"Peace on Earth" and "Good Will To Men"

ToonPub is getting into the Christmas spirit.
What do you think of the new banner. More details will be added soon. But this is what we have so far.

Well, we're exploring Peace on Earth and Goodwill to men! :)

What does it take to have peace on Earth? When will man finally practice what he preaches? "Peace on Earth" explores this subject with a short cartoon starring cute woodland creatures telling a story of an apocalypse.


Screen Capture from "Peace on Earth"

After singing a modified version of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", two young squirrels ask their Grandpa what "men" are from the line in the song "Peace on Earth, goodwill to men". His grandpa goes on to tell an apocalyptic tale of how the extinct race called "men" had continued to war until every last one of them were killed. Now the world is only populated by animals. These animals have learned from negative example of man and the positive message found in a "rule book" in the rubble of a Church. The rules they read are "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself". 

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Peace on Earth" was directed by Hugh Harman and made in 1939. Keep in mind that this was post-World War I and heading into World War 2.

1955 Remake

In 1955, William Hanna & Joseph Barbara directed a remake of "Peace on Earth" called "Good Will to Men". This is the same story but more preachy and showy.

The setting this time is in a Church's ruins with the story being told by the chorus master to the mouse choir. The flashback story shows updated weapons that are a little more horrifying than the original.

Something to note is the use of two different types of animation; First, the traditional 2D animation, and then during the war scenes, they used rotoscoping (tracing frame-by-frame over live-action movement from film).

"Peace on Earth" shows us how the woodland creatures achieved their little utopia building on the ruins of mankind. Wouldn't it be great if we could all work towards peace on Earth and really get into the spirit of Christmas before the cute furry animals take over?

How YOU can Submit Animations and WebComics to ToonPub

Now You Can Be Part of ToonPub!

Want more people to see your animations and webcomics? Then become part of ToonPub! We've opened up our blog so you can share your animations more easily. Just send us the embed code, and a small description of the video along with suggested tags or categories by e-mail to 

We'll review it, and if it meets our fancy we'll post it! 

Note: by sending the video and blurb to us, you give us permission to edit any content, titles, tags, blurbs, etc... 

How to Send your Post to Toonpub.com with some Advanced Options

Using these will help us decide if your video will be featured or not:

Sending a GoAnimate Video Coady: I Yam What I Yam; by E-mail to ToonPub

Title

In the subject line, write the title of your post/blog: Coady: I Yam What I Yam

Tags and Categories

The Posterous Blog is searchable. The easiest way to search for your favorite types of videos is to simply click on the tag (or category) that you'd like to see. For example; if you want to see videos that may make you laugh, click on "funny videos". To add tags to your post, you'll need to add something like this: ((tags:Coady, animated biography, GoAnimate))

So my subject line in my e-mail would look like this: Coady: I Yam What I Yam ((tags:Coady, animated biography, GoAnimate))

Properly Formatting the Embed Code


In the body of your message write your blurb and paste your embed code. 
We suggest parts of the code that are highlighted RED to be deleted before you send us your GoAnimate video.
The numbers highlighted in GREEN can be changed to 600 and 420 respectively to have the largest possible video that will fit in the blog. 

This is Coady's silly, somewhat ironic video about himself. He's so conceited, isn't he? :P

Singing in the Rain with Cognito

Here's a great video by a new user. I think she really caught the feel of this video. Great use of the Stick Figure theme of GoAnimate. This video will have you smiling. :D

The sets are fantastic. You can tell she really put a lot of thought into what the video was going to look like and how it was all going to work out. 


Doesn't it just make you feel like going out and singing in the rain yourself?

Winner of the Animator Dominator Title Pandaboy vs Ryco

The Dark Lord of Death by Ryco

And the winner is...

TAD Winner Announcement by etourist

Ryco by a hair! etourist (aka The Extraordinary Tourist aka TET)'s charming animation announcing the winner was also based on a GoAnimate forum where we joked that RoTV would win even if he didn't enter. This was almost true considering most of the animations in the contest featured RoTV.

Ryco's "Dark Lord of Death" video was inspired by a thread in GoAnimate's forums, where RoTV suggested that Ryco may not be that evil because he owns a "Hello Kitty" collection. to which Coady retorted something to the effect of "I think his collection just proves how evil he is".

Ryco's animation winning TET's contest seems fitting considering it was TET, master of turning forums into animations, who was holding the contest. TET had won the previous Animator Dominator contest with

This was just about as good as the movie. I think they forgot all the cheesy love lines. Although, I'll take the princess kicking Anakin over the cliche lines anyday! lol.
