ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Anthology film

An anthology film is like a book with many different stories in it. Imagine you have a big book with lots of short stories inside. Each story is its own thing with its own characters, setting, and plot. You can read one story, and then the next one, and so on. An anthology film is the same thing, but with movies instead of stories. You watch one short movie, and then the next one, and so on. When you watch an anthology film, you get to see several different stories, all in one movie. It's like watching a bunch of movies all at once!
