From hilarious to heartbreaking, these beautiful animated short films are going to leave you awe inspired. With their gorgeous visuals, impeccable storytelling and unique approaches, the following will make you want to create your very own animated short film!

CEREAL!

Cereal is such a joy to watch. It’s a bombastic take on what it feels like to buy your favorite cereal, to get a precious trinket, only to then find out you ran out of milk. Is there really anything worst than forgetting an item on your grocery list right after going to the supermarket.

Warm Welcome

If you are into all things spooky, but you also love all things cute, this is the short film for you. What happens when an overly excited flame opens the door to greet some trick-or-treaters? Warm welcome answers that very question.

Birdsong

Birdsong is one of the few animated short films that has brought me to tears and pulled at my heartstrings.  Based on late field biologist John Sincock's experiences in Kauai and the recording of the last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō. This film is absolutely stunning and heartbreaking.

LOUISE

If Degas could’ve inspired an animated short film, Louise would be that film. This stunning short film pulls the curtain for us to peek at the lives of ballerinas after their shows, and the lengths they had to go through to please they patrons just to enjoy the simple pleasures of life like good macaroons.
