What is a short film?

Short Films

A short film is any film not long enough to be considered a feature film. No consensus exists as to where that boundary is drawn: the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short film as an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits. The term featurette originally applied to a film longer than a short subject, but shorter than a standard feature film.

The most popular short film globally is ‘Tangled Ever After’, which is a sequel to the film 'Tangled'. The running time for 'Tangled Ever After' is 6 minutes. The short film is Disney musical which earned a total gross of $200,821,936 with a production budget of $260 million. The film is about a witch who takes a princess when she is a baby and uses her powers to keep her youthful. However, the princess escapes from the castle and ends up going on an adventure and falls in love with a man. The short film shows the wedding of the couple. As the original 'Tangled' film was a success, it implied that the audience wanted to see the wedding of their most beloved characters. Additionally, because it was a musical, the film did well on that behalf as the songs are popular worldwide with lots of iTunes downloads therefore this attracts the audience to the short sequel because it is clear there will be more songs.
