Short Story Adventures, also simply known as Short Stories or All Engines Go Shorts, is a series of All Engines Go two-minute shorts featuring the same voice cast and animation from the main series. The series was first released in the US on the Official YouTube Channel from September 15, 2021 to January 20, 2022. The shorts later released on the Official Latin America YouTube Channel from September 16, 2021 to January 27, 2022. The shorts were released on the Official UK YouTube Channel starting on November 8, 2021. The shorts were aired on Treehouse TV in Canada on November 27 and December 4, 2021, on Milkshake! in the UK starting from January 17, 2022 and on Cartoon Network in the US two weeks later. Three shorts were released on the Race for the Sodor Cup DVD in the US/CAN on March 8, 2022.
Unlike the main series, the shorts tend to focus more on the other main cast or side characters instead of only Thomas, with him not even appearing in some of them outside the intro.
