In This Cold Place (2017) User Reviews

A true piece of art

[cat-that-goes-by-himself · 10/10 · 16 July 2021]

Regardless of political opinions and musical tastes, the animation is a masterpiece, pastiching a host of cartoons from the 30's to the 90's, each of them immediately recognizable yet clearly different from the original.

Three short minutes packed with creativity and talent. A real sight to behold.

We cant even listen to music without seeing politics

Its not even a good song and the politics behind everything in it are garbage

Such a joke

This is great animation and Moby is ruining it with his terrible half-baked songs. Get a reality check Moby, these songs are garbage.

The Trump-bot music video

Steve Cutts' work is anything but subtle.

I don't necessarily disagree with the messages from his shorts, but I can see why some people find the way in which said messages are delivered to be extremely preachy and hamfisted.

Here, for example, we have stuff like a Donald Trump robot briefly turning into a swastika before transforming into the dollar symbol, while fighting a bunch of heroes with "justice" written on their shields.

Whatever one could think of Trump or any similar political figure, such kind of imagery is frankly ridiculous and over the top.

I can see Cutts is aiming for a "bitterly ironic" tone here, juxtaposing real life injustices with the naive aesthetic of the saturday morning cartoon world, but still feels cheesy anyway, like that stupid couch gag Bansky made for The Simpsons some time ago.
