This block of animated shorts is designed for grown-up audiences, not Saturday morning cartoons. From bold hand-drawn work to cutting-edge digital and experimental techniques, these films use animation to tackle complex themes—identity, desire, memory, and the surreal—in ways that live action never could. A showcase of artistry and imagination, these shorts prove that animation is a powerful medium for adults as much as for kids.
