Step one, establish a belief system. Step two, take your belief system to be true and all others to be false. Step three, kill anyone that disagrees. Don't you just love Society?
The enumerating of the factions seems like a prototype for the Butter Battle Book (which was banned by many schools during the Cold War. We don't want kids to think thta threatening to destroy the world over competing economic systems is arbitrary and stupid.)
@EpicureMammon It's more likely Dr. Seuss got the idea from the Lilliputians-Blevuscidian war in Gulliver's travels, fought over the proper way to crack an egg. Depictions of the great European wars as pointless and arbitrary are hardly a new development.
Still, this film is creepy as hell, especially considering the historical context.
Uh huh. They're all peace-loving and condescending towards us now, but when they need salt to preserve their food and the people two borders over are too primitive to mine it or won't trade it...
... Wow, the scenes depicting World War 1 are scarier than I remember. Wonderful peace of art; as an anti-war animation, it's only rivaled by Grave of the Fireflies.
Whoa... the mama is actually holding the knitting needles the right way! Usually when a character is shown knitting, he or she holds the needles so the knobbed ends point upwards, when really they point down.
@sanjouindacapo Actually, the method of knitting with the knobs up is technically okay. It was developed in the Victorian times as a more ladylike way to knit, but it's harder to do. But it is rare to see knitting done the way it's shown here.
i watched this as a kid, was one of my favorite cartoons. now i watch it and weep when i see the last two men on earth kill eachother, that part gets me everytime
2:32 "As I remember them, they were like... well, they were like monsters! They wore great big iron pots on their heads, carried terrible lookin' shootin'-firin's, and walked on their hind legs--"
It was good right up until they brought up the Bible, God justifies killing enemy tribes/nations plenty of times, and he floods the damn place for shits and giggles.
Granted nobody actually follows the entirety of the bible, and instead cherry picks what the agree with and use the bible to support it, but if everyone did follow the bible we'd be even more fucked than we are now.
@ClipOnSunglasses The thing is, the animals don't appear to have a concept of religion; they're merely using the Commandments as a set of rules to live by (which, isolated from the context religion, could work as quite effective societal rules, anyway). I believe that the Bible would make more sense as a collection of myths and legends than as a religious codex.

You can totally see where this is going: After developing human technology and civilization, the animals also start human wars and eventually wipe each other out.
@leptoceratops Animals too hunt and kill each other. Without any technology. Doesn't matter. Thus man is only an animal with an overdriven brain and technology.
here we go all those intellectual assholes debating about corporations, religions and war .......yo nimrods go take ur arguments somewhere else and let some of us enjoy the cartoon and remember our good old childhood PEACE!!!!!!
@cammy85 I think for us they called it the Bugs Bunny Christmas special, this came on after Popeye's Mister and Mistletoe, and a Bugs Bunny cartoon not Christmas specific but he and a dog fight over who stays in the house one winter night and who goes out in the snow. So in that sense this cartoon didn't really fit but it was always my favorite.
The problem isn't men, its the war-mongering and profiteering corporations that need conflicts to continually fuel their finances. Humans don't have an innate desire to fight, they instead want to raise families and live in peace. Why else does propaganda exist to 'demonize' an enemy? If any of you read Howard Zinn or Antony Sutton you would abandon the idea that warfare is an innate human characteristic. How many of us would want to willingly fight at Verdun, Ypres, Stalingrad, etc?
@JPernam1983 That is so preposterous it isnt even funny. Humans not only are extremely violent BUT in addition to that we "progressed" to become more violent. The 1900s saw more civilians killed outside of warfare than in all wars before 1900 combined. Im not talking about casualties of war. I am talking about mass murder, genocide, etc. Yeah, Im sure that is because of war profiteering, oh wait, im not even talking about warfare.
@blondeviking64 Who do you think drove humanity to commit such crimes against each other? Government initialized propaganda. The idea of finding scapegoats and initiating a pogrom to eliminate them is tied into warfare. The Jews were targeted because many German anti-semites believed that they had conspired to bring the Second Reich to ruin during World War I.
@taximan891 You are way off base here. First of all, we are talking about two different things. The native americans were certainly mistreated and moved "out of the way" but they mainly died from disease and not warfare. We are talking about a government that still officially recognized certain sicknesses as being "an apirition requiring blood letting" as late as the 1870s. There is no way they could have intentionally passed on diseases. They didnt even know diseases existed in the modern sense
The Jews were being mistreated in Germany on a large scale as early as the 1880s. Not only that but they were also being persecuted heavily in Spain, Russia and elsewhere. In fact the US was aware of the holocaust during the war and still would not accept any liberated refugee Jews from concentration camps. In reality the Jewish people were being persecuted consistenly for several hundred years. In WW2 it was based upon the science of eugenics, the idea you can breed better people. Not war.
Armenians were targeted by the Young Turks because they believed that sect was conspiring towards the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The Native American populations of the United States were almost comprehensively annihilated because of the US governments 'need' for expansion from coast to coast. The countless African genocides that have occurred are due in part to political instability fostered by post colonialist principles.
So in the long run, it is not societies, resources or ideologies that causes wars - It is individuals who exploited social hatreds, resentment and fears and give it a cohesive force, drive men to do unspeakable atrocities and conflict unknowingly in their names. If we must end war, we must reengineer society from the ground up, so that conditions that would inspire fear and hatred, and leaders that give them cohesive force, would never emerge.
Another: Germany in the 1930s was a boiling pot of political and social tensions - Germany's defeat in WWI, its economy ruined by the Great Depression, the distrust of the Weimar gov and democracy, fears of a Communist uprising, inherent discrimination against Jews and Non-Aryans and foreign cultures. Normally Germans won't hurt a fly, but Hitler came, and it only took him a few years to turn Germany into a hate-filled military superpower that almost took over Europe and killed millions.
Consider - The French Revolution was a good thing originally - The repressive French monarchy and its reactionary establishment was overthrown, and great Enlightenment ideals were being introduced. Yet, the people in their hatred turned against anyone they believe were against the Revolution. Leaders like Robespierre emerged, exploited this trend, and in Reigns of Terror thousands died, guilty or innocent. The end product was Napoleon, who would plunge Europe into 20 years of disastrous war.
@TheVoiceOfReason93 Incidently, the poor downtrodden citizens of France not only didn't benefit from the French Revolution, they became even poorer. They simply exchanged one ruling class for another. The first was uncaring. The second terroristic.
Things could had improved, and it didn't because of the demogogues and radicals that emerged during that turbulant period, turning the new society to their twisted image. The revolution isn't something to be feared, but welcomed - its the end product people in power that we should be worried about. Just like Russia in 1917 - Russia could be turned from Tsarist tyranny to Russian democracy, had not for the Bolsheviks.
Most men would be appalled by concepts of war and conflict, but all men have the same human flaws that would turn them collectively into psychos who are willing to put millions of people to death out of simple fear. But they won't manifest unless there's some form of crisis awakens these savage instincts, and all it takes is one man, one power hungry, selfish, manipulative Sociopath, to step in to guide this sentiment against people they hate. And next thing you know, missiles fly everywhere.
Anyway, the problem is not with religions, ideology, resources, or even men - the problem of conflict, both on the battlefield and society, is Individuals.
@bobsmedoggy Yes I do, your essentially saying yin and yang. the opposites of everything.
However your trying to mix and match two teachings that just don't match...they sound like they would but using the example I put down, disproves it :) so thank you for questioning me but it's you who is not looking at what I say very well.
wow this is as even more haunting than The Animatrix first volume - the one with the flashback. Another cartoon like this to watch is "When the Wind Blows" a BBC thing
@TheParanormalMe too! I saw it 50 years ago and it has stuck in my head ever since. It was just by chance that I did a keyword search for it in Youtube.
When Jesus Christ returns to Earth, He will bring "true" peace to this world, where sin will no longer bring anymore destruction to us believers of Christ ever again.
@peptob Shut up you lying jerk! I am not living a lie and there is a God weather you believe it or not! Right now its "war and peace" on earth right now. And this "setback peace" does make an sense to me. So mind your own business. There will be a new Heaven and a new Earth someday. And those who follow Jesus and Him alone will be reward with eternal life.
@626joshua I think you're right, when he comes the peace comes with him, well, i think its better call to the home of that asshole and say it: come here for one fucking once!, I'm running out my patience!, sir your god is a sadistic voyeurism
@CAMPUSHISPANO What the heck does that mean? "Sadistic voyeurism?" I don't know when Jesus will return but all I do know is that He is coming sooner than ever. And another thing, watch your language because hate it people are using bad words like that. I don't mind the words "Shut up," "dang it," or "darn it."
And the rest of us, even for a little mistake such as forgetting to return a book (qualifies as stealing), or not believing in God (despite doing only good things in life) are doomed to burn outside the city for eternity, as par Bible
@iceshard24 Yep, that's what I always took from this old cartoon, as well. You want peace on Earth? Kill all the humans. The sad part is, that it's probably more true than anyone would ever care to admit.

In the last Korean war, the death toll was over 1,190,000-1,577,000. Do we really want people in other countries to do things like that again? There were many horrors there. Now that we have nukes, missiles, and advanced weaponary, just think of the death toll for a second? Copy and paste this around to other videos. We can't let this happen
Plz copy and paste this. I have a good friend who lives in south korea. hes really worried about what would happen to his country. A very beautiful place
War is hell. But sometimes necessary. But I think instead of condemming those that fight in them as many people do we should rather do all we can to help them either while they are fighting or after they get back. They are the ones who get the bucket of crap so why not help them us that bucket as fertilizer.
@Gmancrap What if it is to stop a genocide? There are many factors for which war is necessary. It is hell but look at iraq. Millions of people are being introduced into medicines that can save their lives or learning that just because they are from a different tribe it doesn't matter. Yes iraq has been horrible but more people focus on the far smaller bad than the exponetionally greater good that is happening and will continue to happen because of the western influence.
First of all where did you get "Millions of people are being introduced into (that makes no sense) medicines" from? If you could link me to that, that would be grate.
Now, its easy to say to stop genocide. But who has ever stopped a genocide? We certainly haven't. I mean to tell you the truth I can't thing of any other good reason to fight a war besides perhaps genocide.
Also, what is this abstract concept of a "Grater good"? Every one fighting things they are fighting for a "Grater good".
@Gmancrap One thing I've noticed about people who make a big deal out of missing one letter while typing which is the most common typing mistake and they know what you meant they are usually jack-asses who have a holier than thou personality. Not saying you're that though. But in a sense we did slow down the holocaust in WWII. everytime we took back a country we usually stopped on concentration camp from operating. And yes we did for the most part introduce them to medicines.
I remember watching these old Cartoons with my Grandpa. He's still alive thankfully but we can never seem to find them anymore when we're both bored. I always loved this one.
And given the nature of most animals, the next thing we know, the cute critters in the story would start fuzzing each other over which walnuts are better, and then the whole debacle would happen all over again.
@pleeppleep Holy shit, that means Porky Pig is just a hyper-evolved superpig that now exists long after humanity has died out. However, he learned to speak English from books he found, albeit with a chronic stutter. Sylvester the Cat is just a feline he found sitting around.
I've been searching for this cartoon for years, ever since I was a kid I always wanted to know the name of this cartoon and see it again. : ) Thank you for posting it up.
The ultimate irony of this cartoon is that everyone involved in its production totally ignored its message a mere three years later and went on to produce multiple wartime cartoons.
So just because a dangerous mind control system was created by men, the system itself is not worthy of criticism? This is what we call a fallacy. Should we just abolish men instead of their bad ideas? Do squirrels plan conquest and genocide? Or do they perhaps lack some of the motivations we invent?
@billhicks8 No bro thats not what I am saying at all. Its men that are at the seed of the corruption of religion and war. Yes animals do lack the hateful soul of the things we invent thankfully.
Yeah but now you've ended up where you started with the exception that you've now conceded that religion can be corrupt, thus you can also see it would be far more useful to discuss the need for religion than it would the need for man. After all, everything could be as reducible: It's not Nazism -It's man, It's not nuclear engineering- It's man. But these issues are all worth criticism, and it is of greater worth and result to do so.
Did I ever say otherwise? Man can be corrupt, but also generous or even selfless. It all comes down to the choices an individual makes and the ideas they inspire. If they inspire negative concepts and try to coerce others into believing them, then those concepts should be criticised by the more pure in intent. This is more productive than simply blaming your human nature which is something worth noting but nothing more.
This short was made before questioning religion became in vogue in the U.S. At the time you would've been thought to be quite a mean-spirited person to make a habit out of the Bible's contradictions (some parts of it promoting good will to men, and others promoting the slaughter of all heathens). To be honest, I would have to agree that to found their whole civilization on things they read in the Bible may cause a lot of trouble for these animals later.
3/4 of a century later, the central moral of this classic cartoon still rings true today...

We are talking about a government that still officially recognized certain sicknesses as being "an apirition requiring blood letting" as late as the 1870s. There is no way they could have intentionally passed on diseases. They didnt even know diseases existed in the modern sense

The Jews were being mistreated in Germany on a large scale as early as the 1880s. Not only that but they were also being persecuted heavily in Spain, Russia and elsewhere. In fact the US was aware of the holocaust during the war and still would not accept any liberated refugee Jews from concentration camps. In reality the Jewish people were being persecuted consistenly for several hundred years. In WW2 it was based upon the science of eugenics, the idea you can breed better people. Not war.

@blondeviking64 Jews were also straight up banned from England for like 300 years.

Armenians were targeted by the Young Turks because they believed that sect was conspiring towards the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The Native American populations of the United States were almost comprehensively annihilated because of the US governments 'need' for expansion from coast to coast. The countless African genocides that have occurred are due in part to political instability fostered by post colonialist principles.

So in the long run, it is not societies, resources or ideologies that causes wars - It is individuals who exploited social hatreds, resentment and fears and give it a cohesive force, drive men to do unspeakable atrocities and conflict unknowingly in their names. If we must end war, we must reengineer society from the ground up, so that conditions that would inspire fear and hatred, and leaders that give them cohesive force, would never emerge.

Another: Germany in the 1930s was a boiling pot of political and social tensions - Germany's defeat in WWI, its economy ruined by the Great Depression, the distrust of the Weimar gov and democracy, fears of a Communist uprising, inherent discrimination against Jews and Non-Aryans and foreign cultures. Normally Germans won't hurt a fly, but Hitler came, and it only took him a few years to turn Germany into a hate-filled military superpower that almost took over Europe and killed millions.
TheVoiceOfReason93 10 months ago
Consider - The French Revolution was a good thing originally - The repressive French monarchy and its reactionary establishment was overthrown, and great Enlightenment ideals were being introduced. Yet, the people in their hatred turned against anyone they believe were against the Revolution. Leaders like Robespierre emerged, exploited this trend, and in Reigns of Terror thousands died, guilty or innocent. The end product was Napoleon, who would plunge Europe into 20 years of disastrous war.

@TheVoiceOfReason93 Incidently, the poor downtrodden citizens of France not only didn't benefit from the French Revolution, they became even poorer. They simply exchanged one ruling class for another. The first was uncaring. The second terroristic.

Things could had improved, and it didn't because of the demogogues and radicals that emerged during that turbulant period, turning the new society to their twisted image. The revolution isn't something to be feared, but welcomed - its the end product people in power that we should be worried about. Just like Russia in 1917 - Russia could be turned from Tsarist tyranny to Russian democracy, had not for the Bolsheviks.

Most men would be appalled by concepts of war and conflict, but all men have the same human flaws that would turn them collectively into psychos who are willing to put millions of people to death out of simple fear. But they won't manifest unless there's some form of crisis awakens these savage instincts, and all it takes is one man, one power hungry, selfish, manipulative Sociopath, to step in to guide this sentiment against people they hate. And next thing you know, missiles fly everywhere.

Anyway, the problem is not with religions, ideology, resources, or even men - the problem of conflict, both on the battlefield and society, is Individuals.

In the last Korean war, the death toll was over 1,190,000-1,577,000. Do we really want people in other countries to do things like that again? There were many horrors there. Now that we have nukes, missiles, and advanced weaponary, just think of the death toll for a second? Copy and paste this around to other videos. We can't let this happen

War is hell. But sometimes necessary. But I think instead of condemming those that fight in them as many people do we should rather do all we can to help them either while they are fighting or after they get back. They are the ones who get the bucket of crap so why not help them us that bucket as fertilizer.
It's a metaphor people.

@Gmancrap What if it is to stop a genocide? There are many factors for which war is necessary. It is hell but look at iraq. Millions of people are being introduced into medicines that can save their lives or learning that just because they are from a different tribe it doesn't matter. Yes iraq has been horrible but more people focus on the far smaller bad than the exponetionally greater good that is happening and will continue to happen because of the western influence.
indoorin 1 year ago
First of all where did you get "Millions of people are being introduced into (that makes no sense) medicines" from? If you could link me to that, that would be grate.
Now, its easy to say to stop genocide. But who has ever stopped a genocide? We certainly haven't. I mean to tell you the truth I can't thing of any other good reason to fight a war besides perhaps genocide.
Also, what is this abstract concept of a "Grater good"? Every one fighting things they are fighting for a "Grater good".

@Gmancrap One thing I've noticed about people who make a big deal out of missing one letter while typing which is the most common typing mistake and they know what you meant they are usually jack-asses who have a holier than thou personality. Not saying you're that though. But in a sense we did slow down the holocaust in WWII. everytime we took back a country we usually stopped on concentration camp from operating. And yes we did for the most part introduce them to medicines.

Because the majority of the people in Iraq has had the smallest of forms of medicine if any at all used on the entire population.

So just because a dangerous mind control system was created by men, the system itself is not worthy of criticism? This is what we call a fallacy.

Yeah but now you've ended up where you started with the exception that you've now conceded that religion can be corrupt, thus you can also see it would be far more useful to discuss the need for religion than it would the need for man. After all, everything could be as reducible: It's not Nazism -It's man, It's not nuclear engineering- It's man. But these issues are all worth criticism, and it is of greater worth and result to do so.

Did I ever say otherwise? Man can be corrupt, but also generous or even selfless. It all comes down to the choices an individual makes and the ideas they inspire. If they inspire negative concepts and try to coerce others into believing them, then those concepts should be criticised by the more pure in intent. This is more productive than simply blaming your human nature which is something worth noting but nothing more.

To be honest, I would have to agree that to found their whole civilization on things they read in the Bible may cause a lot of trouble for these animals later.
