"Good Will to Men" is the Hanna-Barbera remake of the 1939 animated short, "Peace on Earth." When "Good Will" was made in 1955, the world had something it didn't at the outset of World War II: nuclear weapons. The nuclear option instilled fear in people because these new and terrible bombs could accomplish in a matter of minutes what man had yet to do in thousands of years, which is totally and completely destroy itself. "Good Will to Men" shows us, in animation of remarkable quality for Hanna-Barbera, what the world might look like if those fears become reality.
