Hello everyone at AWN...I trust you are all well !!
My name is Charlotte and I'm a third year university student, and for my dissertation, I have chosen to write about the potency of animation as an art form, particularly in it's effective use as a propaganda weapon.
I know there is already a thread about interviews, but I was just wondering if there are any wonderful animators out there who have experience with this use of animation ???? Books are a great resource, don't get me wrong, but I'd love to hear the views of anyone who has had some kind of working knowledge in the area.
If you are the wonderful person/people I am searching for, and you have a spare moment, PLEASE email me your thoughts and comments..you'll get a fab reference in my dissertation I promise !!!

I don't have any personal experience with this but I do know a resource. For examples of this, I'd reccommend purchasing Disney's DVD On the Front Lines:The War Years to research animated military propaganda in the 40s. I bought it myself as this topic interests me personally--even though it will only give limited examples.
