National Defence

Synopsis

The Frenkel brothers were inspired to become animators after watching Felix the Cat cartoons. That influence shows in their character Mish-Mish, Egypt’s first animated hero. This is a funny propaganda film which calls on the Egyptian people to donate for the national cause in the war against the Nazis.
