The movie initially saw limited action at film festivals because Don Hertzfeldt was embarassed by it. He was also afraid of being pelted with rocks by angry women, until screenings revealed that women usually cheered very loudly for the cartoon girls, and always applauded much louder than the men. A few of the "evil women" in the film are crude caricatures of some of Don's ex-girlfriends - drawn not so much out of bitterness but from running out of different hair styles to think up.

Thanks for featuring my film. I feel honoured!
I find this blog is an excellent idea! putting trios of shorts with a common linking topic, and see how they contrast or resonate. Brilliant idea, so I wish it a lot of success!
Thank you Mayec, for your kind words and wishes.
They mean a lot for me, especially because they came from one of the authors of a movie which
is so close to my heart.
