Steve Cutts releases 'Man 2020' animation showing nature reborn during pandemic
British illustrator Steve Cutts, known for his satirical animations about the human condition, has released a new video on his YouTube channel titled 'Man 2020'. The film is described by Cutts as an update to his 2012 short 'Man', which has been viewed over 40 million times online. The original animation depicted humanity's delusion of omnipotence, trampling everything for wealth and comfort. In the 2020 sequel, nature breathes a sigh of relief, reborn and proliferating while most of humanity is confined at home due to the pandemic. The pause, however, is destined to be short-lived. The video was published on Artribune's television section in May 2020.
