Rejected is a 2000 animated short comedy film by Don Hertzfeldt that was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. It received 27 awards from film festivals around the world and in 2004 was ranked by the Internet Movie Database as the 3rd best short film of all time. Rejected has a cult following and has grown into a pop culture icon that is frequently quoted or referenced.

Fans of the cartoon have been known to wear costumes, re-enact their favorite scenes in fan films, and some have had tattoos made of their favorite characters. Public screenings of the short often become a "Rocky Horror Picture Show-esque feedback loop" of fans reciting favorite lines back at the screen.
