This was the first ever writeup on ''I'll Return as the Rain''. Up to that point, there was ''nothing'' written about the short except for YouTube uploads.

Added DiffLines:
* AscendedFanNickname: In Georgia, the name ''Tovlis Gunda'' is the colloquial name for the short, much like how VideoGame/PacMan is called "Comecocos" in Spain. ''Tovlis Gunda''[[labelnote:*]]something along the lines of "the balls of snow", i.e. a three-ball stack of snow[[/labelnote]] means "snowballs" in English, and has since become the vernacular for a snowman. The 2018 remake goes by the name ''Tovlis Gunda'', making the name official.
* DigitalDestruction / KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Thanks to a cocktail of absent markets and premature technology, this short was hit with these for nearly two decades.
** Due to Georgian Film Studio's animated output being poorly catalogued in the digital age (along with most Soviet-era media), nearly every Georgian cartoon including ''I'll Return as the Rain'' was hit with a lack of unavailability. Home video of any kind for Soviet media was scarce, and it would not be until the late 1990s that anything would be published; but the damage was already done.
