There Will Come Soft Rains, 1984 - ★★★½


"Children get ready for school... the cock has long since crowed."
Robot

Nightmarish, thought provoking animated futurshock short from the Soviet Union. Thats based on a Ray Bradbury story from his The Martian Chronicles.

Slightly reminiscent of Terry Gilliams Python/Feldman Show style animation, its about a robot continuing to go through its motions long after fallout from a nuclear bomb has taken out humanity. Worth seeing for its cold war curiosity value alone.
