"MAN" is a modern 2D computer animation created by YouTuber Steve Cutts. The style of the animation is achieved using a puppet-manipulation technique, which does not require the animator to animate movements separately by drawing every frame individually. The animation generalizes all industrial exploitation of the Earth and its wildlife by using one man as a synecdoche which represents all of humankind. Man, in Native-American culture as well as in other arboreal and spiritual beleifs, has always been considered as a guest on this plain, forbidden to destroy Mother Nature for it only decreases the time man can co-exist with it. This element is portrayed in the animation with the "Welcome" label on the man's shirt. Furthermore, as the background music ("In The Hall Of The Mountain King") escalates, the atrocities committed by the man gradually get even more grotesque, ultimately leading to the absolute destruction of Earth and all other life inhabiting it. The animation's message is the inevitable devastation of life by the hands of man solely for the insatiable consumerism which befalls capitalism , as well as the perception of animals as being products and sources.
