Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Rejected is a collection of animated shorts from animator Don Hertzfeldt, revolving around a fictionalized version of himself creating advertising bumpers for various companies, all of which are rejected on sight. Hertzfeldt utilized a very minimalist approach to the artwork and incorporated very surreal elements. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in the year 2000.An HD restoration of the short was put together for the Blu-ray release of Hertzfeldt's It's Such a Beautiful Day. It can be seen for free on Hertzfeldt's YouTube channel here.The cartoon is only 10 minutes long, so spoilers are unmarked. All the better reason to watch the cartoon before reading this page.

Apocalypse How

Apocalypse How: invokedClass X-4 through technicality. While it's established early on that the universe shown off in each vignette is nothing more than fiction, the characters themselves seem to have their own agendas and free will. Through a case of Creator Breakdown once Don's creativity bottoms out due to a depressive state formed from all of his shorts being shunned, he unleashes the apocalypse unto his creations, complete with page tearing and creasing. At one point, a stick figure is banging on the paper, pleading for help, showing at full display the fact that this human-created universe acts separately to our own.

Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: A significant portion of the spoken dialogue has really weird intonation.
