Everyone commenting about ww1 and ww2 needs to realize his cartoon was written during the inter war period post ww1, everyone still believed another massive war or a Great War if it happened would be hellishly similar to ww1. That’s why it was shown the way it was, which makes it very interesting to realize and understand the outlook on war pre-ww2.

No politicians were harmed in the making of this war

Holy shit I found it. After so many years of this just sitting in the back of my brain and popping up occasionally, I found it. Got shown this as a kid and it stuck with me

This NEEDS to be on the National Film Registry.

1939 is when this came out. Right before WWII. So eerie to think that the Great War was the war to end wars
-
Still one of the creepiest animations I've ever seen. Mainly due to the music overlapping it. And the imagery

It's easy to imagine the warring factions in this Endkrieg being the Superstates in Nineteen Eighty-Four, fighting each other until the very last man.

This is an art style I'll have to master, amazing style...

"why aliens don't visit earth?" Average human disagreement:

"...and that was the end of the last man on Earth." Cool edit. I remember that cartoon when I was a small child, it scared the hell out of me.

Soundtrack is eerily good
-
0:57 The music fits this part so well that you'd think the music was made purely for this film, it gives me the chills
-
It’s nice to have a palette cleanser after watership down

1:26 actually is menacing to look at. Just walking towards you so slowly. Along with the music.

MGM had a lot of money and they put a lot into their cartoons to try and match Disney and it shows. While never really generating a lasting character like Porky or Bugs, the MGMs are wonderful - not sure if they're commercially available but there are boot sets around for decades - they are well worth seeing in total. 👍

This is how our minds see what entrenched or centaura looks like.

Peace on earth is the only cartoon that ever won a Nobel peace prize

Generals sitting 100Km behind friendly lines: Blimey! Our 85259th attempt failed! Send another one!
