Could not find a trailer, not sure if one even exists, so instead you get David Bowie's themes song.

Nothing like a happy little piece of animation to start the day. This is one of the classics of nuclear holocaust films and I can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to watching it. I remember the graphic novel being in my primary school library and flicking through it once or twice.

The animation is facinating. The low budget is quite apparent, but the mixture of miniature photographed backgrounds and cel animation and stop-frame, as well as video and graphics in some segments is intriguing.

Our two main characters are so frustratingly naive. It's both adorable and annoying. Crumbs! Watching them slowly die of radiation sickness over an hour of animation has its ups and downs.
