Steve Cutts is a young English illustrator/producer who, despite being 25 or 26 years old, has already worked for large multinationals such as Sony, Toyota or Coca-Cola. His genius is evident not only because of his natural talent for drawing, but also because he uses simple programs like Adobe Flash or After Effects to create his animations, and the result surprises us. And it surprises us with the satirical, daring, carefree and ironic tone with which it presents the human universe, with its ambitions, desires, sadness, miseries. This paper examines two of his animated films, and explores a philosophical vision about the hypermodern society and the myth of happiness.
