I take it all back. Funny, lovely to look at, with just a hint of “Jews control the world” whimsy. A true achievement, notwithstanding the fact that the narrative basically breaks down three-quarters of the way through.
Verdict: Does for nuclear jihad what “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” did for Disney. Click the image to watch.

Don’t they understand that anyone who has seen the crowds screaming “Death to America!!” really don’t give a crud how many animators they have?

So “alley ooda” is apparently their version of our “derka derka.” I’m not quite sure I completely follow why all those circus peanuts were wearing 1900’s world’s fair hats with flags on them, but I get the message. “Jews: Don’t prevent us from constructing new levels for Super Mario 64.”

Was that a Yanni song in the background? It sounded like either Yanni or John Tesh.
Of course, the American Circus Peanut just had a low drone as its backup music.

The attack of the Peanut People! Aaaaah!

The hats…it’s all about the hats.

Hmmmm.
The most interesting part for me was how they perceive the international situation vs how we perceive it.
We take a very dim view of the possibility of sanctions working, because the UN is a corrupt institution that would never go for it. Plus countries like Russia, France and China would gleefully oppose us.
So we see any sort of attempt to place sanctions on them as being almost doomed to failure due to divisions in the international community.
Yet from the view of the cartoon, the US actually seemed much more able to get other countries lined up against Iran. So it appears that Iran (or the cartoon creator) sees a much more monolithically united international community that is opposed to Iran and their “peaceful” nuclear quest.
Which means that these sanctions that we are pursuing may be more effective than we realize.
Of course, let’s not forget that I’m basically trying to read international politics through a bunch of freakin’ animated peanuts. So consider that your official disclaimer.

Why peanuts? Do they still think Jimmy Carter is President?
What was the big brown peanut in the audience? South Park’s Mr. Hankey making a cameo appearance?

Now we need one of you CGI hotshots to include a ‘Mr Bill’ ending.

Well…that just wasted 7:06 of my life

I don’t think those were peanuts. They were worms. That’s how they depict the countries who are not buying into their obvious lie that nuclear energy is their only motive here.
Yeah, right. And chickens have lips.

Looks like Veggie Tales on Islam.

It’s great how the Nigerian guy is so much bigger than the others. Also, how there’s a Swiss guy there. See how beleaguered poor Iran is!! Even Switzerland abandons its neutrality to threaten it!
Also, they had a guy with the English flag, rather than the UK. Presumably they wanted to get that crusading St. George symbol in there.

I like how Japan was stuck in the back next to Nigeria.
It must be really sad in Iran to be a kid… I mean, I grew up with GOOD cartoons like Duck Tales, Transformers, Thundercats, etc… They have to deal with crappy worm-peanuts watching white asexual blobs build a nuclear reactor. Oooooohhh… Exciting!
If we really want to conquer Iran, we need to send 80s cartoons over there.

Clever they way they portrayed everyone except the Iranians has non- or sub-human.
Troy Rasmussen on February 25, 2007 at 6:38 PM
They left off the part where Ah-ma-pee-nutjob demands all the other peanuts be instantly turned to peanut butter…

I’m pretty sure it’s Vanessa Mae. I could be wrong but it sounds like her work.

WTF was that?

A closer look into how to “propagandize” a civilization from toddlers to the elders, and anyone without a brain in between, has to be launched……….
I thought “movies with a motive”, did not have “any” effect on the populous, only cigarette adds……….
But never mind…….. it was against the “the United States of America”…….. that’s OK…
PinkyBigglesworth on February 26, 2007 at 1:02 AM
Actually, I thought the one top-hat-wearing peanut made some thought-provoking points.
saint kansas on February 26, 2007 at 1:05 PM
And congratulations to Iran on its first working lightbulb!
saint kansas on February 26, 2007 at 1:08 PM
Ok so I must have a filthy mind, but my first thought on this was not that it was a peanut. Close.
