Does Bart Simpson actually never grow up? And shouldn’t Garfield be a diabetic by now, given how much lasagne he eats?! Where Are They Now? by Steve Cutts is a short animated film looking at the life of cartoon characters facing reality long after the prime of their heydays.
Cutts imagines life of our favourite childhood comic heroes, as if they were living in our present day self obsessed society. The result is humorous and at the same time giving a critical statement about our society we currently live in. Like in all of his works, the illustrator and animator from London, highlight the sad truth about today’s modern world. He has endless material to base his artwork on though: “the insanity of humanity is an endless pool of inspiration.”
