description Burrow Overview

Burrow is a 2020 animated short film produced under the Pixar SparkShorts program, written and directed by Madeline Sharafian. The film employs traditional hand-drawn 2D animation techniques, following a young rabbit who attempts to dig an underground home but inadvertently tunnels into the elaborate burrows of various neighboring animals. Released on Disney+ in December 2020, it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 93rd Academy Awards. The SparkShorts program, of which it is a part, was designed to give Pixar artists the opportunity to create independent short films with smaller budgets and more experimental techniques than the studio's theatrical shorts.
