Plot Overview

Utilizing generous excerpts from the 1943 theatrical feature Victory Through Air Power, this episode traces the history of animation, from the earliest days of Chinese rocketry to the present. Though the narration of the original film has been rewritten, the images remain intact, including a sprightly if slightly off-the-beam sequence in which World War I is essentially reduced to the level of a sight gag.
