Creating a List of SHORTS in Plex

I have a collection of about 500 or so Disney “shorts”. These are cartoons and short films (under 5 minutes) which Disney released primarily before a film back in the day. Looking for recommendations on how to put them into Plex and keeping them grouped as Disney Shorts.

Thanks

I have a bunch of shorts which I grouped in a separate library.
Inside that library I created a few collections (e.g. Pixar Shorts and Marvel One Shots).

The type of the library will have to depend on the specific media you’re going to add. Best check The Movie Database if the shorts you have in your collection are considered “movies” or “tv-shows”.

They exist as a TV show on TheTVDB Disney Animated Shorts - TheTVDB.com
Therefore you can put them into a library of the type TV Show.
Suitably named for a tv show of course. Naming and Organizing Your TV Show Files | Plex Support

There is also a dedicated record for all episodes of “Silly Symphony” Silly Symphony - TheTVDB.com

I do it similar; just without the collections. Just have a “Movies” library called Animated Shorts where they’re all placed with the proper naming. Never had a problem with any of them matching automatically.

My friends with kids love being able to just put that entire library on shuffle and leave it on for daytime child distraction.
