Since I don’t typically include short films in my Gravy Film Awards (aside from nominating Too Many Cooks for Best Song, but you’d have done the same), it struck me that I should really have a separate page for my reviews of short films – which include animated, documentary, and dramatic live-action shorts, just as my film awards put animated, documentary, and dramatic live-action films on an equal footing.
Also, for my own purposes, I place the cut-off point for shorts at 39 minutes in length. So, for example, The Red Balloon is a short, but White Mane is a very short feature.
