Don Hertzfeldt, who with Mike Judge (creator of King of the Hill, Office Space and Beavis and Butthead) created The Animation Show, a film festival of great new animation, released a collection of short films titled Rejected. The premise is that these animations were commissioned by corporations and then rejected.

Very funny. Be warned, they can also be pretty disturbing.

These are a distant cousin of Tim Burton’s Melencholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories.

Get work by Don Hertzfeldt, Mike Judge or Tim Burton.
