The PSA era of animation, which coincided and followed shortly after war-period animation, is one d the most interesting parts of animation history. Studios were in a dire place and started producing more government-funded educational films in order to stay afloat. The result is usually a bunch of sterile and unhumorous informational shorts such as So Much For So Little, which is about the health services department. Seeing this kind of short film really does drive home the point of how badly we’ve cut back on public services today
