Not under the category so bad it's good, it's so bad it's bad. (Although many would like one to think of it as being the first.) This film came to prominence as being one of the 2000 Academy award nominees for short animated films, among other awards, but that's just because every film festival is juried and selective based on who knows whom.
The director takes a que from the rulebook of Blair Witch Project/South Park filmmaking: Make up a story involving film, show the film involving the story, and trick/confuse the audience into believing this may be true. Herzfeldt wants us to believe that a series of super short films he did were rejected from the `Family Learning Channel', and it turns into an annoyingly repetitive one-joke premise as to why they were. (This is when the South Park material comes in. Any adult who finds this funny has obviously been deprived of a 12-year education.)
Got nothing else to say. AVOID IT.
