Animators have made Propaganda films since the animation industry grew in the second world war. It's what saved Walt Disney's company during the time of financial hardship. Times have changed and propaganda has become a staple of our society. It has indoctrinated us in a specific system. Individuals are using many different platforms to express themselves and creating important thought-provoking art that goes against an agenda.
David James Armsby is an aspiring film-director and makes animation short films on youtube to showcase his work. I found one of his animations on youtube that had a distinct style and name that made me want to see what it was all about. The title of the animation is called "Model Citizen" | Dystopian Animated Short Film (2020). What caught my attention by the name "Dystopian" is that it will have an anti-propaganda message. The style of the 50s era mixed with future controlled by robots gives this animation an eerily nostalgic feeling. The storyline is very strong and meaningful that it amplified the overall animation.
