I would be interested to have watched it, but unfortunately the surprise ending has been ruined since the notoriety of the film surpasses it's availability on video.<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to comment on "shock value" for a moment. Those words have a perjoritve taint to them, which I don't think is fair. There is nothing wrong with shocking an audience out of their complacency and expectations. It is just another tool of the filmmaker. Is it so bad if a filmmaker is angry over some injustice and wants to figuratively throw cold water in the audiences face to wake them to this realisation?<BR/><BR/>I can understand why you would see a similarity between Bambi Meets Godzilla and this cartoon, but I think there is a big difference between the two. In the former, the cartoon is simply a silly punchline -- there is nothing more to it than that. In the latter, there is a political comment being made, mostly against the pro-war propaganda that characters like Micky Mouse espoused during WWII. I think that sort of commentary elevates it beyond its one note joke. (Of course, I haven't seen the cartoon, and for all its good intentions it could still be a poor piece of art.)J. J.
