# Psychedelic Retro Cartoons Death is Home by Topsafe London Looks Like a Walt Disney Film on Acid By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-05-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-is-home-by-topsafe-london References: [complex](http://www.complex.com/art-design/2012/05/ilovedust-and-horfe-connect-on-amazing-animated-project) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/42562869) Short and sweet, 'Death is Home' by Topsafe London is the result of a collaboration between the design boutique ILoveDust and Paris-based graffiti artist Horfe. Clocking in at a mere 38 seconds, Death is Home tells a quick story about the characters eager to escape the confines of their narrative boundaries. A book falls from the sky, the pages turn themselves to the middle of the novel and like a scene from a Looney Toons cartoon, a saw emerges from the ground to cut out a section from the story. From this newly created entrance emerge various bizarre characters ready to explore their new environment. The music and visual style of the video is reminiscent of a vintage Mickey Mouse cartoon, infused with some psychedelic surrealism. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Psychedelic Animation:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the realm of animated content by incorporating psychedelic and surreal elements. - **Retro-inspired Design:** Businesses can explore opportunities in creating retro-inspired designs that combine vintage aesthetics with modern elements. - **Interactive Storytelling:** Interactive storytelling techniques can be employed to engage audiences in unique and immersive experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Animation:** The animation industry can leverage psychedelic retro cartoons to create captivating and visually stunning content. - **Design:** Design industry professionals can capitalize on the trend of retro-inspired designs to create appealing and nostalgic products. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can incorporate interactive storytelling techniques to enhance viewer engagement and provide immersive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Graphic Fashion Animation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation.md) - [Revived Retro Animations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-animated-series.md) - [Hand-Drawn Animation Shorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-grogu-and-dust-bunnies.md) - [Vibrant Retro Transport Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-transport-safety.md) - [Geometric Colorful Residential Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphic-house.md) - [Surrealist Shopping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-is.md) - [Cartoonish NFT Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-like-you-youre-weird.md) - [Anime-Style Travel Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animated-travel-ads.md) - [Marble-Patterned Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-interior.md)
