In the mid-50's (height of Cold War), the Sloan Foundation commissioned the creation of 3 'toons spreading the joyous news of capitalism. They were:

By Word of Mouse (1954)
Heir Conditioned (1955)
Yankee Dood It (1956)

Thanks, Tuco, for the info!

I'm looking for clean, clear copies of 'Mouse' and 'Heir'

if you can help, pls email.

for a very extensive list of pic WB toons, see

Watch Cartoon Network, I see "Heir" all the time, and the other two have aired as well. The weird thing is, those cartoons aren't particularly funny, and they don't really explain capitalism all that well, or, at least, don't tell anything more than basic knowledge about how the system works. Also, they don't have any credits linking them to any kind of propaganda/capitalism company either. The best of them, in my opinion, is "Heir Conditioned".
