animated shorts
Mini cartoon films
Animated shorts are brief animated films, typically under 30 minutes.
The term distinguishes them from feature-length animation and often implies artistic or experimental work rather than commercial production.
Studios like Pixar release animated shorts before feature films in theaters.
The festival showcased animated shorts from independent filmmakers.
