"Make Mine Freedom" is a 1948 cartoon that warns against the dangers of "Ism" (communism, socialism, and fascism). It was commissioned by the Extension Department of Harding College, Searcy, Arkansas. The Animation studio was John Sutherland Productions, the directors were Joseph Hanna & William Barbera, and the producer was Fred Quimby.
The message of this cartoon is WAY over the heads of most people these days.
