Curator’s note

The best animated short films, free to watch.

Animation gives a short film room that live action does not. With no feature runtime to fill, an animated short can commit to a single idea, a single visual world and one clean feeling, then land it in a few minutes. The animated shorts here are hand-picked and free to watch, with no subscription and no sign-up.

Hand-drawn, stop-motion or CG, the form has far more range than the big franchises suggest, and the short length is where animators take their boldest swings. Press play and see what a few minutes can do.
