Directed by: Jimmy T. Murakami
Synopsis: Based on the book by Raymond Briggs. Hilda (voiced by Peggy Ashcroft) and Jim Bloggs (voiced by John Mills) are an older couple who attempt to prepare for the onset of a nuclear war and then face the consequences after it starts.
Cartoon Cat: In one scene Hilda is reminiscing about her family’s World War II Anderson bomb shelter and how they grew flowers on it. A flashback sequence shows her as a little girl inside the shelter as a brown cat approaches.
She picks up and hugs the cat.
Final Mewsings: If only cats and children would never need bomb shelters again.
