Watch Mr. Wolf

Disgusted with for-profit warmongering, a rich industrialist liquidates his assets and relocates his family to a secluded island of peace. His wife pines for stock market reports and railroad catastrophes and the rest of the family is similarly bored. Mr. Wolf's declamatory pacifism is found wanting when capital rears its head in the form of an oil gusher. Soviet cartoons were often ideological but rarely so cynical.
