to me, this film, and the animated Watership Down, are two pieces that any student of animation or animation/film history should see (and the books should be read). It almost doesn't matter if you like it or not, its important for its historical value. The comments before mine are great. Watch, read, think about the political history around it, and why the films are different from the books.

Nazi germany was not socialist. They used the Phrase National Socialism, but Socialist were amongst some of the first to be snuffed out by the SS

The James Earl Jones Test.

If you want to tell if a narrator is really James Earl Jones or not, then just close your eyes as you listen, picture Mufasa from the animation movie The Lion King (Simba's father), and then you'll know if it's him or not. This clearly is not Mr. Jones. The man is very very white. See 3 other replies

That was a very accurate prediction of the fall of Gorbachev and his evil empire in the Soviet Union. The film was made in 1954, and the Soviet Union finally fell in 1991.
Unfortunately, Socialism did not fall from within in Nazi Germany because the typical German was hopelesly brainwashed. Alllied forces had to destroy that Socialist dictatorship from without.

Wealth is not the enemy. Prospering in and of itself is not evil. Or none of us would have the right to benefit from our own actions. We would have no right to declare self worth- our only worth would be how much "the greater good" could sacrifice us for. Our only right would be to take whatever some socialist dictator hands us and say thank you. No, it's not productivity, prosperity, or even personal wealth that is the evil. It's the LOVE of wealth, separate from and above people, that is evil. And this is not an economic distinction- it's a moral one. It's not politics we've lost that has gotten us in the hole we're in now. It's the morality of politicians. See 4 other replies
