Art requires creative perception both by the artist and by the audience: a cliche comment about some modern art is that "my five-year old child could have painted that." This statement implies that the work is somehow less worthy of the title "art" either because the viewer fails to find meaning in the work, or because the work does not appear to have required any skill to produce.

Entertainment, parody, satire, and pure goofyness can be "Art". Duchamp's "Toilet (readymade)" is just as much Art as Monet's "Water Lillies".

I say that "We Like the Moon" is Art, whether or not a particular spectator likes it. Aristotle wrote "Art completes what nature cannot bring to finish. The artist gives us knowledge of nature's unrealized ends." This animation of two small primates with buggy eyes and overexposed gums singing badly about the moon surely brings us closer to nature's unrealized ends.
