When I was a kid in Canada, the kid's channel, YTV, had these CGI shorts that they would air during commercials. They aired a lot of filler material because of Canadian laws not allowing them to air as many commercials as American TV, but they still aired American shows and even their original shows hoped to sell to American TV, so they had time not filled by shows or commercials. And everyone in Canada knows The Zone, the live action hosted segments for weekdays after school, because that's still on today, but I could never find anyone who remembered when YTV would air weird CGI shorts as filler in the evenings. They were all different styles, and although they were aired when ReBoot was new, they did not actually look much like ReBoot. Except one that had a clip that sort of reminded me of the intro. But for years I couldn't find evidence of their existence. And sometimes I'd find a video that would ring a bell but sounded weird, had the wrong music. And then recently I finally found it. Apparently they called the shorts they aired "Short Circuitz," but really they were just a collection of random CGI shorts, mostly from the '80s, cut to fit whatever time YTV had, and usually set to random music and not the original music that came with them, which would explain why I found some that seemed familiar but had the wrong music.
I still don't think I found all of them. I bet there are more. And as I fall down the rabbit hole sometimes I find videos that feel familiar, but at this point they could just be other similar things that my brain is getting mixed up with these things from almost 30 years ago. But here's a playlist specifically for Short Circuitz, with many of the videos labelled as such, specifically with the music that they used when aired on YTV.
Some more famous ones include Andre and Wally B., from Pixar, and More Bells and Whistles, from the guys who later made Animusic. I hear people talk about Animusic a lot more than More Bells and Whistles or Short Circuits, but More Bells and Whistles is cooler for being older and having all the same stuff that makes Animusic cool. Either way, the ones I really like are the ones nobody talks about. Those are the ones that really hit my nostalgia nerve.
