WWII propaganda cartoons

Years ago, I got to watch part of a DVD that had this marvelous collection of all the cartoons they used to show soldiers during WWII.

They were fantastic, and mostly voiced by Mel Blanc, so you got to hear the voice of Bugs Bunny warning soldiers not to tell even their friends about military plans while vacationing at home, because Hitler is hiding under your kitchen table, listening.

There were cartoons made for enforcing certain behaviors during wartime, like not "goldbricking" (ie doing the bare minimum, or passing your work off to other soldiers), weapon maintenance, etc.

Point is, I want to watch this DVD again. I'm hunting around a bit on Netflix and Google, but I don't think it was called something easy to search for like "WWII propaganda cartoons", it probably had a quirky name.

If any of you have seen this DVD or know of it, let me know. I really want to see it all the way through.
