only cartoon ever nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize 1939
Peace On Earth, Good Will To Men.
A few years ago I discovered the MGM cartoon Peace on EarthToon Heads. Since then it has been one of my favorite holiday cartoons. This 1939 cartoon was written by Jack Cosgriff, Charles McGirl and Khat Harman and directed by Hugh Harman and is the only cartoon ever nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Before reading any further I want you to watch the cartoon.while watching an episode of the Cartoon Network's
This cartoon was created prior to America's involvement in the Second World War by people who served in the First World War. This amazing story takes you on a journey:
From Cute and Fuzzy,
To Man's inhumanity to man.
To a climax.
To a resolution.
And back to Cute and Fuzzy.
The cartoon was remade by William Hanna & Joseph Barbera in 1955 as Good Will to Men and was also nominated for the Best Short Subjects Oscar.
