Plot
 | This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (June 2015) |
The short demonstrates how a person adopts their ability to solve problems through logical reasoning (the head) or through emotional passion (the heart). Adolf Hitler is shown to not have any reasoning, instead relying purely on emotion; it is explained that "Americans should control the emotion inside our head lest it control us — and make us vulnerable to Hitler's vile fearmongering."[2] Hitler's speeches and motivational tactics are shown as manipulative.[3]
Production
Reason and Emotion was directed by Bill Roberts, with animation by Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston, among others.[4] BlogofDeath explains: "During World War II, [Joe] Grant and animator Dick Huemer created gags and designs for many of Disney’s patriotic-themed cartoons", including this movie.[5]
Home media
The short was released on May 18, 2004 on Walt Disney Treasures: Walt Disney on the Front Lines.[6]
Critical reception
IndieWire wrote, "Reason and Emotion is exactly the kind of thing that sticks in your mind because it is strange, a wartime film that used a visual metaphor to make a case about Americans keeping their calm during WWII."[7]
