Some of the biggest names in the history of entertainment will gather at Wexner Center tonight.Superman, Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse are the predicted attendees of Wexner Center’s “Cartoonland Goes to War,” tonight at 7 p.m.”[‘Cartoonland Goes to War’ will feature] your favorite cartoons stars from the 40s from some of the major studios,” David Filipi, associate curator of media arts at the Wexner Center, said.Hollywood studios were unable to avoid changes during World War II. Many studios at the time were drafted into the government’s propaganda effort to ease Americans into the horror of world war. The films that came out of this effort encompassed a wide range of topics. Some, such as the Donald Duck feature, “The New Spirit,” were designed to make taxpayers feel better about their taxes and similar sentiments. Others were more directly related to the war. Many of these were instructional films that used the media of animation to clearly present situations that live action cameras couldn’t capture. Everything from plane identification to weather formations were covered in these films.”Cartoonland Goes to War,” will feature another type of wartime cartoon. Some of these were designed for the soldiers, but many were designed to calm the American public. These cartoons used humor and favorite cartoon characters to spread anti-Axis propaganda. Often, the hero would be shown defeating or confounding an exaggeratedly ridiculous and terrible Axis enemy. “I think one of the most interesting aspects is the kind of amazing cooperation at the time between government and the Hollywood studios to promote certain behavior during the war.” Filipi said. “There really isn’t an equivalent today. It was a level of cooperation that seems kind of amazing.”The presentation will last about two hours and feature between 18 and 20 pieces. These pieces will include several Superman cartoons and a number of Warner Brothers cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Warner Brother’s famous wartime character, Private Snafu. There will also be some cartoons from other studios of the time.”Cartoonland Goes to War” takes place tonight at 7 p.m. in the Wexner Center. Admission is $5, and $4 for students.
