About Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts
Table of Contents
Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts, also known as AVM Shorts, is a series in the Animator vs. Animation franchise, acting as a sequel series to Animation vs. Minecraft.
Season 1 debuted on November 17th, 2017. It takes place after Animation vs. YouTube and before Animator vs. Animation Season 2. It involves the stick figures exploring Minecraft and later having a story arc involving Nether portals. It is currently the longest season, and it consists of two halves. The first seven episodes (1–7) do not have a story arc. These episodes mostly flesh out the quirks and personalities of each member of the Stick Gang. The last seven episodes (8–14) make up a story arc involving the Gang exploring different realms during a quest to get home, including the Nether, The End, and even a SkyBlock. Despite being the longest in terms of number of episodes with 14, it is second to Season 3 in total runtime.
Season 2 debuted on February 15th, 2020. It takes place after Animation vs. Super Mario Bros. It has no story arc and is just random slice-of-life stories. Because of this, it is currently the shortest season in terms of number of episodes and runtime, with only five episodes spanning a little over 40 minutes in all.
Season 3 debuted on December 20th, 2020. It takes place after Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts Season 2. It consists of a story arc where the stick figures re-explore the Nether and come across a new stick figure, King Orange. In contrast to Season 1, this season is entirely one single story arc, and is currently the longest arc in the Animation vs. franchise, spanning 11 episodes. This season has the longest runtime in the Animation vs. Minecraft series, surpassing Season 1 by over an hour despite having three fewer episodes than its predecessor.
Season 4 debuted on May 27th, 2023. It takes place after Season 3 and is similar to Season 2. Despite this season only having six episodes, less than half the number of episodes that Season 1 has, it has surpassed Season 2 in total runtime and is, in total, around 12 minutes shorter than Season 1.
Season 3 In Real Time was released on August 5th, 2023. It is the same as Season 3, but with split-screens and newly animated scenes to showcase what each character was experiencing all at the same time from start to finish.
Season 5 debuted on October 11th, 2025. It takes place after Season 4.
The current duration of the whole series is 6 hours, 28 minutes and 20 seconds.
