"Rejected" is a brilliant animated digression which is understated as it pertains to the animation, but a three ring circus that is both genius and insane with it's bizarre yet exponentially hilarious dialogue. The soundtrack is also ecclectic yet highly effective. This short receives my strongest rec. It is an aquired taste, but worthy of your mental digestion.... and with a spartan but effective runtime what do you have to lose? "My spoon is too big".... drawing with his left hand.... the instability of his cartoon world.... and the deleted seqeunce are classic.
"Rejected" (2000) = A (add + for animation fans)

i saw this the first time at the spike and mike festival in austin... i could not stop laughing. nobody else could stop laughing. i was holding my face because it hurt so much from laughing. if you are one who thinks that good old clean jokes about anything crossing any roads, no, this may not be for you. but if you have a sense of humour, and would like to see something new and different, then please watch this. i've seen it a few times since then (it's been a few years) and laugh just as hard every time. if you do enojoy it, make sure to check out some of his other clips.
I don't know what Buff-17 was talking about when he submitted his review of the movie... Perhaps he had a cup of tea, and sat alone in his house with darkened lights to watch it in full surround sound...
Buff, I think you were simply looking a bit too deep.
I saw this film for the first time at Spike and Mike's film festival with a group of my friends. You aren't missing any jokes, buff - in fact, you are looking so hard you are missing the point. It is funny because it's so incredibly ridiculous.. and original.
Now then, this film is the funniest animation of all time. I laughed myself to tears (never happened before) watching the previous work, "Billy's Balloon," but this one.. by the end, I could not see the theatre screen. I was having trouble breathing.
And no, I'm not one of those annoying theatre types that bellow at the screen any time a fart joke is spoken.
This truly is an amazingly funny movie. The whole theatre was in uproar throughout most of the film. If you enjoy a good laugh, then this is a MUST SEE MOVIE.

This movie is not for those without a sense of humour. If you like crazy, off the wall stuff, and know what "funny" means, you will love it. Ignore all other comments to the contrary.
A short animated film which is difficult to put into words. Well, no it isn't. It's quite simple really: "FUNNY AS HELL!"
A masterful work which spoofs the animation industry and the commercial industry with such bizarre class, it's truly an amazing work. The short captures a perfect balance by going completely over the top.
The short was to be featured on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim (ads were even shown up to a week before it's air date), but the short lived up to it's title by being pulled at the last moment because of the words "Sweet Jesus," but rumored to be just an excuse since the heads just didn't get it.
Hopefully this comment will quickly become outdated with the airing of 'Rejected.' Buy the DVD(s), and prove a lot of network heads wrong.
