Do you like cute animals? What about scenes of devastation, apocalypse and existential allegory? This cartoon has them all!
"Peace On Earth"
The only cartoon ever nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, this 1939 Hugh Harman cartoon shows a post-apocalyptic world populated by animals picking up the pieces after a war kills every human on earth.
When I get to be the Decider, I'll make sure this is shown on network TV every December. Even if I have to preempt "The Grinch."
(Thanks, Peter!)

Bambi meets the Apocalypse. But didn't you notice a certain irony in the fact that the squirrels were singing, "Peace on Earth, good will to MEN" when there weren't any men left around?
