What's in the box?! Cartoon Box is a delightful series of animated shorts by Joost Lieuwma that will no doubt win you over.

What's in the box?! Cartoon Box is a project by Joost Lieuwma. In August 2016, Joost decided to try and make one animated short each week. Now, 340 weeks later, there are 340 Cartoon Box episodes published on various online platforms, reaching millions of people. (Almost 7 million subscribers on Youtube!) It's a delightful series of short, snappy, in-your-face cartoons with an (un)healthy dose of dark humour. Drawn in Joost's signature style - simple, crude and dry-witted - the cartoons play with the viewer's expectations and often surprise with a dark twist. In these animated shorts - typically under a minute in length - Joost pays extra attention to detail and has a lot of care for the narrative and comedy timing.
