The house, I mean. There's something about the colourful, plastic interior (like a dollhouse) mixed with the animated 2D humans that disturbs me.
It's the same with the 'Protect and Survive' videos. That dreary, lifeless childlike design to illustrate death and nuclear attack. Creepy.

I guess it is a bit creepy but I thought it was quite a nice touch!
I always love the bit where Hilda is cooking sausages. They look really scrummy haha!!
I often drink to make people seem more interesting
Yeah ,the cute animation style of the movie only made things creepier.If they were more realistic or life like it would have been half as terryfying,imo-
shareCreepy house, scrummy food – I could practically smell and taste this film. I also thought the mix of animation and real-life decor was very effective.
shareWell said WarpedRecord! Also the odd humourous touch such as Jim climbing into a used potato sack to test it's protective value lol
These days you have to boil someone before you can sleep with them.
Indeed, and I love Hilda's obsession with her curtains, the couch and the indoor plumbing. Where is that paperboy, anyway? ...
shareHehe yes! And also wanting to plump her cushions in the face of sure devastation! "Oh dear, I've left the cake in the oven" LOL

It's definitely eerie. There's something ~off about it. Anything twisted that happens with cutesy animated characters is always freaky too. I think that's part of the point.
shareIt creeps me out something fierce too. When they're succumbing to radiation sickness, their eyes and mouths start to take on an almost creepypasta kind of look. In fact, I'm surprised there's not a creepypasta based on this movie. The last shots of them shambling around in the bags is nightmare inducing (literally...gave me nightmares), even more so when you think about why they're wearing those bags. As one other user pointed out; they served as their body bags, which might have been the government's intention all along. Makes rounding up the corpses easier.
I thought I could paint it red, but I couldn't find enough goats.
Yeah the animation was perfect for this type of film, creepy and unsettling.
shareI think the animation looked great
shareI really liked the animation. I thought it worked well for this film.
