Steve Cutts is a U.K.-based animator and illustrator with several viral short films on YouTube. His shorts use biting satire and dark humor to convey uncomfortable truths about humanity and modern society.

In “Happiness,” we follow the story of a rodent’s unrelenting quest for happiness and fulfillment. The rodent joins other rodents in chasing happiness through consumerism, alcohol, and pharmaceuticals.

I love how this 4-minute film makes you think about the insanity of our modern, Western society and how we may be in our own rat race.
