Partially. The confusion comes from something the director stated on the DVD commentary that got taken out of context in early reviews of the film. The story goes that when Jimmy ScreamerClauz was writing the first segment "Tainted Milk" he originally envisioned it as a black humor parody of Lassie, hence the names "Labby", and "Tommy" instead of "Timmy". Plus the plot revolves around someone trapped in a well, which is a popular stereotype of Lassie Parodies. He asked all the actors to do really over the top voices and to add in some of their own funny ad-libs.
Once he reached the editing phase and realized how off putting the models and animation were, he changed the score to give it a darker edge and make it feel more "bi-polar". After "Tainted Milk" was complete he begin work on the other two segments but tried to treat them more like serious horror films and use less comedic elements, though he has stated that he tried to inject a little humor into each short. But overall, the film was not fully intended to be a comedy.
