''The Crunch Bird'' is a 1971 animated short film by Ted Petok.
A woman looks for a birthday present for her ill-tempered husband. She decides on a pet, but passes up conventional pets in order to get a "crunch bird". The crunch bird is a rather intimidating bird with large teeth that will, on command, chew anything to bits. She brings it home to her husband, with unexpected results.
''The Crunch Bird'' is only two minutes long, short even for an animated cartoon. It won the UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedShortFilm, making it the shortest film to win an Oscar of any kind.

!!Tropes:
* AwfulWeddedLife: Seems like it. The husband rants and complains about having to pay the wife's bills. The wife, for her part, seems to have ulterior motives in her gift.
* ExtremeOmnivore: The crunch bird chews up a chair.
* FeatheredFiend: A bird with a beak full of huge sharp teeth that can chew up anything on command.
* GoryDiscretionShot: The short cuts away as the crunch bird presumably eats the man.
* LineBoil: Present at some points, like when the lines that make up the woman's hair are boiling in the opening scene.
* {{Narrator}}: Tells the story.
* PrecisionFStrike: "Crunch bird, my ass!" The husband regrets this.
