It's interesting: I watched this short animation the day after watching
'Finding Nemo'. Now, I know that 'Nemo' isn't a straight out comedy,
but if you take all of the bits of its 90+ minute running time which
are supposed to be funny, I'm sure they at least add up to the 8 or 9
minutes of 'Rejected'. 'Finding Nemo' is a 50 or 100 million dollar
extravaganza that looks like it was animated by God. 'Rejected' looks
like it was drawn by a five year-old with no particular artistic
ability, and produced on a budget that's probably below my fortnightly
income. So how come I nearly cried laughing at 'Rejected', and didn't
laugh at all during 'Nemo'? There is a lesson to be learned here: that
ideas are more important than money. It's not like Hollywood hasn't
learned this already, after 'Blair Witch Project'. I wonder how close
we actually are to that kid winning the Oscar with a film shot on a
camcorder?
Anyway, funny though it may be, 'Rejected' isn't a masterpiece.
Probably not even a classic, and doesn't deserve 8.9. That's absurd. It
is very clever, very funny and deliciously idiotic and surreal at
times, but there isn't anything all that sophisticated about it. It was
hilarious until I realized it was a prank; then it started being funny
again _because_ it was a prank. It's basically a rather well
embellished joke that lasts for eight minutes. The first time I watched
it it was hilarious. The second time it was funny. The third time...
well, I don't feel compelled to watch it again just yet.
7 out of 10, though.
