Here’s an interesting curiosity of Soviet animation called Interplanetary Revolution. It was written and directed by Zenon Komisarenko, Youry Merkulov and Nikolai Khodataev in 1924, as a piece of propaganda showing how the Soviet revolution drives “blood sucking international capitalists to desperation.” The film’s subtitle is a prediction to an “event very likely to happen in 1929”. Hm. The Wall Street Crash, anyone?

Interplanetary Revolution. A tale about Comrade Cominternov, the Red Army Warrior, who flew to Mars and vanquished all the capitalists on the planet!

Made with stop motion and cell animation, it has been described by one reviewer on imdb as “More a curiosity than a work of art.” I’ll let you be the judge of that.
