The Menus and Extra 'making-of' documentary were removed from this when I received it. The movie simply starts immediately upon inserting the disc. The audio and video content is untouched.

When the Wind Blows is an animated film originally released in the United Kingdom in 1986. The film is based on Raymond Briggs' graphic novel of the same name. The film was directed by Jimmy Murakami and it stars the voices of John Mills and Peggy Ashcroft.

left at the end of the closing credits, a morse code can be heard, spelling "MAD". It is ambigious whether mutual assured destruction or insanity is meant by it, though it could be a pun on both.

Peter Hayes, IMDb.com

An elderly couple (Hilda and Jim -- voiced by Peggy Ashcroft and John Mills) -- who have experienced WWII -- prepare for a nuclear war believing every word that the government says and expecting a short and happy outcome should the worst happen.

I have watched a lot of movies and I expect to watch a lot more movies before I am through, but I won't see anything quite like this one. If you think you have seen everything and had everything possible thrown at you from a TV/Cinema screen -- then think again.

When The Wind Blows must be the most disturbing film I have ever seen -- and it is a low budget cartoon with a PG certificate! The movie starts by playing for laughs and introducing us to the daily routine of our elderly couple.They are living in the past and think of war in a kindly way. This is to soften us up for what follows -- and what follows will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Having your emotions manipulated by cinema is nothing new, but this film uses real government information and very real scenarios.

If only more people could see this film and debate the messages it contains we would have a safer and better world.

Another reviewer, IMDb.com

This is a film you will never forget. I watched it as a teenager expecting something soppy and sentimental (it was made by some of the same people who made the Snowman, a Christmas tale featuring the chorister Aled Jones).

John Mills is superb as the male character, his voice carries the echoes of his former glories as hero, officer type and all round good guy. With lavish casting, animation and soundtrack the plot is given a painful intensity.

Instead my family were treated to horror of the worst kind. A horror that deals with ordinary comfortable society. The two lovely elderly characters are my grandparents, my neighbours. We see them crumble and disintegrate in the nuclear aftermath. They prepare cheerfully for a nuclear war and wait helplessly in the fallout for a rescue which will never come.

Don't watch it with your parents, you will cry and be reminded about it for years afterwards.

Yet another reviewer, IMDb.com

This has to be one of the most stunning films I've ever seen.

Although it was ages ago that I saw it, this is one of those rare films that stay with you for years.

A very chilling story of World War III, done in such a way that you can't help love the characters. Based on the UK Government's woefully inadequate how to survive a nuclear war leaflets from back in the 1980s. Such wonderful ideas such as building a fallout shelter from your house doors, or painting your house white to reflect the blast come to life in possibly one of the most disturbing films ever.

The two little old age pensioners take you left through from before to after the war. And I can still see my sister and mom crying towards the end. Radiation sickness is brought to the screen in such a way you just wish that the old dears could end it all now. Yet they endure and the story of their love for each other shines through as the one hope in a World gone mad.

If you've never seen this film, I would suggest you try and find a copy. Forget the Terminator (and others of that ilk) with their flashy bangs and multi million dollar budgets, this film really brings the horror of a possible Nuclear War home.
