In the original story, the only remains of the family is imprints on the side of the house that suggested they were playing ball outside. The imprints were caused by the nuclear bombs, of course.

In the original story, the pet dog, which is sick from radiation and covered in sores, crawls its way back inside the house drawn by the preparation of food. The dog barks at the bedroom doors for his owners, but to no avail. The dog then stumbles to the kitchen and begs to the robot for food, but is ignored. Then, the dog goes crazy, foaming at the mouth and bites its own tail. It falls over, dead, while pancakes are served at the table. The story says the house dings for 2:00. At 2:15, the dogs body is gone.

Every difference I found between this animation and the original: In the story, the families bodies were not vaporized in their bed, rather they were vaporized by a bomb in their yard, leaving an imprint of themselves on the wall of the house outside In the original it’s August 4th 2026, rather than December 31st In the original story there was a dog, presumed to be the families dog, that was extremely injured, and found it’s way back inside the house by the smell of food, and after being ignored by the robots the dog foamed at the mouth, bit itself and perished The house had no hazmat suits, it seemed as though the bomb was a complete and utter surprise in the original whereas this one seems like the world was already a nuclear waste land There is no bird in the original story, and no robots ever try to intentionally harm a creature In the original, a dead tree branch is knocked into the kitchen, knocking cleaning fluid on the heated up stove, causing a fire that made the house slowly wither away and eventually crumble in on itself, rather than the robot getting seriously damaged and destroying itself In the original, the robot is the one reading the poem, presumably as it did when the family was still alive, and it’s said that the only part of the house that remained functioning during the fire was the robot reading the poem In the original the story ends with the badly damaged robot repeating “It’s August 5th, 2026” over and over again until it either stops working or gets destroyed by some other disaster

[@jggouvea]

Most people commenting seem to be judging this compared to Bradbury's original story. I believe we can't compare two different forms of art and that certain adaptations are required. Having said that, this is my take on the story. The nuclear war happened on Sunday, so the robot didn't have much to do, remained shut for most of the time and didn't see it. It's the first day it will try to waken the people there, as usual, but they've been cooked into ashes by radiation. The toys have magically remained, though. We know the nuclear war was not long ago because the watches haven't run out of batteries and the eggs are still fresh (not to mention that in order to have fresh eggs they must be bought almost every three days). After it has sent people out to work or school, a bird intrudes through a broken window and is mistaken for a burglar. The robot is programmed to kill burglars because that's capitalism: it's alright to take lives to protect property. Trying to kill the bird the robot accidentally smashes itself against a wall and damages its eyes. Unable to see clearly, it mistakes the house's nuclear reactor lights (which are flashing due to some kind of overcharge or because the radiation detector is malfunctioning) for an enemy as well (when the bird sings). So the robot accidentally rams into the reactor, causing a nuclear explosion that destroys the house, which remained after the apocalyptic bombing. However, part of the backup system still works, keeping the gramophone and the window simulation working. The bird mistakes the simulated window as a way back to normal world and keeps smashing itself against it. This story deviates from Bradbury's original in many ways, but some of its changes improve the setting. The final scene with the bird would have made Bradbury proud, imo.

[@DxBALLxD]

This fucking guy though. It's alright to take lives to protect property? How about it's alright to take as many lives as necessary to reach an ideological singularity as dictated by a small elite, including questioning the morality of reducing literal billions into ashes due to no human nature fitting into that singularity if not lobotomized of free will. Oh wait, that's communism. I think I'll stick with the one that ended slavery, that has comparably the richest lower classes in history and that protects ideas and art's right to be shaped and shared freely.

Clearly the robot would be programmed to attack home invaders in such dark times.

Very different from the story, not just in the details, but most critically in the tone. This makes it seem their lives were pretty grim even before the bombs went off, so there's not really a contrast between the happy-go-lucky life embodied by the automated systems of the house and the horrid reality of the post-nuclear blast world. Despite this difference, it's really well done and looks great, until the robot friend starts punching holes in the place. Especially the way it suddenly ends with an explosion like that, it just feels like the production was cut short

[@diggitydog998]

I agree, just read the original recently and it gave the depiction that this was your average suburban family that fell victim to a sudden nuclear death, with the imprints on the house walls all that This gives off the impression it was a family trying to survive in an already nuclear wasteland and one day it got to them and ultimately killed them, with the hazmat suits and the fact their bodies are now in the house instead of ashes out in the yard

Id always thought that the robot would have a sweet songy voice but this voice sort of suits how lonely this house has become

[@msue62]

There was a BBC radio production of this years ago where the house had a voice just like you just described

[@icantollie]

In the original short story by Ray Bradbury it did. Of course when a Soviet-era animation studio adapted the short story they had to make it grim and foreboding to project their fatalistic sense of hopelessness on the West to distract the Soviet people from realizing that Western countries were in the midst of an economic boom and financial prosperity while the Soviet Union was only 7 years away from its dissolution

[@KittenAndpuppyluv]

This gave me chills

[@Tomswift1234]

I think many people are missing the real point of this. In the original story life essentially goes on after humanity is wiped out, it's a story of how humanity can cease to exist but the world still turns. This is a showcase of how that's not the case, how nuclear war ruins the earth, destroying everything for everyone. There are no happy endings, because the fate of the earth is directly tied to the fate of humanity.

I love this film, but that robot is a menace. As a cat owner, I've had plenty of live birds released inside the house. It doesn't need to result in the demolition of the living room, much less the robot smashing into a wall, blinding itself, and accidentally nuking the neighborhood.

[@user-ln6br5md1q]

Gregory Walpole Don't forget It's a robot, it goes by its programming and sees the bird as a threat Anyway, the world was already destroyed

[@MisterJohnDoe]

It thought the bird was a house intruder. It probably just went full aggro when it didn’t detect anybody else in the room in terms of targeting. It also seems that they were aware of the risk of a nuclear disaster with those hazmat suits on the wall in the bedroom (probably happened in their sleep so they never got to put on the suits), so the security at that time must’ve been full on alert for invaders from whatever they were in conflict with, which may explain why the robot was a little lethal with dealing with our little trespasser.

[@LeSarthois]

My guess is that the movie follow Bradbury's general message : that humanity has separated themselves from nature and live in a deeply unnatural, artificial setting. You can see how everything in the house is literally monotone : the walls are gray, doors, the furniture is gray, the beds are gray. The only touch of colors are the children's toys (and the fact that one is still crawling endless on a wall still reinforce the idea that it is, too, mindlessly artificial) and the grand mother's "place" which is coloured because they are items from the past, including the coloured landscape of the artificial windows. The robot personnify that house, and by extention, this artificial world : he is gray too, and has this unsettling voice - made even more unsettling by the fact that the robot sings (to the children to wake up - at least I'm pretty sure it's singing) he inquires about Mrs McClellan's well-being. Yet we feel as it human because of those traits, and, as his eyes are broken, the organic-looking electronics spilling from his eyes; as many commnts shows, people feel concerned about this robot (which isn't even named, as he insist to say twice). The robot attacking the bird and destroying every part of the house is also part of the message : this humanity has rejected nature, but humans ARE part of nature, so in the end, the robot, that artificial life form, doesn't care about the humans - he's not programmed to recognize humans; he's programmed to do actions that humans must conform to in order for the robot to behave correctly (for example, humans are supposed to stand up when they hear the national anthem... but instead of letting them do, the seats force them to get up.). This of course follow the general lines of Bradbury's sotry and the poem that inspired it - the humans in the house are gone, but the robot don't see it and keep behaving as normal.
