Watch Free Animated Short Films Online

Independent animation can do things that live-action cinema cannot: build impossible cities, turn emotions into characters and create worlds with their own rules. Reelkind curates animated short films and feature-length animated works made publicly available by filmmakers and studios on supported platforms. Discover visual storytelling that ranges from playful comedy to moving drama, dark fantasy and experimental art.

Start with acclaimed animated shorts

Hair Love is a warm family story told through expressive character animation. The Wrong Rock follows an unlikely hero in an imaginative animated adventure. These works show how a powerful idea and a thoughtful visual language can make a short runtime feel complete.

Independent CGI and open filmmaking

Sintel, produced by the Blender Foundation, is an adventure that also helped showcase open 3D production tools. Computer animation need not imitate a large studio style: independent creators use CGI, mixed media and experimental workflows to develop personal voices and striking worlds.

Feature-length animation and experimental storytelling

If you are looking for a longer animated movie, Sita Sings the Blues combines myth, music, humour and a distinctive handmade look. The Man Who Planted Trees presents a meditative environmental story through lyrical drawn animation. Browse the animation catalogue and use running-time filters to find films suited to your evening.

Animated web series worth following

Independent animation also thrives in episodes. Find a continuing science-fiction adventure in Monkey Wrench, or inventive fantasy and comedy in Epithet Erased. Explore our guide to independent web series for more original online shows.
