Reason and Emotion is a World War II-era short film by Walt Disney Productions, released on August 28, 1943, by RKO Radio Pictures. The eight-minute short, produced for the United States government as wartime propaganda, discusses the importance of not letting emotion overrun reason, with examples from both civilian and wartime life. It was nominated for the 1943 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, losing to the Tom and Jerry short The Yankee Doodle Mouse.

Production

Reason and Emotion was directed by Bill Roberts, with animation by Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston, among others. BlogofDeath explains: "During World War II, [Joe] Grant and animator Dick Huemer created gags and designs for many of Disney's patriotic-themed cartoons", including this film.

In an August 1942 issue, LIFE magazine's "Walt Disney Goes to War" showed seven preliminary drawings for Reason and Emotion, and wrote: "Here are sketches from a new Disney short now being filmed. Like several of his short subjects, it is based on an idea offered by the U.S. Government, but done entirely at Disney's expense and released by him through RKO. It is presented as straight entertainment with wartime appeal.
