True, like bro we aren't creatures attached to our phones 24/7, maybe these are TikTok users but we all know only braindead kids use TikTok. So yeah, it did portray some problems but in an exaggerated way
Yeah, I get online dating is bad, and animal cruelty, and the bullying clout, even if it's not as exagerated and really is just 0.1% of the world population, it's still thousands that wish death upon someone for doing something they don't like. But this could have been handled better.
Technology is inherently morally neutral, the phone is as much the same as the axe, the pen, the chisel or the book: what they actually do is up to *you*. You could use a axe to cut down a tree or someone's head off their neck. You could write with a pen a great book on self-help or on spreading lies about someone you dislike. You could carve with a chisel a beautiful statue or break apart rocks in a penal colony. The point is to see the phone as just another tool in the ever-growing toolbox of mankind, you may choose to use it wisely or you may choose not to. It is completely up to you. (for more on the topic of technology & morality read Aldous Huxley's book Brave New World)

Ngl, the part where the girl was driven to suicide definitely hit hard because that is a VERY legitimate and serious issue with social media and how easy it is to become a victim of harassment. Also, the part of the depressed lady using her phone to project a false image of herself and her home life was also somewhat okay depiction of, yet again, a very legitimate problem with social media. Unfortunately, this video tackles those issues as subtly and effectively as using a hammer to break open a water bottle.
You know, probably nobody is gonna read this, but I used to be a big fan of Steve Cutts. Then I stopped watching when I realized that they are as vapid as the problems he addresses. In this animation, his solution to the problems faced by modern society essentially boils down to "you should feel sad :(" or "put down the phone and listen to nice guys." But there's one that, in hindsight, is extremely fucked up. In one of his first pieces, "In the fall", a man falls off a building and crows essentially give him a summary of why his life sucked. And thusly, he stops fearing death and in fact seems to embrace it. Not only is the point so hammered in that its comical, but like... could imagine showing that to someone with suicidal tendencies? "Oh yeah bro, your life sucks and death is a preferable alternative at this point." Regardless of what you think about the work, its hypocritical to post something like only to around and go "society suxs bc iphone make woman jump off building." When most of his works have the message "it's your fault, be sad about it" at best and "kill yourself NOW" at worse.
I've always been so mad about how when people talk about awful animations, this one never comes up. Thank you. Worth noting that although everything else Steve Cutts has done is on about the same level, he did do one (1) good animation called "a brief disagreement". It's about as subtle as everything else he's made, but it makes up for it by being genuinely funny.

I actually saw this animation at school once. I was embarrassed at the fact they actually chose it, but I actually agreed about the commentaries I, my classmates and my teacher made after we saw it. We talked about people weren’t using technologies pretty well and that they could use them better, not about the technologies were evil themselves, and so I felt relieved.

@averageartist1101 yea I feel like older generations always blame new ones, for example there's nothing wrong about people using phones, it's just a part of modern society yet the animation we watched made it sound like the end of the world
Said same thing about tv back in their time, “too much tv will rot your brain” was a common phrase till the iPhone came out, nothing is new under the sun, times change but people often don’t, they could but just don’t.
As a someone who studies old 30s jazz and cartoons I’ve seen the art style of my life destroyed in front of me, this is an insult to my profession and me Edit: I looked at the original animation and it turns out there’s traced animation from the 1932 cartoon “Bimbo’s Initiation”
i love that he has an '"and then everyone clapped" reddit moment just to reveal it was in his moment and he just stood there thinking of how to score upvotes and how cool everyone would think he was for slapping a bigot. For an animation about people being addicted to tech, that's probably the most "Addicted to tech" thing accurately portrayed, fantasizing scenarios to brag about online for attention.
Phones and social media are something I myself find rather disturbing (I mean, they're literally designed to give your brain an addiction to it), but this guy literally is projecting all the problems that DON'T have to do with phones onto them. How do you fail this badly when making an animation?
Yes I completely agree, my teachers used to play this goddamn animation almost every single year and then made me write an essay talking about ThE DoWnFaLl oF HuMaNiTy
I love when teachers think that subjecting students to this crap is gonna change them, but in the end they obtain the literal opposite result and no one gives a f lol best feeling ever
@@mikadosannoji553if he will stop using his phone (even if he gets lost or kidnapped and has to call someone to save him) he will solve world hunger and pollution
This animation perfectly captures how those “we live in a society” guys are the first to point out what’s wrong but always watch things passively and never do jack shit to make an improvement.
There is one part of the animation I unironically like. People lined up in a landfill, looking upon a glowing, yellow, happy creature that is so clearly a Pikachu. I imagine Steve decided to make the Pikachu glow to be like the other non-real things in this animation that too have color. But the little, happy Pikachu, with a nice yellow glow to combat the surrounding colorless world, looks more to me like it could also represent a small beacon of joy for a dark wasteland. The internet _can_ be good, you just have to actually look for it. Like walking in tall grass in a Pokemon game, looking for a Pikachu to keep by your side. Sometimes it takes only minutes, sometimes hours, but it does exist, and you can't find it if you never try at all.
This is the most relatable thing i have ever seen because when im in school i get the same bullshit lesson about "sCrEeNs ArE bAd" like im not glued to a computer trying to do millions of assignments all day long
I like how the message of the animation is supposed to be “technology is taking over our minds let’s all work together to make this stop” but no the animator just became everyone’s laugh box 🤣
I don't know if it's the fact that the messages of these animations are ridiculously shallow but still get a lot of praise, the fact that everything is so on-the-nose it almost feels like propaganda or the fact that most of Steve Cutts work seems to revolve around blaming the new generations for problems they literally didn't create, but for some reason whenever I see someone complimenting Cutt's animations I get so unreasonably peeved... As an animation student I get legitimately frustrated when I see people treating his elementary school levels of social critique and lazy at best animation style as revolutionary and profound
At risk of sounding overly cynical, I can't help but feel like the extreme shallowness is intentional - he's made social commentary that goes down like a smooth pebble. Everyone can agree that phone addiction, harassing women and fuckin filming someone committing suicide are bad things, but the man managed to repackage completely stale, inoffensive (at face value) critiques as biting and impactful. In doing that, he's minimised the amount of people who'd be offended or otherwise won't get it. It's not a creative failing, it's a shrewd marketing decision.
@@Colddirector this actually makes a lot of sense. There's a lot to criticize in Cutts' work, but he definitely knows what he is doing. He knows his target audience and he knows how to design a successful viral video. His videos feel soulless and preachy because they were created with the sole purpose of being universally understandable, and they achieved that goal. I'm from a non-English speaking country, and even I remember seeing these videos in class and in some older relatives' Facebook pages
This animation actually proved something very deep but the problem is they never really concern much about phone. Animators added lots of abuse and simply put the blame on phone. Such type of reasons is why most of people hate people who's against phone using
Steve Cutts probably has to be one of the most idiotic "artists" this generation has to deal with. The way he executes EVERYTHING in this video is so disrespectful to people who suffer these problems IRL that it actually hurts.
if an artist fails during his time, it's probably because they were right to me! i don't understand why there is so much hate to someone trying to adress problems society faces more and more everyday, in their own way. maybe you guys felt aimed at? except for saying " oh this is sh.t, damn this is idiotic, damn bro that's so dumb ", i think the one idiotic was justmehabibi, and people like you. not explaining why, but simply hating without develloping. but guess i'm the one who's wrong for saying this huh? i should just blindly hate on someone 10 years later because " huuuh cringe huuuuh ".
@@fenenenenko Tell me, was the world any better before we had phones? Do you honestly believe that things such as Suicide and Sexual harassment didn't exist before phones? Do you think that this animation is thought provoking, even though the only message it seems to get across is that the kid wants nothing but attention? No. There is no solution, there is no reason. This animation only exists because Steve Cutts is a whiny emo little prick who thinks that humanity is nothing but bad, and he completely ignores all of the great achievements we as a society have made. I don't feel targeted at all, I feel like he's a dumbass. Mainly because people like you and him are too stupid to accept reality and think that everything is bad and there is no hope.
@@fenenenenko What is he addressing? He literally offers nothing except for, "PHONE BAD! GIVE ME ATTENTIONNNNNNN!!!! I WOULD DO GOOD IN THE WORLD IF I GOT ATTENTION FOR DOING IT!!!!!!" Maybe if he actually had an ending that, I don't know, had everyone putting down their phones, interacting to everyone around them, sunshine, rainbows, daisies, everybody getting rich, w/e, it would be addressing something more than some hollow, "I'm a nihilist, and this is deep," animation. This shit is unrealistic as well. I very rarely, if EVER, observe someone staring at their screen longer than a few seconds to a minute unless it is during a time like on a bus, or tram where people are watching videos or shit to pass the time instead of looking like a busy body bothering other people going about their day.
@@fenenenenko I dislike this video because it portrays its message in an unrealistic, overblown way. Also the animation sucks. Also also, someone disliking something doesn't mean they feel aimed at. It means they dislike it.
As much as I am a avid follower of Nihilism, I agree that teaching others to hope and grow and evolve as a species is far more important. Animations like these may call attention to pressing subjects but it can indeed be harmful and even make people apathetic towards said subject. I believe Dr Suess's the Lorax captured it the best. You all know the ending quote.
The part that makes it feel the most off to me is the robotic tweening paired up with the 1920's artstyle, since usually animations from that era look lifelike, and fluid. And sure, while it does look fluid, it's lacking any sort of life, and fails to express emotions and feelings in the same way that an animation actually from that time would.
@@wantedbird55srandomchannel28 For me, the Enchanted Portal's "rubberhose animation" feels like a Disney Channel/Disney XD cartoon (like The 7-D) than an actual rubberhose cartoon.
@@super-toast-system They thought they can pull of rubber hose in flash. That should be enough to tell you that this person didn't know what the hell they were doing, at least at that point in time. And I know there have been cartoons that have been using puppets to pull of this animation style but those were made in Toon Boom, which allow you do do squash and stretch, unlike Flash.
Fun fact: this animation was the visual for a music video before it was stolen by those Phone Bad Book Good folks. Still has the subtlety of a brick much like every single animation Steve Cutts has done.

This animation perfectly captures how those “we live in a society” guys are the first to point out what’s wrong but always watch things passively and never do jack shit to make an improvement.
This,this habibi guy is a brainwashed labrat propagandier
“Society” 🤡
There is one part of the animation I unironically like. People lined up in a landfill, looking upon a glowing, yellow, happy creature that is so clearly a Pikachu. I imagine Steve decided to make the Pikachu glow to be like the other non-real things in this animation that too have color. But the little, happy Pikachu, with a nice yellow glow to combat the surrounding colorless world, looks more to me like it could also represent a small beacon of joy for a dark wasteland. The internet _can_ be good, you just have to actually look for it. Like walking in tall grass in a Pokemon game, looking for a Pikachu to keep by your side. Sometimes it takes only minutes, sometimes hours, but it does exist, and you can't find it if you never try at all.
Pokémon is a wonderful thing.
It's a reference to Pokemon Go, a controversial game at the time.

I like how the message of the animation is supposed to be “technology is taking over our minds let’s all work together to make this stop” but no the animator just became everyone’s laugh box 🤣
I don't know if it's the fact that the messages of these animations are ridiculously shallow but still get a lot of praise, the fact that everything is so on-the-nose it almost feels like propaganda or the fact that most of Steve Cutts work seems to revolve around blaming the new generations for problems they literally didn't create, but for some reason whenever I see someone complimenting Cutt's animations I get so unreasonably peeved...
As an animation student I get legitimately frustrated when I see people treating his elementary school levels of social critique and lazy at best animation style as revolutionary and profound
the animation is also just dog shit. its not even following the 12 principles
Yeah the mix of classic Felix the Cat style animation and weird interpolated animation will not ever mix well, no matter who's the artist.
At risk of sounding overly cynical, I can't help but feel like the extreme shallowness is intentional - he's made social commentary that goes down like a smooth pebble. Everyone can agree that phone addiction, harassing women and fuckin filming someone committing suicide are bad things, but the man managed to repackage completely stale, inoffensive (at face value) critiques as biting and impactful. In doing that, he's minimised the amount of people who'd be offended or otherwise won't get it.
It's not a creative failing, it's a shrewd marketing decision.
@@Colddirector this actually makes a lot of sense. There's a lot to criticize in Cutts' work, but he definitely knows what he is doing. He knows his target audience and he knows how to design a successful viral video. His videos feel soulless and preachy because they were created with the sole purpose of being universally understandable, and they achieved that goal. I'm from a non-English speaking country, and even I remember seeing these videos in class and in some older relatives' Facebook pages

They were so close to actually making a good point with the dancing girl being cyberbullied, but they just HAD to make it about the main character
This animation actually proved something very deep but the problem is they never really concern much about phone. Animators added lots of abuse and simply put the blame on phone. Such type of reasons is why most of people hate people who's against phone using
For me it doesn't look like the phones are blamed here. They are JUST there like everything else.
Steve Cutts probably has to be one of the most idiotic "artists" this generation has to deal with. The way he executes EVERYTHING in this video is so disrespectful to people who suffer these problems IRL that it actually hurts.
if an artist fails during his time, it's probably because they were right to me!
i don't understand why there is so much hate to someone trying to adress problems society faces more and more everyday, in their own way. maybe you guys felt aimed at?
except for saying " oh this is sh.t, damn this is idiotic, damn bro that's so dumb ", i think the one idiotic was justmehabibi, and people like you. not explaining why, but simply hating without develloping.
but guess i'm the one who's wrong for saying this huh? i should just blindly hate on someone 10 years later because " huuuh cringe huuuuh ".
@@fenenenenko Tell me, was the world any better before we had phones? Do you honestly believe that things such as Suicide and Sexual harassment didn't exist before phones? Do you think that this animation is thought provoking, even though the only message it seems to get across is that the kid wants nothing but attention? No.
There is no solution, there is no reason. This animation only exists because Steve Cutts is a whiny emo little prick who thinks that humanity is nothing but bad, and he completely ignores all of the great achievements we as a society have made.
I don't feel targeted at all, I feel like he's a dumbass. Mainly because people like you and him are too stupid to accept reality and think that everything is bad and there is no hope.
@alijibreel4822 I'm sorry, I'm not an english-native.
@@fenenenenko What is he addressing? He literally offers nothing except for, "PHONE BAD! GIVE ME ATTENTIONNNNNNN!!!! I WOULD DO GOOD IN THE WORLD IF I GOT ATTENTION FOR DOING IT!!!!!!" Maybe if he actually had an ending that, I don't know, had everyone putting down their phones, interacting to everyone around them, sunshine, rainbows, daisies, everybody getting rich, w/e, it would be addressing something more than some hollow, "I'm a nihilist, and this is deep," animation. This shit is unrealistic as well. I very rarely, if EVER, observe someone staring at their screen longer than a few seconds to a minute unless it is during a time like on a bus, or tram where people are watching videos or shit to pass the time instead of looking like a busy body bothering other people going about their day.
@@fenenenenko I dislike this video because it portrays its message in an unrealistic, overblown way. Also the animation sucks. Also also, someone disliking something doesn't mean they feel aimed at. It means they dislike it.

As much as I am a avid follower of Nihilism, I agree that teaching others to hope and grow and evolve as a species is far more important. Animations like these may call attention to pressing subjects but it can indeed be harmful and even make people apathetic towards said subject.

The part that makes it feel the most off to me is the robotic tweening paired up with the 1920's artstyle, since usually animations from that era look lifelike, and fluid. And sure, while it does look fluid, it's lacking any sort of life, and fails to express emotions and feelings in the same way that an animation actually from that time would.
It reminds me of Enchanted Portals, it was supposed to look and feel like an old-timey cartoon just like others but doesn't look or feel right at all.
