September 10, 1994 (1994-09-10) – September 1, 1996 (1996-09-01)
Short Circutz is a series of short
computer-animated videos that were played between television shows on
YTV every weekend afternoon and evening from September 10, 1994 (coinciding with the premiere of
ReBoot), until September 1, 1996. YTV's Short Circutz continued one more year in
Canada from September 1996 until August 1997. Most videos were 30 to 120 seconds long, 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. Some of the films were re-edited with alternate music, most notably replacing nearly all of the vocal songs used in the Imaginaria shorts.
List of shorts
There were a total of 32 shorts featured in Short Circutz:[citation needed]
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."
