Saturday Morning Cartoon: Goodwill to Men

In honor of Christmas, I've chosen a rarely seen cartoon:  Good Will to Men, released by MGM in 1955.  This cartoon is a Cinemascope remake of the 1939 cartoon "Peace on Earth."   Both cartoons were nominated for Academy Awards.   This cartoon was an unusual break for the directing team of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbara, who had spent the last 12 years making nothing but the violence-driven "Tom and Jerry" cartoons.  Merry Christmas!
