Disney and the War: Grumpy is Ready to Go

I am a huge Disney fan! It turns out that the disney cartoonists were involved in the war in an interesting way--their artwork adorned the aircraft of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Here Grumpy, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is shown carrying explosives. He is clearly one "person" who would be fed up with Axis aggression and ready to take it on. It's "cute" and perhaps these characters lightened the mood for soldiers in the face of a grim task. However, it is strange to see images associated with innocence on the fuselage of a war plane.
