We don't see this sort of stuff anymore, but propaganda is well and alive still. I doubt the propaganda of today will be enjoyed on DVD (or whatever format we have then) 60 years from now, though. As you said, propaganda ain't what it used to be.
I'm going to have to get this DVD. I had no idea the US appropriated Disney Studios during the War to make these. I imagine it wouldn't go over well today if the government took over a major studio to produce their propaganda for the War on Terror.
