I feel the animation doesn't really capture bosch. I grew up with his painting around our house, my dad was a big fan! When we lived in Europe for a few years we would go to all kinds places just to see one his paintings.

However, I feel the animation is trying to be "weird" like bosch rather than "symbolic" like bosch.

Desire lacking ability turns to Kitsch.

The linked article suggests that the models in the animation are supposed to represent 21st-century vices. That's all very well and good, but "The Garden of Earthly Delights" wasn't supposed to (and doesn't) represent 16th-century vices. Certain images from the "Hell" panel may be more historically situated, but the center panel is -- if it's about vices at all, which is not at all clear -- about more-or-less eternal human ones.

Edit: one of my favorite pieces of art derivative of "Garden" -- a reading of the music painted on one of the figures' asses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnrICy3Bc2U
