Short Circutz is a series of short computer-animated videos that were played between television shows on YTV every afternoon and evening from September 5, 1994 until August 31, 1997. Most videos were 30 to 120 seconds long and often played between other computer-animated shows, such as ReBoot and Beasties. The videos were all sampled from three film collections: The Mind's Eye, its sequel Beyond the Mind's Eye, and Imaginaria.

Trivia

[edit]
  • Footage from the Laserdisc game Cube Quest is used more often than footage from any other individual clip in the shorts. Some examples include the jungle tunnel in "Creation," the many tunnels in "All Shapes and Sizes" and the flying ship in "All Shapes and Sizes."
  • "More Bells and Whistles" is one of the earliest of Wayne Lytle's productions; Lytle now produces more complex variations on the idea with his company, Animusic.
  • Some clips from the shorts are CGI commercials and promos, like an ID for MusiquePlus in Anything is Possible.
