Animation ... Horst Von Mollendorff ...

Verwitterte Melodie, or Weather-beaten Melody, is a 1943 animated short, made in Nazi Germany. It was written mainly by cartoonist Hans Fischerkoesen, although the sole credits often went to Horst von Möllendorff. 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.

The technique which was used in this Cartoon with its mirrows and the sounds were, in a technical way, much more modern than the Walt Disney Cartoons from this time.
