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.
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

They, & their children, never are. That’s why they are so quick to start such acts of attrition upon the citizenry. There’s big money to be made by body bags en masse. So long as the sense of greed, & entitlement doesn’t drag a war out for too long, & enough veterans don’t come back alive expecting to claim their earned benefits.

@@Aaron067 I honestly can't tell you much about Helldivers and Super Earth . 1984 was a dystopian novel writen by a British author named Goorge Orwell who wrote the book in 1948 during the early years of the Cold War.

And before WW2 he went to Spain as a Journalist to report on the civil war in that country between the Falange(Spain's Fascist party) and the loyalists who supported Spain's Republic. That war lasted three years from. 1936-39. Although he was a loyal Britian during WW2 and definately wasn't found of Nazisim or Fascisim he had never forgotten about Soviet dictator Stalin's non-agression pact with Stalin and most likely doubted the former U.S.S.R. would be very friendly towards the West after WW2.

that's because generals were a much more important asset than the common soldier, their lives are less worth risking. I wouldn't feel safe having an unskilled average Joe taking 1.378th general place after he dies on the frontline
The algorithm gods have deemed me worthy to witness this again after nearly 40 years of it being stuck in my mind. The scene of the soldier being shot and slowly sinking into the mud has been burned into my memory ever since I first saw it as a kid in the early '90s. I thought I would never see this film again.
Back when even shows like _Entertainment Tonight_ taught you things with the great Leonard Maltin talking about and showing classic movies like this one, and the very scene you're describing.
There is something especially terrifying about the soldier encroaching forward at the end. Might just be me but I think its the way hes holding his rifle. Not like a gun, but with both hands wrapped around like a spear. If you're defenseless, that imagery is a primordial fear that goes way back in our evolution id imagine.
It's his pose and slow pacing. Our brains are wired to fear such slow movements because that usually meant our would be predator in the savanah would start charging towards us at any moment.
Actually it's George Santayana [b.1863 - d.1952], who was a popular poet and philosopher in his time. It's from Santayana's _Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies_ (1922), Soliloquy number 25 (Tipperary). It's best known in America because MacArthur accidentally misquoted its source as Plato when he gave a speech at West Point in 1962. It is actually truncated: _"Only the Dead are safe; only the Dead have seen the end of War."_
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. 👍
The fact that the last two humans left on Earth are still fighting each other is terrible. But what I find even worse is that the man who was shot clearly wanted to try and kill the other guy even as he was dying. "If I'm going down then I'm taking you down with me."
Holy crap, I remember watching this a lot as a kid. If I remember correctly, I think this was featured on a VHS tape with a bunch of other short Christmas animations, like one with a toy war that I was obsessed with haha!
@@Kratos18155I finally found the original VHS tape in a box, the VHS tape itself is called "MGM Cartoon Magic", the cartoon you're asking about is called "The Pup's Christmas".
I think this cartoon short, and its remake "Good Will to Man" probably would have been great precursors to 1968's "Planet of the Apes", except it's mice and cute critters instead of apes (actually humans in quite iconically impressive prosthetics). In the opening/closing of the remade short, over the cute little mouse boys' choir singing "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" in a ruined church, I can only hear (and channel my inner) Charlton Heston shouting "YOU *MANIACS!* You BLEW IT UP! Ah, *DAMN YOU!* GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"
Saw this in an archery shop my dad went to when I was about that age. Something so visceral about the gas masked man walking toward you that is forever in the brain of every kid who saw this.
Hell probably doesn’t even begin to describe it, the scars of it even linger to this day, with god knows how much unexploded ordnance and bodies lost still buried on the fields of France and Germany, let alone the landscape changes it wrought like the Lochnagar crater, the result of the biggest man made mine crater ever created by the British in an attempt to gain ground at the Somme.

Back when I was in third grade I remember watching a cartoon war of some sort. The most iconic scene that I remeber is a man dying and then drowning in mud with his hand to be the last to sink. I didn't pay much attention about the cartoon back then and just go on with my life until I saw this cartoon today. Gives me flashbacks and indeed it was the same cartoon I watched many years ago. Its like that gap in my memory that had been asking" what was that cartoon?" had been filled in again after seeing this video 😊
I remember seeing this on TV when I was barely out of preschool (i know, too young) and the image of that soldier sinking into the water has haunted me for years.
Thank you for posting this. I've been looking for the full cartoon and haven't had any luck, but I never realized just how deep it was, especially if it was a children's cartoon.

One of the most profound moments of my childhood was seeing this around 11:3012:00 at night during winter break from school. They always used to show this during the Christmas season at night.
I think looking at this film it made it apparent that dying for one’s country is not such a romantic and beautiful thing. This is peak anti war propaganda in the inter war period and seeing the technology in the film then comparing it to WW2 really hits home how no one knew how advanced and destructive WW2 would be.
El abuelo ardilla le relata a sus dos nietos sobre cómo eran los humanos y de cómo iniciaron una sangrienta batalla entre ellos mismos con sus poderosas máquinas hasta que solamente quedaron dos en la (Tierra), ambos se dispararon entre ellos mismos quedando todo en puro silencio ahí los animales fueron los únicos sobrevivientes de esta mortal guerra acudieron ante el (Señor Búho) que leía un libro de la biblia en una iglesia en ruinas leyendo cada hoja con sus mandamientos más importantes llegando a uno de "reconstruir los viejos tiempos" ; todos los animales del bosque agarraron varias cosas que dejaron los militares para reconstruir sus casas ahí el abuelo terminó de relatar a sus nietos sobre porque ahí (Paz En La Tierra) pero ambos niños se quedaron dormidos decidiendo pasarlos a su madre para acostar los en sus cunas mientras el salía de la casa para dejarlos dormir en paz.
The soldier shot and sinking in a pool of mud and water makes the point how miserable war is. Fighting is only part of the horror a grunt must endure while surviving the weather, lack of food , water, sleep, dirt, disease, and so on. Then during an artillery barrage a officer comes up and orders; "Charge!"
The fact this came out in Dec of 1939 a few months after WW2 started in Sept is haunting. It was obviously written and being animated well before the war started but it must've been a huge downer to release it at the outset of another major war. Crazy stuff.
It is depressing and terrifying. I read about Vietnam and tried to put myself into the shoes of the soldiers while reading their perspectives the sadness it grips you with is horrible, it was called "the things they carried", and the the year after that I took a class on world War one and it was so horrific, people say the second is bad but the first is also since it was before the Geneva convention and before advanced artillery came into play like it did in ww2, I read all quiet on the western front and at the end you feel mentally exhausted, everyone you grew up with dead, your homeland in ruins, people starving and a kid looking at you like "you're one of the heroes that I wanna be like" while the adults think they understand it all while you're a simple fool, making you feel as if your pain is stupid and that they know better than you without ever seeing the field, then you go to your mother to see her sick in bed, you find there's barely any food, you've been starving barely eating much in the trenches for months while your country sadly lays without food for it's people amd your ill mother tells you that she's saved the last of a special food just for you since it was always your favorite as a boy, the room you left as a boy to go to war come to feels so far from you now, the books of knowledge now useless as that kind of life is nowhere in sight, a soldiers life is all you know and now your generation is lost and must rebuild for decades to come. In a way it feels like the world is a prison, the Frontline has barbed wire and men ready to shoot you down, and in the trenches if you disobeyed you'd be shot or court-martialed or both, trench foot, rats, and cruel officers, also the continues bombardments which sometimes causes the new young boys who join the war effort to shit themselves until they're used to it. Back home you'd starve or get killed over scraps and if you're a soldier there on a visit then you just weren't treated the best. Then even after the wars over the damage is still felt for decades after and the trauma is passed down from family to family over generations.
I can't believe I'm only now hearing about this short film. Imagine how the people who worked on this animation felt when another world war broke out only a short time later. Though I'm sure by 1939 most people could see something terrible was brewing on the horizon.
What is great about this cartoon was it was a proper mix of cute with dark. It starts out with cutesy animal characters then breaks into the war where humans wiped out each other, and after the last two humans kill each other the animals emerge from the forests and find an abandoned church. The real thoughtfulness appears at the end with a moving end.
you can see it, as mirred as it is in translation. Those who saw the true face of war, atleast a few of them. Must have been artist on this during the innerwar
Wow the fact it came out the very year WW2 started in Europe really puts into perspective the collective trauma WW1 had and its effect on people’s outlook on the one they were about to fight
Despite the somewhat primitive and rudimentary animation, the excellent stylization, art direction and the hellish colours make this an absolute masterpiece. Truly a flawless depiction of what kind of a hell on earth war really is.
The plane is inspired by the Douglas B-18 Bolo, is an interwar plane (1935). Before the WWII people thought the next war will be the same nightmarish trench warfare, that's what is represented in the film.
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.

The soldier shot and sinking in a pool of mud and water makes the point how miserable war is. Fighting is only part of the horror a grunt must endure while surviving the weather, lack of food , water, sleep, dirt, disease, and so on. Then during an artillery barrage a officer comes up and orders; "Charge!"
They say to bring peace to Earth, they dindt say how
I remember seeing this cartoon as a child. It was a very good one that really got me thinking about how bad war was.
Awakenings always happen with Intuitive Introverts. Keanu Reeves is still going strong. His best Messiah role was in Parenthood with Steve Martin ❤️
This cartoon makes me cry every time I watch it.
Makes me smile...ok that's a little amorous it makes me smile that both were doing their duty

@@Bumchik_db Peace on Earth (1939)
The fact this came out in Dec of 1939 a few months after WW2 started in Sept is haunting. It was obviously written and being animated well before the war started but it must've been a huge downer to release it at the outset of another major war. Crazy stuff.
The Arditi music makes this epic.
Wow considering that this animation came out in 1939 right before ww2 or some, it has some amazing quality and its even interesting to watch
War does not determine who was right, Rather, who was left.
It is depressing and terrifying. I read about Vietnam and tried to put myself into the shoes of the soldiers while reading their perspectives the sadness it grips you with is horrible, it was called "the things they carried", and the the year after that I took a class on world War one and it was so horrific, people say the second is bad but the first is also since it was before the Geneva convention and before advanced artillery came into play like it did in ww2, I read all quiet on the western front and at the end you feel mentally exhausted, everyone you grew up with dead, your homeland in ruins, people starving and a kid looking at you like "you're one of the heroes that I wanna be like" while the adults think they understand it all while you're a simple fool, making you feel as if your pain is stupid and that they know better than you without ever seeing the field, then you go to your mother to see her sick in bed, you find there's barely any food, you've been starving barely eating much in the trenches for months while your country sadly lays without food for it's people amd your ill mother tells you that she's saved the last of a special food just for you since it was always your favorite as a boy, the room you left as a boy to go to war come to feels so far from you now, the books of knowledge now useless as that kind of life is nowhere in sight, a soldiers life is all you know and now your generation is lost and must rebuild for decades to come. In a way it feels like the world is a prison, the Frontline has barbed wire and men ready to shoot you down, and in the trenches if you disobeyed you'd be shot or court-martialed or both, trench foot, rats, and cruel officers, also the continues bombardments which sometimes causes the new young boys who join the war effort to shit themselves until they're used to it. Back home you'd starve or get killed over scraps and if you're a soldier there on a visit then you just weren't treated the best. Then even after the wars over the damage is still felt for decades after and the trauma is passed down from family to family over generations.
Average political debate on Krieg:
"Our bad, sorry. Here's a gazillion mask wearing, shovel bois to make up for our missing tithes."
@@redclayscholar620 real.
I can't believe I'm only now hearing about this short film. Imagine how the people who worked on this animation felt when another world war broke out only a short time later. Though I'm sure by 1939 most people could see something terrible was brewing on the horizon.
Vibes go hard
This clip is my soul
Dam, 6 years after I get this recommended to me. They thought it was an adventure.
What is great about this cartoon was it was a proper mix of cute with dark. It starts out with cutesy animal characters then breaks into the war where humans wiped out each other, and after the last two humans kill each other the animals emerge from the forests and find an abandoned church. The real thoughtfulness appears at the end with a moving end.
It's interesting to note that an inter-war interpretation of tanks was a Mark V with a turret on top.
Indiana Jones style
Mark XI Landship
especially considering the usa armor department was in 1939 very limited with old designs compared to european ones
I remember seeing this as a kid around Christmas time. Very cool
Idk about you.. but jesus.. Pre 1960's war animations just hit different.
Glad to see some people still remember Arditi (RIP)
The movement looks disturbingly human
Like watching the original all quiet on the western front with blurrier picture
This is excellent! Masterful animation
you can see it, as mirred as it is in translation. Those who saw the true face of war, atleast a few of them. Must have been artist on this during the innerwar
No stopping the Death Korps of Krieg.
Bruh i cant stop laughing
GLORY FOR THE FIRST MAN TO DIE!
CHARGEEEE!!!
Nice video about siege of vraks
This soundtrack is giving me serious Metroid vibes. I only ever played Metroid fusion.
I remember when Cartoon Network would randomly throw this into their blocks of Looney Toons and Tom and Jerry.
Amazing
Peace on heart *an Utopia!* 😢
Wow the fact it came out the very year WW2 started in Europe really puts into perspective the collective trauma WW1 had and its effect on people’s outlook on the one they were about to fight
El verdadero ser humano en su estado natural
Fun fact. This is actually a promotional video for the Death World of Krieg as a holiday destination.
This anime smacks
This is a classic American cartoon, not an anime.
@Rix Rax this cartoon is soo old anime dont even existenc back then soo he is damn right

Despite the somewhat primitive and rudimentary animation, the excellent stylization, art direction and the hellish colours make this an absolute masterpiece. Truly a flawless depiction of what kind of a hell on earth war really is.
Oh rhe glorious humanity
I remember seeing this show back when I was a kid.
Damn this man in 1:27 it's look like badass
The way he slowly walks towards the viewer , it feels so menacing
@@danielomar9712 exactly
Blast from the past when I was a year old watching this on vhs
I’m confused on the planes, they seem to be ww2 bombers, but this takes place in ww1? Hmm
The plane is inspired by the Douglas B-18 Bolo, is an interwar plane (1935). Before the WWII people thought the next war will be the same nightmarish trench warfare, that's what is represented in the film.
Raymond Saint thank you
@Malcolm Fuller And it was also assumed that the chemical weapons will be used in combination with strategic bombing campaigns.
My inner child just got a stiffy watching this but misses watching the full version
