Award winning short, and listed as one of the top 50 animations of all time. The Big Snit by Richard Conde. Video From The National Film Board Of Canada.
The Big Snit is a 10-minute short-subject animated cartoon written and directed by Richard Condie and produced by the National Film Board of Canada. It was released in 1985.
The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Animated Short Film. In 1994 it was voted #25 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field.
It is the story of a married couple who get into an argument while playing Scrabble. While they are arguing, their cat chews through the power cable for their television, so that they don't notice that a nuclear war has begun.
The husband complains about his wife's habit of shaking her eyes, while she points out he has the bad habit of sawing the furniture from watching the TV show "Sawing for Teens" (the show is interrupted so that the warning can be given). They barely notice that there is panic in the streets.
In the end, they reconcile. Just as they start to open the door, they are vaporized by a nuclear bomb and instantly arrive in heaven. Still unaware of what has happened, they comment on what a beautiful day it is and return to finish their Scrabble game.
