	Movies - The Big Snit

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.

It was nominated for the Academy Award for Animated Short Film.

It is the story of a married couple who get into an argument while playing Scrabble. The couple are never given names in the film, but are informally known as Mr. and Mrs. Snit. 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". Barely noticed outside there is panic in the streets.

In the end they reconcile. Just as they step out of the door they are vaporised 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.
