Sutherland Productions - Meet King Joe


 

This theatrical cartoon was produced to create a deeper understanding of what has made America the finest place in the world to live. Joe, who wears overalls and talks with a pseudo-Brooklyn accent, is king of the workers of the world because the machinery in his factory multiplies strength and efficiency. This is part of the American way of doing things, the narrator tells us.
