The film "Baby Kangaroo's Birthday Surprise" (カンガルーの誕生日 - Kangaroo no
Tanjoubi) was released in [February
1941](http://myanimelist.net/anime/6843/Kangaroo_no_Tanjoubi), less than a
year before the Second Sino-Japanese war became the Pacific War, involving the
United States and the British Empire, which included Australia.

The film was not set in any particular country, and involved non-Australian
animals as well as kangaroos. For example, the main villain was a wolf, which
doesn't occur in Australia.

Was the film the target of any censorship in Japan because of its use of an
Australian animal?
