ok i love disney as much as the next guy but...


...that swastika on the lighter is too much of a coincidence surely.
the guy in the only review on this listing says that the symbol has been used for centuries for many different reasons, most prominently in buddism, which is true, but this cartoon was made in the 30's, and guess what? that just happened to be the same time as hitler was mobilising the nazi's! shock horror.
now is disney more likely to be a buddist or a nazi considering the other 'coincidences' surrounding his life? :-)

Yes but this was like 1932 before we realized what exactly Hitler did. In fact Hitler was a good leader at this time and didn't start getting at Jews until at least 1936.
