* AnAesop: The short features Duck Dodgers in an EscalatingWar over Planet X with Marvin the Martian, to the point where they both use their "Secret Weapons". Dodgers succeeds in claiming Planet X, by which time it's roughly the size of an end table. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything A parable of the futility of nuclear war?]] Whether obvious or not, the creative team behind this short stated that it is an allegory for the Cold War.
