For one, comedies were popular films in the 1930s. A good laugh eased the mind and brought joy in a time of adversity. For example, during that period, Walt Disney was very popular as an animator.

Additionally, towards the late 1930s, films that showed how America was fighting against the Great Depression became popular as well.
