People are voting emotionally.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The film is simply not as emotionally involved as the famous animated films from Japan are (i.e. Grave of the Fireflies and Barefoot Gen). Interesting for a glance at 50's animation but not for an informative viewing of the usage of atomic bombs.
At first it's hard to understand what this film is all about, as you see some crudely drawn animals looking up to the sky at some object. Then, people see it as well--and very bad things happen.When this short film began, I was completely unimpressed. After all, the animation was a bit crude--sort of like the drawings of Ezra Jack Keats or Eric Carle brought to animated life. If you are into that, great--but I wasn't. However, I am glad I did not give up on the film, as it had an incredibly powerful message--one you can't ignore or dismiss. In its own way, it gave a super-powerful message about the destruction and futility of nuclear war. Apparently, it was such a powerful message that Peter Foldes' short film was shown on prime time in America--something rather unprecedented. See the film and understand what I mean.
