*phoebe buffay voice* happy christmas eve eve! (to those that celebrate christmas)
ok, wow, i did not expect an mgm film to be this bluntly anti-war. and for an animated kid-friendly film too!
and it was nominated for both a nobel peace prize and an academy award??
well it’s def deserving of its accolades and praise. it’s simple, communicates its message well, is well-toned, even with featuring cute anthropomorphic animals. i also loved that it called out the hypocrisy of “christians.”
and the animation is good too! it was a kinda impressive quality-wise for having been released in 1939. i genuinely was glad i watched it upon completion.
peace on earth is for sure underrated and should be talked about and watched more during the holiday season! i might start including on my [mentally-noted] holiday must-watch list, and watch it every year.
in sum, def recommend!
