Animation Shorts

Explore the infinite possibilities of animation with this global tour of a medium (not a genre) being used to tell a stunning variety of inventive, expressive, entirely unique tales.

This collection of shorts includes everything from a daring lunar adventure, to a family-friendly parable directed by Renée Zellweger, to a romance between a meatball and a tuna can. These stories, told through paint, pixels, and even pasta, reveal the enormous imagination and formal creativity found in modern animation.
