The Big Snit
19859 min 49 secFilm: Animation
Direction: Richard Condie
Production: Richard CondieMichael Scott
Script: Richard Condie
This wonderful wacky animation film looks at two simultaneous conflicts, a macrocosm of global nuclear war and a microcosm of a domestic quarrel, and how each conflict is resolved. Filled with warmth and unexpectedly off-the-wall humour, the film leaves it to viewers to decide which Snit has really been the Big One.
