"This was the first of three cartoons on economic subjects underwritten by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. It was followed by Heir-Conditioned and Yankee Dood It."
Here is what Wikipedia says about it:
"Starting in 1950, New York University’s Institute of Economic Affairs received annual grants for projects concerned with educating the public on economics issues, including a series of educational animated short films through Warner Bros. Animation starring Sylvester and Elmer Fudd and directed by Friz Freleng that illustrate basic elements of capitalism. This series includes By Word of Mouse (1954), Heir-Conditioned (1955) and Yankee Dood It (1956)."

Lovely. Woder why the "German" mouse even bothers to give the mass production another thought and also tells his children about it, in a fashion that it would be a neutral or even a "good thing".
At first he seemed to understand that it is a terrible mistake but later he got influenced to much. As it happend to pretty much everybody on the planet as well.
Thanks for reading my blog and commenting. I am not clear on what you are saying. Are you against mass production?
