Movies (20 minutes): When it comes to movies, no company has been as influential as Disney. Watch clips from the three Disney movies. Look at the images of the heroes and villains.

Try this experiment: on a separate sheet of paper, draw a picture of a witch and a devil in profile. **Then, scroll down:**

Now, compare your drawings to the faces of the Disney villains. Why do you think they look so similar? **Note your answer and scroll down.**

Visit these links to WWII propaganda posters (from both the Nazis and the Allies); how do they compare to the images you drew and the faces of Disney villains?
