I read your great piece on "Ferdinand" and I agree, these cartoons and shorts are not to be overlooked when looking for a window on a particular era. They can make us cringe, and break our hearts.Jacqueline T.

Hard not to, sometimes. Thanks for your comment.Jacqueline T.

A lot of wartime shorts that get included on DVD sets may seem ancient to others, but in some ways there message is even more timely for us.J.C.
