An interesting history of short
films
Short films often focus on
difficult topics which longer, more commercial films usually
avoid. Filmmakers benefit from larger freedoms and can take
higher risks, but they must rely on festival and art house
exhibition to achieve public display. Most short films are
better known outside the United States than within, due to less
rigidity of audience expectation as to program content,
arrangement and length outside the U.S. However, film shorts are
often a popular extra feature on a film's DVD. For instance,
Pixar's DVD releases of its feature films typically includes not
only a short that was distributed with the feature film in its
initial theatrical release but also an original creation
featuring the characters from the feature itself. Likewise,
Warner Brothers often includes selected animated shorts from its
considerable archives on DVD releases of its family-oriented
films that have a thematic relationship.
