Nimbus Libéré was produced by Nazi Germany for occupied Vichy France in 1943. The opening credits of Libéré credit the film to a comic artist named Cal.

It opens on what appears to be a peaceful evening in Vichy France. A man is at home listening to the radio with his family. THe radio reports that France will be liberated (the radio message is read by an overtly offensive caricature of a Jewish man from London). Meanwhile, the United States - represented by such familiar faces as Goofy, Felix the Cat, Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and Donald Duck - fly over and bomb those they are supposedly "liberating." The film ends on a morbid note after the man's house is blown up. The radio continues to speak as the angel of death flies over to turn it off, laughing manically.
