  Why don't we burn the pictures like the Soviets burned the (alleged) artist? Can't we forget about these morons and start obsessing about Pol Pot for a change?...

  Snow White: 1937. Possible, but by then Hitler was very busy with politics. I doubt he was painting much by then. Pinocchio: 1940. Totally and completely impossible. Poland was invaded in 1939 and Europe was embroiled in WWII. I doubt Hitler ever picked up a brush after 1939, and probably much earlier. He was imprisoned after the Munich Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, where he wrote Mein Kampf, which was published in two volumes in 1925 and 1926. I rather imagine he had given up painting by the time he got involved in politics....

He had Goebbels denounce Mickey as "un-German" and compare him to Jews. Strange, sick, angry man....

  I'm sure if Norway has these on display, that they have been examined to be verified. Those who dispute this are sidetracking the topic. These characters were some of the very few that were available compared today. Myself seeing them in the early fifties left a huge mark when viewed in large theaters. Color TV did not exist. It just goes to show just how influential the Disney's art became. It was pure entertainment showing the strife of the littlest of life. It also proves that the art form entertained, and overwhelmed even the most brutal of creatures. Nothing more....
