Premise

The format of each episode is The Electric Company-esque. Each half-hour episode consists of at least seven 2-to-5-minute educational games.

Production

Crashbox was created and developed by Planet Grande Pictures (consisting of Eamon Harrington and John Watkin) and is animated by Cuppa Coffee Studios, headed by Adam Shaheen. Planet Grande Pictures engaged award-winning Cuppa Coffee Studios 7 months to complete 13 hours of programming
