Political Animation Films

Aswel as the Animal Farm film i looked at earlier there are a few more political movies that use animation as a form.

When The Wind Blows - When The Wind Blows was created in 1986 by Jimmu Murakami, its all about nuclear war and is set in an old house with an old couple. The couple are the only characters in the film and they are trying to decide which leaflet to go from, one by the government or the one sent by the council, they are very unprepared for nuclear war and the information on the leaflets wouldn't help if a nuclear bomb went off. They end up putting a mattress up against the wall with all there supply's under it. Then a nuclear bomb  goes off and damages abit of there house and things get smashed and when the film comes to an end they slowly die from the radiation.

Waltz With Bashir - This film was made by a guy called Ari Folman and is all about a guy who loses his memory after the war and he goes back and talks to friends and soldiers to try and piece his memory back together. Most of the names and faces are changed and sometimes they are in darkness to stop them being recognized and im sure the voices have been changed also.
