Verwitterte Melodie
(Redirected from Weather-beaten Melody)
Verwitterte Melodie, or Weather-beaten Melody, is a 1943 animated short, created by the Nazis as propaganda material. It was written mainly by cartoonist Hans Fischerkoesen, although the sole credits often went to Horst von Möllendorff [1]. It was animated by Jiri Brdecka in Prague.
The general outline of the plot is of a bee that finds an abandoned phonograph in a meadow.The record, however, is jazz, and the interaction of different species of bugs makes this a subtle criticism of the Nazi ideals.
