Short Circutz was a series of short computer animated videos that were played between television shows on YTV every weekend afternoon and evening from Saturday September 10, 1994 (coinciding with the premiere of ReBoot) until Sunday September 1, 1996. YTV's Short Circutz continued one more year in Canada from September 1996 until August 1997 and was no longer on YTV before the end of the decade. 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.

According to the YTV Viewer Relations Department, Short Circutz were introduced to fill a gap that arose from YTV's having only 8 minutes of commercials per hour compared to the 12-minute standard in place in Canadian television at the time.^{[citation needed]}

• "More Bells and Whistles" is one of the earliest of '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.
