There's no telling if I'll be doing any more of these but hopefully I'll do a few throughout the production as it occurs to me.

    The Thing In The Distance

    by Elliot Cowan

    Uploaded

    The first new Boxhead and Roundhead adventure since 2008. Seen only at festivals and a little sneak preview online last September. It's still playing well at festivals around the world and picked up an award, which is jolly. It's a strange paranoid tale of obsession and hot tea.

    Brothers In Arms (2008)

    by Elliot Cowan

    Uploaded

    Brothers In Arms has been the most successful of the Boxhead and Roundhead shorts. It won a couple of awards, and an honorable mention or two. When it first played on Youtube, I got several emails from Gulf War veterans thanking me for it. Very humbling and probably undeserved, but nice to know it touched people. As ever, email me for DVDs if you want them. elliotcowanimation@yahoo.com

    On The Run! Put a character at opposite ends and have the meet in the middle. This was the brief I set myself on this one. For DVDs email me at elliotcowanimation@yahoo.com

    Safari (2007)

    by Elliot Cowan

    Uploaded

    For a long time this was my favorite stressful adventure. Originally, it was going to be a story about a visit to the zoo, but I couldn't work out a way to get all the animals out of their cages for the mayhem to commence. Personally, I'm very pleased with the timing of the gags. Email elliotcowanimation@yahoo.com for DVDs. They're free!

    The Infernal Machine (2006)

    by Elliot Cowan

    Uploaded

    This is was the first stressful adventure that wasn't based on one of the original books. It was the first of the films to ever play at a festival and the festival was Annecy, which was rather a lovely surprise. Take note of the complicated walk cycles...

As of late 2009, nine Boxhead and Roundhead short animated films have been completed. They've been in circulation at film festivals all over the world since 2006, playing some of the most important festivals in the world.

The Boxhead and Roundhead film, Brothers In Arms, won Best Animation at the River's Edge Film Festival, Best Film in Non Verbal Communication at the Animazing Spotlight and garnered a special mention at the Banjaluka International Festival of Animation.
In the words of the festival, "The Stressful Adventures of Boxhead & Roundhead: Brothers in Arms, a film that depicts the story about the futility of war using minimum resources and achieving maximum expression".

The most recent Boxhead & Roundhead film, "The Thing In The Distance", won a Golden Pencil Award at the prestigious 2D Or Not 2D Festival in Seattle, Washington. Festival director and animation legend Tony White said of the film, "Here’s a perfect example real innovation and yet a traditional approach combined. The somewhat spooky but extremely enjoyable “The Thing in the Distance” by Elliot Cowan is one you must not miss. Suffice it to say, you won’t have seen anything’ like it before!".

I'm always happy to give B&R compilation DVDs away. Write to elliotcowanimation@yahoo.com
