SHORT FILMS FOR YOU! Previously reviewed, now available!
I had to take a short break from bringing you shorts due to simply too much work needing to be done. So, this week, I figured I’d bring you short films I’ve reviewed before that have become available to watch online.
Short Films for You! Productions Spectrum Special [SDCC 2022]
Normally, we’d bring you a bunch of random shorts all under one theme and from a variety of filmmakers and producer. This week, I’m bringing you a fantastic group of short films about superheroes because well, it’s San Diego Comic Con and everyone has heroes on the brain.
Short Films for You!
You’ve seen some of the short films round-ups we’ve posted on this site, most of the time not being able to watch the films yourself. Mixing this with an idea taken partially from my habit of sharing short films on social media with the comment “Short film for you!”, I bring you our version of Short Film for You! Where we will share short films that you can watch online legally and easily.

CHANCES OF SEEING A COMMERCIAL DVD RELEASE: Maybe in an anthology collection of Soviet-era cartoons.
Here we are at the end of another year, and to say goodbye to 2021 I decided to lean back into the Cold War era and dig up a wonderful but obscure animated short from the Soviet Union that takes place on New Year’s Eve. The film, not surprisingly, is called “New Year’s Eve” and it is one of the most delightfully odd relics of the house that Lenin built.
