T<\/strong>he Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor<\/a> on December 7, 1941, and the United States\u2019 subsequent entry into World War II affected every corner of American life. That included the Walt Disney Studios. On the day of the attack, army troops arrived at the Disney lot in Burbank, California, to set up an anti-aircraft battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walt Disney and his staff pledged their support to the war effort, with the studio devoting over 90 percent of its wartime output to producing training, propaganda, entertainment, and public-service films, starting with a short for Lockheed titled Four Methods of Flush Riveting<\/em>. Disney also produced publicity and print campaigns\u2014almost all without profit. Even the animated members of Disney\u2019s entourage supported the war effort, appearing in advertisements, stamp books, magazines, and government posters to promote war bond sales, food recycling, and more. (When government officials objected to Donald Duck appearing in a short for the Internal Revenue Bureau about the importance of paying taxes, Walt pointed out that getting the duck was equivalent to MGM loaning out Clark Gable.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2023 the National WWII Museum<\/a> opened a special traveling exhibit, The Walt Disney Studios and World War II<\/em>, which explores how the beloved entertainment company supported the war. Organized by the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, California, the exhibit features more than 500 rare historical artifacts and film clips and includes profiles of Disney employees who left the studio to join the armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in the heart of New Orleans, the National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world\u2014why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today\u2014so that future generations will know the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn. The Walt Disney Studios and World War II<\/em> will be at the museum through September 24, 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
