USSR animated version (1984): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oxP3TyuQx0
The bird scene at the end where it repeatedly smashes into the window really hit me... something this version does better than the original.
In the video it claims the date is December 31, 2026 at the 4:02 mark. I wonder why the animation changed the date from the short story.
We'll see this post again on that date!
Thanks for sharing. Soviet era animation was creepy in its own right. This adaptation doubly so.
Where'd the Turkey dinner come from if it's a nuclear wasteland?
All joking aside; an excellent animation
I was really expecting this to start with "Hokay, so here's teh ert."
This clip is what introduced me to this story.
This adaptation is heavily modified, but I think it adds to the whole thing. Soviet artists had an uncanny talent for making everything that's unsettling even more so.
