Trivia
According to Mark Cousins in his "The Story of Film: An Odyssey: Episode #1.12", painter Pablo Picasso called this one "the best film ever made."

Alternate versions
For many years, the only copies available were cut by about fifteen seconds - the sequence (about 6:45 to 7:00) with the two neighbours attacking each others' wives and babies was cut out. It was restored in the 1970s from an old print that was not in the best of condition.

Connections
Edited into 50 for 50: Volume 1, Tape 3: Animation: Reflections (1989)

...and a war. after 66 years late, it remains surprising, fresh and fascinating. not only for the mix of stop-motion and live-actin but for a sort of magic who escape from explanations. it is the film who reminds the feelings at the circus show from childhood. and that does it more than amusing. but a trip in time, discovering a real usefull lesson about friendship and the meanings of war. so, a flowe. and two men.
