Since it's Basile's birthday today, I will help him get the word out about Rejected.

You too can waste 10 minutes of your life watching this short film-- just stop by our apartment and Basile will be more than happy to show it to you.

"In the spring of 1999, the Family Learning Channel commissioned animator Don Hertzfeldt to produce promotional segments for their network. The cartoons were completed in five weeks. The Family Learning Channel rejected all of them upon review, and they were never aired..."

The first scene from the Rejected cartoons:



"My spoon is too big. My spoon... is TOO big!"
"I am a BANANA!"
