Amid Amidi’s Animation Blast points us toward the “second edition of Doing Their Bit: Wartme American Animated Short Films, 1939-1945 [which] is being published soon and it sounds like a solid read for anybody interested in understanding the now-controversial animated shorts produced by the major Hollywood cartoon studios during World War II”. Michael S. Shull and David E. Wilt’s book, which is up for order at Amazon.com, looks like it will be shipping in early 2004.
