<p>The question is mostly in the title; When discussing propaganda through anime, most articles refer to Momotaro's Divine Sea Eagles. </p>

<p>There was definitely other anime which were produced during wartime to promote the army's cause - but a lot of it was destroyed by the Americans after Japan's defeat. </p>

<p>Is there any other surviving animated Japanese propaganda from WWII?</p>

@user1306322 I've turned the comment into an answer, with a working YouTube link. Unfortunately, I don't know enough to provide any commentary or analysis about the anime films.

Apart from Momotaro's Sea Eagles, did any other animated propaganda survive WWII?
