This Ain’t Your Disney Cartoon – When the Wind Blows
This cartoon is not for children; it should not even be for adults as well, but it is a grim reminder of what could have been (and what might still be) if we are not vigilant as civil human beings on this planet. The best nuclear holocaust film since Hiroshima shows us the gradual breakdown of a lovely old couple in the English countryside after a nuclear exchange. It reminds us there are no winners in a nuclear war. The cartoon is described highly inaccurately by IMDB as a comedy. The word comedy and nuclear war should never be used in the same sentence. It is a drama and a tragedy of the highest order. Please fix this outrageous description, despite a few weak attempts at humor by the characters.
Nuclear masterpiece
A fantastic little movie. I read an article which said that the first five feature-length British animations were ANIMAL FARM, YELLOW SUBMARINE, WATERSHIP DOWN, THE PLAGUE DOGS and this one. None of them are meant for kids, certainly not in some instances, and yet all have a streak of quality running through them and perhaps say something about the British character or the tastes of the British public. I came to WHEN THE WIND BLOWS as a huge fan of both Raymond Briggs and his book, with THE SNOWMAN an ever-present favourite since childhood, and this is another sterling adaptation. Murakami uses cutting edge animation technology to keep this single-location black comedy involving and entertaining throughout, the voice performances and animation are excellent, and the juxtaposition of knowing humour and touches of working class life with nuclear annihilation is untouched.
