The Deutsche Zeichentrickfilme GmbH (DZF) (German animated films GmbH) was an animation production company founded on 25 June 1941 by Reich propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.[1] It was set up as an alternative to Disney, attempting to rival films such as Mickey Mouse, while spreading the Nazi ideology and propaganda through a less aggressive entertainment source.[2]
