During World War II, many American cartoons made fun of some of its pivotal figures. Norm McCabe’s satirical The Ducktators doesn’t mince words either: eight minutes of unrelenting slapstick comedy, insults and criticisms directed at Hitler, Mussolini, Hideki Tojo-respecifically a chick, a goose with an Italian accent, and a Japanese duck.

An unfiltered torrent of satire, The Ducktators is by far one of the darkest Looney Tunes, and in a way, an anthology of the cartoonish humour popular on television at the time. The film also illustrates the violence of fascist aesthetics. As a final headbutt, the makers apologise at the end to “any friendly ducks and geese that might be in the audience.”—an unfiltered torrent of satire.
