TV Review: The Butter Battle Book (1989)

This is a Dr. Seuss animated TV special, which depicts in a real sense Dr. Seuss' ideas about the cold war.  I wonder if the production of this movie, a couple years before the "iron curtain" came down could have been an observation, or a reason why this wall cam down.
This movie shows two countries, divided by their preference for how the butter their bread, who engage in warfare of ever and ever bigger weapons, until they reach the ultimate point, everyone goes underground, while two face each other with "atomic" bombs which will destroy everything.
This movie gives Dr. Seuss a voice in political issues which he saw around him.
