* UrbanLegendOfZelda: There is a long standing rumor that the cartoon was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but this was never the case--the cartoon isn't listed in their online database. The Nobel Prize Committee ''did'' know about the film and liked it, but it never actually got a nomination.

-->"Peace on Earth was a tough one to animate and to write. We shouldn't actually have made that as a one-reeler, we should have made it in about three to five reels. We cut it and cut it and cut it; we didn't cut footage that was animated—nobody in his right mind does that, unless it's bad. But cutting the storyboard and switching around. It has some flaws. I just got tired of it near the end. That's always been a weakness with me, that I get so fed up on it at the end of a picture that I would just as soon turn it over to the Girl Scouts to make. Unless it were a feature that would warrant going on with costs forever. I've observed that as a weakness in myself, that I often end up with a weak, insubstantial ending for a picture."

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Hugh and Rudy planned a feature-length remake of this short in the 1980s, but the idea never came to be.

* CreatorBacklash: While this was one of only three films of Hugh Harman's that he didn't grow to hate, Hugh [[http://www.michaelbarrier.com/Interviews/Harman/interview_hugh_harman.htm stated in an interview]] that he wasn't completely satisfied with how the film turned out, and felt that the film needed to be far longer than it was.
