Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Further Adventures of Uncle Sam is a 1970 animated short (13 min) by Dale Case and Robert Mitchell.Uncle Sam is spending his time running a tiny gas station somewhere in the desert Southwest, accompanied by his buddy, a bald eagle. While Sam snoozes in a rocking chair, the eagle takes a walk to the top of a nearby hill. While he's there, a big muscle car pulls up to the gas station. As Sam looks under the hood of the car, two Mooks who look a lot like the Blue Meanies from Yellow Submarine leap out, throw him into a sack, and drive away.The eagle sees all this happen from his perch and goes off in search of Sam. Eventually the eagle finds Sam being held prisoner at the top of the bad guys's tower. It's not exactly clear just what the bad guys are up to, but they get a new idea: kidnap the Statue of Liberty.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Very much an Unintentional Period Piece, bearing not just a typical look for early '70s independent animation, but also some very unsubtle satire that roots it in the anti-Vietnam War era. Sometimes also called The Further Adventures of Uncle Sam: Part 2—it was under this title that the cartoon got nominated for an Oscar—but that title was a joke, as there was only one cartoon and "Part 2" does not appear in the film's credits. | |

Mutual Kill | |
| The Further Adventures Of Uncle Sam / int_1df37537 | comment |
Mutual Kill: One scene has a gross Great White Hunter type shooting lions and alligators and whatnot with an enormous shotgun, then pullling his dead game down into a trap door. He sees a second, identical hunter, gets excited and shoots him. But after he chucks the second hunter into the pit a shotgun blast from the bottom kills him, and he falls in too. | |

Art Imitates Art: The mooks look just like the Blue Meanies from Yellow Submarine. And the blimp ride that Sam and the eagle take is highly reminiscent of that film. | |

Losing Your Head | |
| The Further Adventures Of Uncle Sam / int_62cae28a | comment |
Losing Your Head: While the mooks have moneybags for heads, the evil boss has a bomb for a head. He lights it, only for the eagle to swoop in and whisk it away. The bomb explodes in the far distance, leaving the body of the boss stumbling around, fruitlessly trying to find its head. | |

Evil Tower of Ominousness: The bad guys imprison Sam in the top of their evil tower, which looms over the center of the city, and which has as its top...an ice cream cone. (Sam is imprisoned in the ice cream ball.) | |

Bond Villain Stupidity: The head bad guy leaves Sam atop the tower, sitting on a barrel of TNT, with a burning pile of money evidently meant to blow up the dynamite. Sam uses the smoke from the fire to send an SOS signal which brings the eagle to rescue him. | |

Capitalism Is Bad | |
| The Further Adventures Of Uncle Sam / int_8b60a09b | comment |
Capitalism Is Bad: The mooks all have money bags for heads. The city is choked with pollution from pumping oil wells. As Sam and the eagle fly out of the city they pass a parade of garish, ugly advertisements. And the head bad guy is a cartoon capitalist who smokes a fat cigar and literally sets money on fire. | |

Satire | |
| The Further Adventures Of Uncle Sam / int_b3a49cdb | comment |
Satire: Extremely non-subtle; this cartoon's satirization of capitalism and American excess is very very obvious. One scene has an elephant and a donkey fighting. The hills morph into the heads of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. | |
