FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR is a short animated film produced by Walt Disney Studios and released in July 1942. The short was one of a series of animated films produced by Disney during the war as part of a propaganda campaign. It produced for the Department of Agriculture to educate about the importance of American agriculture in the war effort and in the hope of improving public mood and opinion about sacrifice for the war effort.

This short has fallen into the public domain before the 95 year limit, that's how it should be. It's not available on Disney+. The Walt Disney Company (along with other corporations) lobbied Congress to get the U.S. copyright laws extended by 20 years, twice! Because of that, it allows published works to be under copyright for almost a century and corporations to squeeze every last ounce of profit from them even long after the profitability has past. It keeps people from enjoying art, which is the purpose of art.
