Short films are independently-made/public domain, fully animated productions.

Characteristics:

• A consistent plot or narrative that the audience can follow throughout the film.
• Better production quality (voice_acted, sound_effects, background_music, etc.).
• Playtime that is longer than a minute but is not movie length (about 40 minutes or less).
