This fantastic 1954 animated film uses anthropomorphized dollar bills, a money-sucking tax monster, and other fun characters to illustrate how our free-enterprise economy is the key to individual success and prosperity for every American. Sponsored by the United States Chamber of Commerce, the true agenda of this film paints communism as detrimental to our nationâs health, and it spends a lot of time trying to convince the American audience that spending money, paying a modest amount in taxes, and investing hard-earned dollars are patriotic and All American actions. In fact, it even links the Bill of Rights to capitalism and basically equates consumption with freedom. This film was awarded the Freedom Foundationâs gold honor medal as "the best film developed in the United States during 1954 to further a better understanding of the American way of life."
