This is just beautiful. The beginning is hilarious and heartwarming. I couldn't believe it when the bomb actually dropped and things got a little more serious. The ending's a bit of a tear-jerker but it is consistent with the message of the film. And the animation is gorgeous.

Few animated films can bring the emotional impact necessary to generate empathy with the audience. Fortunately the subject matter & voice characterizations of 'When the Wind Blows' are so powerful the viewer is reduced to tears by the final moments. Watching a retired couple attempt to understand why the recent nuclear war is so radically different from any previous wars they've endured by reading government-issued pamphlets creates a sense of despair rarely achieved in cinema. Both live sets and animation are utilized to create the sense of place, and incidental music by Roger Waters provides a sweet-yet-sad tone throughout the picture. 'When the Wind Blows' conveys its message more effectively than any other post-apocalyptic story available, and is the sort of film which should be shown to everyone in the hopes that it will encourage a more peaceful future.

dark-humour and fairly disturbing movie tells the tale of Jim and Hilda Bloggs, a middle-class couple whose children have all grown up. Their home is hit indirectly by a Soviet nuclear bomb, leaving it in ashes and barely standing. Jim and Hilda survive by ducking behind a door that Jim set up as an inner refuge. The film follows the pair as they cope with the devastation and humiliation of barely surviving the attack, and as they steadily fall into radiation sickness which will eventually kill them both.

quite a harsh movie really but very well done.

Tragic and Heartbreaking. What starts as possibly a sarcastic look into the lives of an elderly because a naive story that uses animation, claymation, stop motion and live action to full advantage
