"full length" implies something that's complete and presentable more than anything else. that is to say, (in the case of a stick figure fighting animation) it would probably have some kind of story or clearly defined goal (even if it's just killing bad guys), a lot of action, sound effects, music, a loading bar, menu, etc...

...as for length, a full length animation probably wouldn't be any less than a minute long or so? less than that would probably be considered an animation "short" instead.

but it's pretty subjective. take a look at the animations on stickpage.com front page, they're all "full length". then compare that to "test animation" and whatever else you find in the show off section on the forums here. see the difference?
