Walt Disney On The Front Lines

Reason and Emotion (1x28)

Fecha de emisión: Ene 01, 1943

This short takes us into the mind of Junior, a young diaper-wearing boy. Junior's actions are governed by both leavel-headed Reason and the imaginative, thrill-seeking Emotion. Junior grows up as do the two associates in his head. When Emotion takes the driver's seat and calls a woman "babe", he gets slapped. We then go inside the woman's head, where her scantily-clad Emotion seeks pleasure by indulging in sweets. The point the short comes to make is that in this time of war, that throwing reason out of the way is fine...for Hitler! The conflict of reason and emotion lends itself to innovation, but it's also distressing. The audio is a bit flat on this short, which is preceded by a 30-second introduction from Maltin.
