Oh this is really cute!!! sure do with I had thought of it. It reminds me of this movie I saw where the whole world is waiting for the world to end and then you see the blinding light of the sun coming right at the earth and swallowing up the people in the movie. Something like that but i totally forgot the title of that thing.
