What happens

Crashbox is a stop-motion animated edutainment children's television series co-created by Eamon Harrington and John Watkin for HBO Family that ran from 1999 to 2000 in the United States. It was HBO's second series (their first being Braingames 15 years earlier) focusing on educational skits. Crashbox was one of the original programs for the relaunch of the HBO Family channel in February 1999. Although it has never been released on physical media like DVD or VHS, it was consistently rerun on HBO Family until the removal of its children's block in 2025 and is found on various streaming services.
