The Ducktators

The story takes place in a barnyard and uses ducks as its main characters.

Two ducks have a baby born from an all-black egg. The story then goes on to tell about how the baby duck grew up into a Hitler-like duck.

Mussolini duck.

"Then from out of the west came another partner to make a silly Axis of himself." Shouldn't that be from out of the east? Either way, another stereotype of the Japanese, this time using a duck.

"...just a Japanese sap-man, I'm a little crazy too," goes the last part of the song the Japanese-duck is singing.

It then sticks a sign on something sticking out of the water, making it an island under Japanese control. Unfortunately for the duck it's not an island but a turtle that chases him and keeps hitting him with the sign.

All three Axis ducks together.

The "dove of peace" gets ticked off and beats all three Axis ducks.

"Give ‘em one for Pearl Harbor" is heard in the background as the Gestapo ducks get beat up and thrown into a trash can.

The cartoon uses ducks in place of humans but the stereotyped view of the Japanese still comes through. It reemphasizes the "sneaky" nature of the Japanese and makes all three leaders look extremely stupid.
