Is Planet 888 safe for children?

Two cosmonauts arrive on a barren world and begin a clean-up operation. In the course of their duties, they revive the planet’s civilisation and discover the real reason for its devastation- thermonuclear war. Produced after the peak of tensions in the late Cold War, this animated short from Armenfilm reflects a muted optimism that humanity might- just- avoid total destruction. It also demonstrates the strength of animation under the Soviet system, where even the smaller state studios were capable of inventive but technically polished work.

This 1985 Soviet animated film likely has calm pacing typical of that era's animation style, though the science fiction theme and post-apocalyptic story may include some moderately intense moments.
