the ice and the cartoon
Name the story, possibly by Asimov.

A band of humans trudges southward before an advancing wall of ice. They carry a few sacred relics, including a metal cylinder; legend says that opening the cylinder will bring disaster. A day comes when, on the southern horizon, they see another wall of ice.

Skip millennia. The sun's slight cooling allows a technological culture to arise on Venus. A ship from there lands on Earth and finds the cylinder. It contains – to cut to the chase – a Disney cartoon film. —Tamfang (talk) 07:38, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
