		They describe a world where the unions work with the railroads for the public good, and everybody reaps the benefits of greater productivity and improved service, but they only imply what is at the heart of any union organization: the interests of ownership and labor are not the same.

	Amazon.com: Walt Disney Treasures - On the Front Lines (1943): DVD
		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."

		Walt took his argument (or rather Seversky's) to the people: that advances in land-based air power would render no portion of the globe immune from air attack, and the only way the allies could win the war was by adopting this strategy.
		"victory Through Air Power" is in every way a propaganda film, but in an earlier sense of propagating an idea, without the connotations of disinformation that the word came to entail.
