This short is notable for being one of UsefulNotes/NaziGermany's attempts at producing animation of significant quality to try to rival that of Creator/WaltDisney's [[Creator/{{Disney}} studios]]. UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler was so impressed by the groundbreaking animation of ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' that he ordered Joseph Goebbels to create a studio that would be able to reduce the technical gap between German and American productions. Thus the Deutsche Zeichenfilm studio was born in 1941. It was shut down in late 1944 due to the needs of the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII war effort]].

* RuleOfSymbolism: Given that it's a Nazi propaganda effort, and especially one aimed at children, the racial metaphors in this are as poisonous and unsubtle as they come.

** A kite with a stereotypical Chinese face threatens Hansi while he's flying in the air -- until he accidentally divebombs it and destroys it in one blow, proving it's harmless and only made of paper.[[note]]The Republic of China Air Force was growing in strength at the time the short was produced, especially with the benefit of American and Soviet aid; by the time they began joint operations with the USAAF in 1944, they outnumbered and outgunned Germany's ally Japan, whose Imperial Air Service had been decimated by years of fighting.[[/note]]
** Covered in soot from a chimney, Hansi is invited to sing with a flock of croaking, off-key brown birds on telephone lines. As he sings beautifully, he begins to fly upwards and shed his soot, revealing himself to be light-feathered. The brown birds, irritated and jealous of his talent, pull him back on the line (literally, [[TallPoppySyndrome dragging him down with them]]) and catapult him away.
** The montage of different birds turning him away in the thunderstorm is a blatant analogy for the concept of ''lebensraum''.
** Surprisingly, seemingly averted at one point. When the cat chasing Hansi gets a flowerpot dropped on its head, its whiskers droop into a mustache and it looks like it's wearing a tasselled fez (complete with Islamic moon and star); given that Turkey still had official, if not particularly strong, diplomatic relations with Nazi Germany at that point, it's more likely a boilerplate racist gag, common for most cartoons -- American or German -- of the time.
