For the day after Christmas, here's Peace on Earth, a 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon short subject directed by Hugh Harman about a post-apocalyptic world populated by animals. 
Not exactly Planet of the Squirrels, but close. It's beautiful, creepy and sad as the animals follow the biblical command to "rebuild the waste places" from human helmets and shell casings.
It was remade in 1955, this time with jets, flamethrowers and rockets, mice instead of squirrels, and the atomic bomb instead of gas warfare.
And so it goes.
