Animation is an effective storytelling media.

Okay. Do you have any other reasons?

You mean like, why would they pick animation over CG or live-action?

Sometimes traditional animation is the best media suited for the project. Try to imagine The Simpsons as a live-action, for example.

Sometimes other factors might be the main consideration. It's easier to hire a handful of voice actors for a cartoon epic, compared to a live action epic. CG scenes in live-action movies help reduce this concern.

CG vs. traditional animation is probably mostly aesthetic.

Okay. Why is that someone wants to produce an animated short film?

Regardless of length, I'd say all the same factors are in play.

For the money, of course.
