Also, if you're into the empty feeling of nuclear sadness, check out When the Wind Blows (1986) - it's from Raymond Briggs's graphic novel - who did "The Snowman" and that Santa Claus one amongst other family favourites. Surely a lovely, fun cartoon to watch with the kids!

WARNING: DO NOT ACTUALLY WATCH WHEN THE WIND BLOWS WITH YOUR KIDS (unless your kids are adults)
