The article seems to imply that any work of art created within the context of an organization must be regarded as propaganda by default. "The Mystery of the Third Planet" was produced by a studio, which according to wikipedia enjoyed an "unprecedented degree of artistic freedom" [1]. Yet this film is mentioned right after the remark that "children were a key target of propaganda with space-themed films and cartoons cranked out for a younger audience." I don't really disagree with this way of categorizing certain art as propaganda but I'd like to see the same line of thought applied more often to Hollywood.
