The World War II marked a period of great importance for the history of American cinema. With the country's entry into the conflict, the government led by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt - to whom the films had a triple role (informing, persuading and entertaining) - began to work with Hollywood studios to create the war efforts and motivated the population to do their part in what would be a struggle for all. Thus, this research aims to understand the place of the United States in World War II built by the Hollywood wartime cartoons between 1939 and 1945. In those years, the animations produced by Hollywood studios circulate in American society sought to vilify the enemies, to valorize the patriotism and convince the public about the importance of acquiring war bonds. At the same time, they transmitted the idea that every citizen, even if he or she was not on the battle fronts, could take part in a decisive role in the conflict. Through film and historiographical analysis, the thesis analyzes the political propaganda elaborated in the animations, the tensions and contradictions present in these sources, which opposed the US soldier / citizen to the enemy (especially the German and Japanese one). At the same time, the narrative of the cartoons forced an approximation of Latin American, Russian and Chinese allies, erasing conflicts and rewriting the relations of the United States with those countries. In addition, it is possible to observe internal social disputes with the presence of women and blacks in these short films, which were called to fill the absence of workers recruited, but remained, in the end, represented in a stereotyped, sexist and racist way
