Richard Condie

Richard Condie, RCA (born 1942 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) is a Canadian animator and film maker.

Condie received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Manitoba. Prior to entering the animation field, he worked as a sociology researcher and a social worker. In 1971 he was awarded a grant from the Canada Council, which he used to produce the animated short film "Oh Sure", which was later purchased by the National Film Board of Canada, with whom Condie was to work extensively.

Condie's best known animated work is 1985's "The Big Snit", an offbeat parable about marriage, Scrabble, and nuclear war. "The Big Snit" was nominated for an Oscar and won the Genie Award for Best Animated Short, along with over a dozen international awards. "The Big Snit" was also voted as #25 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time, by members of the animation field.

Condie also co-produced fellow Winnipeg animator Cordell Barker's acclaimed short "The Cat Came Back".

Condie entered the field of computer animation with his 1996 short "La Salla". Condie works and resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts
