Peace on Earth (1939) Peace on Earth is a one-reel 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon short directed by Hugh Harman, about a post-apocalyptic world populated only by animals. Two young squirrels ask their grandfather (Voiced by Mel Blanc) on Christmas Eve who the men are in the lyric Peace on Earth, good will to men. The grandfather squirrel then tells them a history of the human race, focusing on the never-ending wars men waged. Ultimately the wars do end, with the deaths of the last men on Earth, two soldiers shooting each other. Afterwards, the surviving animals discover a copy of an implied Bible in the ruins of a church. Inspired by the books teachings, they decide to rebuild a society dedicated to peace and nonviolence (using the helmets of soldiers to construct houses). It was remade as Good Will to Men in 1955.
