Torah perspective
Wrapping hate in a child's animation style is a chilling inversion of the mitzvah to teach our children diligently. The Torah commands us to pass down the truth of what was, so that memory becomes a guardrail for the soul. When atrocity is repackaged as entertainment and denial is dressed up as satire, the line between remembering and forgetting collapses. Evil has always understood that if you capture the imagination of the young, you win the next generation. This is why the commandment to remember Amalek is not only about the past. It is about recognizing that the same venom, when given a fresh coat of paint, will find its way to a new audience.
