Hi! I’m looking to play a short film that’s around 30-45 minutes in my classroom in order to teach them about narratives. It has to be rated G (please no documentaries!) and I have to be able to find it free on YouTube or another website that will not be blocked by a school computer. If anyone has any suggestions please reply, thank you!

Gotcha, even if it’s not rated, as long as there is nothing inappropriate or even remotely suggestive that works. Thank you!

If the library in your city of county gives free Kanopy memberships a bunch of Oscar nominated shorts are available there. A bunch are under 20 minutes so you might need to show two.

This isn't a short film that you would ever show (it's geared for more younger kids and is an "older film", but I recommend that everyone watch it at least once as it might be one of the saddest films ever:
The Mailbox (1977)

Pitch perfect but play it in 2.5x speed

Short films aren't rated by the MPA. It costs an arm and a leg to get a rating from them and there is never a reason to do so.

Show the 1993 Homeward Bound and break it up over two class periods. It costs $3.99 on youtube or you can probably check it out for free from your local library.
