Making Mars the Red Planet!

[roseembolism]

Courtesy of some guy off the internet, we have something rare and deliriously odd here. It's a 1924 animated propaganda film where a brave cosmonaut liberates Mars.  It's really a surreal mish mash of Flash Gordon style SF, crude animation at the level of Monty Python (and equally as raunchy), and heavy-handed Stalinesque propaganda. 

It really has to be seen to be believed.
