The casual viewers may not get it (Big JD), but there is a lot more going on than just the face value. This film is abundant with symbolism and underlying meaning. There is quite a lot of Nazi propaganda used in this film. This movie was made during a period where there was still a lot of tension between the U.S. Another interesting fact is that it was heavily used in the Soviet Union from the 30’s to the 50’s, which could make it a sort of Easter egg of sorts. They used live action footage and made it look different and cool. There was also some footage that was shot using rotoscoping which was cheaper than animating some of the battle scenes.

This opened the door for movies like Heavy Metal, Cool World, and other “risque” cartoon content.Īfter a nuclear war wipes out almost all of humanity and leaves the rest as mutant freaks, elves, fairies and dwarfs all come back to the world and start to thrive.
