"About the Thunders" (Greek: Σιγά τους Κεραυνούς) is a Greek short animated film from 1946. The film shows the actions and conflicts of the Olympian Gods (mainly Hera and Zeus) in a comical way.[1] The premiere of the movie took place at the "Cineak" Cinema, in Athens, but there was no success in selling tickets, due to the Greek Civil War.[2] It is the second animated film produced in Greece.[3]

The entire film is not available on the internet, but only a few photos.[4]

The commercial failure of the film discouraged not only its directors, but also other prospective animation creators in Greece.[4][5]
