Animated (not for children)

It is the story of Jim and Hilda, a nice old couple who could be your parents or grandparents. They live out in the country having retired and their life harks back to the glory days in the "last war" and when the government knew best. While the rest of the world is inching towards nuclear conflict, Jim begins planning for the attack in the only way he knows how, he reads the government documents and acts on what they say. When the bomb falls, they survive the initial onslaught; the following days are harrowing for them and immeasurably sad.

A must see!

dinners early this week due to the unexpected circumstances." As the novel progresses their ituation becomes steadily more hopeless as they suffer, for example, from the effects of radiation sickness. The novel ends on an extremely bleak note.

The title is on one hand a reference to a phrase in Protect and Survive — "the radioactive dust, falling where the wind blows it, will bring the most widespread dangers of all" — and on the other a quotation from a traditional lullaby:

Rock-a-bye, baby,

In the tree top.

,

The cradle will rock.

When the bough breaks,

The cradle will fall,

And down will come baby,

Cradle and all.

The book was made into an animated film by director Jimmy Murakami in 1986. The couple's voices are spoken by John Mills and Peggy Ashcroft. The soundtrack consists of songs, many with an anti-nuclear theme, by prominent pop singers and groups, including Roger Waters, Genesis and David Bowie. The film shocked many when it was first released and, although the subject matter and overall plot and tone of the film is extremely serious, because of the naïve nature of the characters, the film does have some aspects of gentle but dark comedy.
