Russian Film of "There Will Come Soft Rains"
There is a sad and somewhat scary Russian animated short film version of Ray Bradbury's classic short story, "There Will Come Soft Rains". The film appears to be from around 1984, as that is the year that appears at the end of the credits. This film had been discussed years earlier on this Board, but it appears the old links to the film no longer work. The link below will take you to the film, which has English sub-titles. While it deviates in some ways from Ray's story, it is still well done and well worth watching. Enjoy!

The link below will take you to another video version of Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains." This version (far more condensed than the Russian version in the posting above, probably due to budgetary considerations) was filmed here in Illinois, and features some excellent background music:

Wow, that first one was very dark and bizarre. Artful. Fascinating!
