Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Hitchcoc It's cool when something totally original comes along. This is it. To start with, the "human caricatures are amazing." They have eyes that come lose and rattle and the wife is constantly trying to correct them. They play scrabble. She has a seven letter word ready to go. He has all e's and keeps rearranging them. He takes so long, she leaves to vacuum the house. While he is watching a TV show called Sawing for Teens, he dozes off and misses the announcement of a nuclear war. He can't understand the despair and panic in the streets, thinking it is some sort of parade. What seems like pointlessness has a great point for all of us. It is pure existentialism at its best. The absurdity of everyday life is thrown in our faces in every scene. Why don't we do the things that make us happy? Why don't we let love show us the way? Why don't we take chances? Why do we hurt each other with petty complaining?

TheBlueHairedLawyer I was living in New Brunswick when the National Film Board of Canada sent a VHS of animated short films to the Oromocto public library. I borrowed it and watched this one, and it's stayed with me ever since. The plot seems to have no real purpose to it, just two lovable characters arguing over their board game while, unknown to them, the television is broadcasting about a sudden worldwide nuclear war. I'm unaware of whether or not there's some strange message underlying here, or if the fact that both characters look human but can take off their eyes and shake them like dice means anything or was just there for some nonsense humor. Either way, it was morbid and strangely hilarious, the entire cartoon. There doesn't seem to be any environmental or political messages within it, I think it was just meant to be a little black comedy cartoon with the simple plot of, "don't be a snit or you'll always miss what's going on around you, and don't argue all the time because any moment could be your last."

knifeintheeye Man am I stoked I can leave feedback for this 10 minutes romp. I love it.After not seeing it in years, I happened upon it the other day and watched it over and over.'Stop shaking your eyes' and 'shake a rock and roll band' and 'stop sawing the table' are freaking classic lines.The art is delightfully raw. The dialog sparse and wonderful. Just find it and love it. Cannot recommend this enough.Thank you high school art teacher Mrs. Kogan for showing us this over and over. Thank you NFB for letting it be made. Thank you MTS for showing it (for free at the moment at least).I want a Big Snit t-shirt now. I'd love an animation cell, but at 440.00 a pop, that won't happen.Find this flick, and watch it.

Popeye-8 I have only seen this once--in 1986, at an "artsy" theater in Minneapolis...but I remember it like I saw it a thousand times this morning. Hilarious ("Sawing for Teens", playing Scrabble with all "e" tiles), beautifully animated (taking off her eyes, shaking them back into position, then putting them back on), and poignant (the end of the world, the pettiness of a snit)...Required viewing for the human race. Calling this simply a cartoon is like calling THE GREAT GATSBY nifty typing.
