If your idea of a cartoon good time involves sparrows perching on a princess’ finger and trilling their sweet birdsong, the 92YTribeca’s Cartoons From Hell is not – repeat, not – for you.
In a special program of nine ‘evil short films’ curated by animator Patrick Smith, the cartoon world s a dark, twisted place. The truth is revealed about Santa Claus’ hidden past (‘Santa: The Fascist Years’). A possessed, sadistic sock puppet turns against its creator (‘Puppet’). And then there’s one simply described as ‘A kid. A babysitter. An explosive sneeze. Google it.’ (‘Down to the Bone’). You’ll never be able to look at Bambi the same way again.
