From Wikipedia - \"When the Wind Blowsis a 1986Britishanimateddisaster filmdirected byJimmy Murakamibased onRaymond Briggs\'graphic novel of the same name. The film stars the voices ofJohn MillsandPeggy Ashcroftas the two main characters.

The film was Briggs\' second collaboration with TVC, after their efforts with a special based on another work of his,The Snowman, in 1982. It was distributed by Recorded Releasing in the UK, and by Kings Road Entertainment in the United States. A subsequent graphic novel by Briggs,Ethel and Ernest(1998), makes it clear that Briggs based the protagonist couple inWhen the Wind Blowson his own parents.

When the Wind Blowsis a hybrid of drawn animation and stop-motion animation. The characters of Jim and Hilda Bloggs are drawn, but their home and most of the objects in it are real objects that seldom move but are animated with stop motion when they do.

The soundtrack album features music byRoger WatersandDavid Bowie(who performed the title song),Genesis,Squeeze, Hugh Cornwell (from The Stranglers) andPaul Hardcastle.\"

The film is a harrowing account of two elderly people following the advice in a government pamphlet on how to survive after a nuclear attack.
