How do these happen ?

Anybody can make a movie so worthless nobody cares or publishes it.

But this one made some effort :
* Got approved.
* Got funded.
* Got published and projected.
* Rather decent artwork & animation. Enough that it must have costed a lot.


So.. how does that happen ?

Who decided to put money on it ? And why ?

Is there an audience somewhere for this ?
Are they captive or do they not know any better ?
