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 [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.
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.
