Factual errors: During the nuclear attack, cars can still be seen traveling on the highway. The cars would actually stall due to the electromagnetic pulse that would result from a nuclear attack. Electric and diesel trains would also stall. moreQuotes:
Hilda: The grass looks a funny color.Jim: Yes. I'll pop down to Mr. Sponge’s tomorrow and get some bone meal and dried blood.
Hilda: He may be closed due to the bomb dear.
Jim: What, old Sponge? Heh heh. Miss a day's trade? Oh not him. He'd rather die.

The movie When The Wind Blows will rattle you to your very core.I saw this movie many years ago in the 1980s in a video store, and I rented it.I was absolutely blown away!It starts out so beautifully with the little sweet doddering man and wife couple and their everyday British way of life.The animation was done so well,it made the story seem surreal, but yet so realistic.Their lives seem so simplistic, and then the tension builds.I could not take my eyes off the screen, and I felt so sad when it ended. It is hard to describe the horror and sadness that this film evokes in emotions.I believe that everyone who has their fingers on any nuclear button should have to watch this movie everyday!Maybe then we would get rid of the nuclear threat that is pressing down upon all of mankind.I purchased this video, and every now and then,I watch it.I highly recommend this rare masterpiece.
