The Spirit of '43 is a 1943 Wartime Cartoon and propaganda film made by Disney. It is a sequel to The New Spirit (1942).It stars Donald Duck being tempted to spent money on personal fun or pay taxes to support the war effort. Eventually Donald is convinced to support the war effort and the rest of the cartoon shows the audience how the money is used to defeat the Axis. The cartoon was quite a success and many Americans did indeed pay their taxes more gleefully afterwards.Like most wartime cartoons the short is never broadcast on television, because it is an Unintentional Period Piece. It is also one of the few Disney cartoons to have fallen into the Public Domain early. | |

Spiritual Successor: To The New Spirit. No sequel was needed in '44, because by then Federal Income Tax Withholding had been introduced. | |

Time Marches On | |
| The Spirit of '43 / int_397569de | comment |
Time Marches On: From the title alone one can see this cartoon is dated. It was solely made as a war time propaganda short for the year 1943. It even names explicit dates (March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15) when everyone should pay his taxes. | |

Public Domain Soundtrack: "Yankee Doodle Dandy", "The Star Spangled Banner" and "My Country Tis Of Thee That I Sing" are heard on the soundtrack. Ludwig van Beethoven's "5th Symphony" is quoted too, because the opening bars were the signal of the "V for Victory" campaign. | |

Those Wacky Nazis: Apart from the spentworthy side of Donald, who is revealed to be a comedic caricature of Hitler, wacky Nazis are notably absent in this cartoon. In the second half of the cartoon Nazism is depicted as an evil monster that must be defeated. | |

Propaganda Piece | |
| The Spirit of '43 / int_8a336276 | comment |
Propaganda Piece: This cartoon was made to make the American people understand why they should pay such high taxes in regard to the war effort. Securing money and spending it wisely was a real issue back then! Plus, the Great Depression had not ended too long before this short was released. | |

Good Angel, Bad Angel: The thrifty side and the spentworthy side are not literally depicted as angels or devils, but they both argue with Donald's conscience on how to use his money. | |

Wartime Cartoon | |
| The Spirit of '43 / int_c364c51e | comment |
Wartime Cartoon: A blatant example. The store where Donald wants to spend his money is called "The Idle Hour Club". It also has very unsubtle signs like "Blow your dough" and "Welcome, sucker!" Later the opening gates turns out to be a swastika and the spentworthy duck suddenly sports a Hitler moustache and wears swastika's on his clothing. He even produces swastika smoke rings from his cigarette pipe. When Donald punches the spentworthy duck into the store the swastika gates are destroyed and form the "V" sign with the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony playing in the background. | |

| The Spirit of '43 / int_db7efdaf | comment |
Adolf Hitlarious: When caught in a tug of war outside the Idle Hour club (with a swastika-shaped gate), when the narrator asks if Donald is going to spend for the Axis, the zoot-suit wearing Spendthrift is caricatured as the Fuehrer, while the smoke from his cigarette forms the shape of a swastika. | |
