The book was a global hit amongst socialist and communist ideologies, and it was translated into many languages, including Finnish.
#DONALD DUCK IN A SUBMARINE CARTOON HOW TO#
This accusation can actually be tracked back to a popular Chilean book from 1971 called How to Read Donald Duck, which accused Disney characters of being a propaganda machine for capitalism. As odd as it sounds, the grounds for the termination were political, as the communist representatives labeled Donald Duck as an imperialist. The first happened in 1975 in the communist-dominated town of Kemi, when city council members decided to cease a subscription to Donald Duck magazines for a children’s home in the town. Largely speaking, the story isn’t true, though there were two incidents that occurred in Finland that contributed to the legend. The most famous pantless cartoon tale is that Donald Duck was banned in Finland because he doesn’t wear any pants. So, relax, take off your pants and find out the truth behind every pantless cartoon myth and controversy. Most of these controversies are false, but there’s usually more than a nugget of truth behind them, too.
As the gang at Cheers once mused, “Why is it that Donald Duck wears a top and no bottom, whereas Mickey wears a bottom and no top?”Īlong with such discussions, a number of rumors have developed about the controversial nature of these characters, like the story that Donald Duck was banned in Finland for his pantless ways, and that Pooh was likewise banned in Poland.
After all, animals don’t wear clothes, so why should they in cartoons? But controversy - or at least questions - do seem to arise when the concept of clothing is introduced into a cartoon world, but is then worn indiscriminately. No one objects to a totally naked cartoon animal.
