There Will Come Soft Rains - Animated Short by Peter Cotter

There are a million video versions of the poem/short story, There Will Come Soft Rains, but Post-Apocalyptic Forum-member, dwastelander, turned me on to this one, and I thought it was worth sharing.

You'll probably remember that There Will Come Soft Rains was first a poem written by Sara Teasdale in 1920, and that it later served as the inspiration for Ray Bradbury's short story of the same name which details the daily tasks of a robotic house after its inhabitants have died in a nuclear war. In this short animated film, Peter Cotter, spins his take on the story, and I think he does a great job. 

Check out the short below, or head on over to PeterCotter.com to see more of his work.
