Animonday: The Big Snit

Hello, welcome to the re-branded Found Footage Friday as Animonday, now dedicated to animation, especially animated shorts. FFF didn’t really work out, there were never more than 10 comments not counting my own, but everyone loves cartoons, right? This will be a showcase for cartoons slightly outside the mainstream, animation you might not otherwise have seen.

I’ll start out with one of my personal favorites from Canadian animator Richard Condie. You might know him from his hilarious The Cat Came Back cartoon, but The Big Snit from 1985 is his masterpiece. A 10-minute Oscar-nominated film about Scrabble, sawing, marital strife and nuclear Armageddon. Enjoy!
