During WWII, all of American industry was making an effort to win the war using their specialty, and Hollywood was no different. Many training, public service and propaganda films were made, with the backing of the United States Office of War Information. Washington particularly liked Disney studios. With their many popular characters and highly skilled artists, Disney Studios could produce a unique variety of films from detailed training films to public service shorts.
Below are two films for the Homefront, about saving cooking fats for weapons and wartime food production in the United States. Enjoy.
