The Beckers: Cannibalism and Your Teen

D: Steve Evangelatos

5 min., iFilm

In this spiffy satire on Fifties health films, the neighborhood boy starts experimenting with cannibalism, and it prompts pipe-smoking Mr. Becker to have a nice father-son chat with his strapping teenage boy. Evangelatos' line-drawn cartoon is a great example of how a simple, goofy toss-off can find a home online. The short is currently ranked first on iFilm's "most viewed" list.
