Background

On November 17, 2021, the NATAS announced the creation of the Children's and Family Emmy Awards to recognize the best in children's and family television. The organization cited an "explosive growth in the quantity and quality of children’s and family programming" as justification for a dedicated ceremony. Many categories of the awards were previously presented at the Daytime Emmy Awards.
For the 3rd Children's and Family Emmy Awards, the maximum runtime for episodes was lowered from nine to eight minutes, and the category was split into Outstanding Live Action Short Form Program and Outstanding Animated Short Form Program.
