This isn't your typical Cartoon Network content. Our selections for our favorite animated shorts this year run the gamut of genres and narratives. From quirky comedies to familial dramas to social commentaries, we hope you find each film delightfully unique and a strong reminder that animation isn't just for kids but the creative spirit in all of us.

'Skeleton of a Moth' is a short documentary animation made by Emma Kay Smith about the emotional difficulties and social pressures that affect teenage girls of today. The film is a collective narrative going back and forth between multiple girl's perspectives as they talk through problems surrounding body image, mental health, and sexual assault. Emma hopes that the film will show anyone who has or is experiencing any of the issues discussed, that they aren’t alone, and that they have other people around them who will understand what they are going through.
