Tapum! The History of Weapons is the first animated short film by the great Italian director Bruno Bozzetto (1958).
In this witty and satirical cartoon, Bozzetto with light irony tells the entire history of humanity through the lens of the invention and "improvement" of weapons: from the primitive club to modern types of armament and a frightening finale.
Simple but brilliant animation, black humor, and a message about the senselessness of war and the arms race that remains highly relevant even in 2026.
