Verwitterte Melodie

Verwitterte Melodie, or Weather-beaten Melody, is a 1942 animated short, created by the Nazis as propaganda material. It was written by cartoonist Horst von Möllendorff and animated by Jiri Brdecka . It was animated in Prague, Germany .

The general outline of the plot is of a bee that finds an abandoned phonograph in a meadow. The record, however, is jazz, and the interaction of different species of bugs makes this a subtle criticism of the Nazi ideals. Subversive propaganda?
