This adaptation is a lovely look at the lives of 2 'average' London folks who happen to be the parents of the author Raymond Briggs who is best known for The Snowman, a Christmas favourite for nearly everyone.
The story takes you from the couples marriage to their deaths and on it's way, takes you through the history of England from pre World War II on through to the 1970s. On it's way. the atmospheric animation of the second world war is beautifully and tastefully done, and gives one a real taste of what life was like. Anderson shelters, Morrison shelters, The Blitz, the docklands on fire, Spitfires, Doodle Bugs and more. I'd recommend this film to anyone from 9 to 90 and past.
