Peace on Earth
Two baby squirrels ask grandpa to explain what "men" are when he comes in singing "peace on earth, goodwill to men". Grandpa tells the story of man's last war. This classic animation short was an Academy Award Best Short Subject, Cartoons nominee.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie uses the specific phrase 'peace on earth, goodwill to men' which is intrinsically linked to the Christmas narrative. However, the plot itself is an anti-war allegory set against the backdrop of that phrase, rather than a traditional Christmas story. The primary focus is the critique of war, using Christmas sentiment as a powerful, thematic launchpad. This places it solidly in the 'kinnda' category."
