One Christmas, two young squirrels ask their grandpa what the men in the song “Peace on earth, Goodwill to Men” are. Their grandpa weaves a tale of how mankind’s desire to fight themselves ultimately lead to their destruction.
Released: 1939
Language: English
Style: 2D animation
Nominated for an Oscar, but more interesting is suggestion that the short was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize (in books like Jerry Beck's Animation Art); although it doesn’t show up anywhere on the committees list of Nobel Prize nominations in the years around its release on their website. William Hanna and Joe Barbera remade the short in cinemascope in 1955, this new version was titled 'Goodwill to Men'.
