* ''Animation/{{Ersatz}}'' (aka ''The Substitute'') by Yugoslovian studio Zagreb was the first foreign film to win this category, in 1961. ''[[Animation/OMistoNaSlunci A Place in the Sun]]'', from Czechoslovakia, was first to be nominated the year prior, but lost to ''WesternAnimation/{{Munro}}'' (which which was made in Czechoslovakia, but by an American team). ''Anime/LaMaisonEnPetitsCubes'' was the first {{anime}} short to capture the trophy, in 2008, and ''WesternAnimation/BearStory'', from Chile, was the first Latin American animation to win, in 2015.

* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies'' and MGM's "WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry" shorts are tied for the most-honored cartoon series, winning seven each. "Tom & Jerry" shorts got nominations for thirteen years in a row, 1940-52.
* Some controversy erupted due to the nomination, and eventual victory, of Creator/RichardWilliams' adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{A Christmas Carol|1971}}'' due to it being a TV special. In response, the Academy made a rule saying that for a short to qualify, it has to initially be shown in a theater.
* Michigan's "WesternAnimation/TheCrunchBird" is the shortest film to win any Oscar and the first from another US state outside of NY or California (Oregon's "WesternAnimation/ClosedMondays" and Louisiana's "WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFlyingBooksOfMrMorrisLessmore" afterwards). 2012's "Fresh Guacamole" is the shortest ever film to be nominated for an Oscar, clocking at only one minute and 40 seconds.
* 1984's "Charade" is the only animated student film to take home Oscar gold (as of TheNewTwenties).
* The Creator/NationalFilmBoardOfCanada received the most honors (five to be exact) for an international studio. The Creator/AardmanAnimations studio is the most-honored British studio in the category.
* 1959's "Moonbird" was the first independent animation to win Best Animated Short.
* 1961's "Animation/{{Ersatz}}" (AKA The Substitute) from Yugoslovia was the first foreign film to win this category (Czechoslovakia's "A Place In The Sun" was first to be nominated the year prior; lost to "Munro" which was made in Czechoslovakia, but for American audiences); 2008's "Anime/LaMaisonEnPetitsCubes" was the first anime short to capture the trophy and 2015's "WesternAnimation/BearStory" from Chile was the first Latin animation to win.
* 1956 marked the only time that all the nominees were from a single studio (Creator/{{UPA}})
