The thing about short films is that they are "short" for a reason. The difficult thing is to create something with meaning -- something that after the 17 minutes is over, the viewer is left with something they didn't have before. Sometimes film directors do not even possess this skill. I have to commend Don Hertzfeldt for his original idea and use of aesthetically pleasing images and representation of the future world: colorful, intangible, imaginary.
