The dark subject matter offsets the innocent storybook animation, making its daring commentary even more powerful and unsettling.

An extremely heartbreaking, but probably realistic look at an aging couple who finds themselves confused and lost amid the aftermath of a nuclear attack. It deals with the inevitability of decay with some black humor, a haunting score by Roger Waters, and a unique blend of claymation and 2-D cel animation.
