'''The Ducktators''' is a 1942 WartimeCartoon released by Creator/WarnerBros and directed by Norm [=McCabe=], who would later direct ''WesternAnimation/TokioJokio'' (1943) too. It's notable for being a satirical allegory for UsefulNotes/WorldWarII depicting UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini and [[UsefulNotes/HidekiTojo]] as ducks and geese who take over a farm, while a peace dove (possibly based on [[UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt U.S. President Roosevelt]]) feels powerless to stop them. Near the end, after being trampled in a failed attempt to end the Ducktators' reign of terror peacefully, he decides to muster up the courage to defeat them.

** When Mussolini speeches the "Figaro" chorus from ''Theatre/TheBarberOfSeville'' can be heard.
Added DiffLines:
* TimeMarchesOn: The cartoon is obviously a product of its time. And while the defeat of the Axis is predicted almost correctly the Allied forces had a lot more trouble defeating them then the cartoon suggests. Here the Japanese are defeated first and in one good blow. In reality they would be the last of the Axis to surrender.
Added DiffLines:
* YellowPeril: While Hitler and Mussolini are caricatured with the message that they are not representative of all Germans and Italians by showing a title card "we like to apologize to all the nice ducks and geese in the audience" the Japanese duck still had to arrive in the cartoon at that point. Thus this implies that all Japanese are apparently evil by default. It doesn't help that he is also a racial caricature, while Hitler and Mussolini aren't.

'''The Ducktators''' is a 1943 WartimeCartoon released by Warner Brothers and directed by Norm [=McCabe=]. It's notable for being a satirical allegory for WorldWarTwo depicting UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini and UsefulNotes/{{Hirohito}} (or UsefulNotes/HidekiTojo) as ducks and geese who take over a farm, while a peace dove all lets it happen. Near the end he finally makes a HeelFaceTurn and defeats them. The short ends with a propaganda message to buy more war bonds and join the army. The cartoon's director, Norm [=McCabe=] gave the good example and joined up afterwards, making this his final cartoon.

Since the end of WorldWarTwo it has seldom been seen in theatres or on TV due to ValuesDissonance (very racial jokes at the expense of Japanese people) and it being an UnintentionalPeriodPiece. As a result it has fallen into PublicDomain. It's mostly interesting for historians or people interested in [[WarTimeCartoon war time cartoons]].
!! This cartoon provides examples of the following tropes:
* AdolfHitlarious: Hitler is shown as an angry duck who makes a fool of himself.
* AllAsiansLookAlike:
** The Japanese duck tries to avoid being beaten up by trying to act like he is not Japanese, but Chinese. His badge however is ''Made in Japan'' and gives it away.
** While Hitler and Mussolini are recognizably caricatured as themselves the Japanese duck is more ambiguously Japanese. It's not clear whether he is supposed to be UsefulNotes/HidekiTojo or UsefulNotes/{{Hirohito}}.
* AsianSpeekeeEngrish: The Japanese duck replaces his 'r' 's with 'l' 's.
* BerserkButton: Only when the peace dove is trampled by Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito does he finally snap and fight back.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: This cartoon is rarely seen on television due to it being very discriminative towards the Japanese and an outdated topic.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: The black duck claiming to be from "South Germany" winks to the audience after saying his line.
* CutShort: Some very old prints of this cartoon end rather abruptly after the rabbit punches out everybody with a hammer and cut out the ending where Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito's heads are stuck to a wall and the "Buy War Bonds" message.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The cartoon is in black-and-white.
* EverybodySmokes: The father duck hands out cigars to celebrate the birth of his child.
* HurricaneOfPuns:
** The title.
** The ''storm troopers'' walk in an actual storm cloud. One of them even gets hit by lightning.
** When Hitler orders everybody to "Sieg Heil" one soldier claims: "I'm a sick hailer too!", while coughing and looking delirious.
** The Japanese duck is introduced as "making a silly Axis of himself". He sings a parody of the song "The Japanese Sandman", claiming to be a "Japanese '''Sap'''man".
** The Gestapo head quarters has the title ''Gestinko Gestapo''.
* ILied: Hitler signs peace treaties, but puts them in a shredder, then beats up everybody in the room.
* IThoughtItMeant: Father Time is told "not to pass by that fast".
* NationalStereotypes:
** The black duck claiming to be from "South Germany" is an Afro-American man from the DeepSouth.
** The Mussolini goose gives a speech with "a lotsa Italian-a accentuations" and lists things like "tutti frutti", while the aria from Music/GioachinoRossini's ''Theatre/TheBarberOfSeville'' plays in the background.
** The Japanese duck is caricatured with glasses, buck tooth and speaks with an AsianSpeekeeEngrish accent. He sings "I'm The Japanese Sandman", also apologizes for everything he does, plays with his hands, has an imbecilic grin and even tries to avoid punishment by claiming [[AllAsiansLookAlike he is not Japanese but actually Chinese]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Subverted, the Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito ducks and geese all get beaten up and their heads are stuck on the wall.
* NoFourthWall: A title card comes up with the note "Apologies to all the NICE DUCKS and GEESE who may be in the audience", meaning that the writers and animators are genuinely sorry for mocking the Germans and Italians ([[UnfortunateImplications yet no apology is given for mocking the Japanese]]).
* PunBasedTitle: "The Ducktators" instead of "The Dictators".
* {{Satire}}: The cartoon is a satirical allegory of World War Two.
* ShoutOut: The rabbit with a moustache who says: "Busy little bee, aren't I?" is a caricature of comedian Jerry Colonna.
* ThoseWackyNazis: The Axis are depicted as barnyard ducks and geese.
* WarIsGlorious: The cartoon tells the audience that they can enlist in the army to make "this" [[note]] the defeat of the Axis [[/note]] come true.
* WarTimeCartoon: One of the most famous.
