"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 RemakeIn 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.
