Disney+

Five all-new experimental short films from Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Feeling experimental? Disney+'s Short Circuit program -- which provides an opportunity for anyone at Walt Disney Animation Studios to pitch their own short film -- is back for season 2 with an all-new collection of shorts that "take the idea of experimentation to the next level."

"Each of the short films has its own unique style -- from the hand-drawn charm of Dinosaur Barbarian to the auditory experience of Songs to Sing in the Dark -- our five directors all have something special to say through their stories," production manager Jennifer Newfield tells ET. "We're excited to have five completely unique films this season -- and by the way, there are even more to come in future seasons of Short Circuit!"
