Animatus Series by Hyung Koo Lee.
Hyung Koo Lee created skeleton sculptures of our favorite cartoons growing up. He poses these characters in mid movement bringing new life to the dead bodies.
Bringing the ordinary 2D characters into a real life 3D environment, we can analyze the structure and physical forms of our beloved animated characters through these sculptures. Using a mix of real animal bones and synthetic materials to create this visualization is really quite remarkable. Try to guess which each of the characters are who before scrolling down.
Lee restores the real shape of characters like Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Coyote and classifies these creatures into Latin scientific names according to the biological categorization hence combines it with ‘Animatus’ a Greek world referring to ‘Breathe life into something’ and ‘make enliven’. -artinasia
