The Revolting Slob

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 2024 and is found on various streaming services.

Crashbox was created and produced by Planet Grande Pictures (consisting of John Watkin and Eamon Harrington) and is animated by Cuppa Coffee Studios, headed by Adam Shaheen. Planet Grande Pictures engaged Cuppa Coffee Studios for 8 months to complete 13 hours of programming. Some of the segments produced for Season 1 were reused for the first half of Season 2, while production of the second half went underway in late 1999.

Along with the 52 aired episodes, it has been stated that a total of 65 episodes were at one point produced/planned, as mentioned during a demo reel for Planet Grande Pictures. Most sources state that only 52 episodes were produced, and only 52 episodes have been registered in the Library of Congress.
