OSCAR HISTORY: Best Animated Short Film 
Often referred to as "cartoons", the animated short film has been around since the beginning of the movies. Often, these shorts would play before a feature film, and sometimes still do! Regardless of where they play, animated shorts have run the gamut from some of the most beloved cartoon characters of all time to some of the most interesting animation experiments we've ever seen.
