A Cautionary Tale

Squarespace was created to help turn dreams into realities, but for the holidays it wanted to flip the idea on its head. Who would be horrified by realising a dream? The answer was Oscar the Grouch, the beloved pessimist from children’s TV series Sesame Street. In the film, Oscar is an accidental trash sculptor who becomes a darling of the NYC art world when his work is shared on a Squarespace website. It’s his greatest nightmare: people like him. And that makes him miserable. Until he realises that being miserable actually makes him happy.
