During an era that was particularly bad for animated shorts, the Board stood out for its exceptional artistic output. Several animated shorts from the Board got Oscar nominations/wins during this era.

While the board is well known for its {{Documentary}} films (some inspired the likes of Creator/StanleyKubrick, Creator/KenBurns and Creator/GeorgeLucas) and some dramatic features (ex: ''Film/MonOncleAntoine'', ''Film/JesusOfMontreal'' and the Oscar-nominated ''The Decline of the American Empire''), the Board is most famous internationally for its animation, which has garnered several awards, including Oscars. Although it got started with Creator/{{Disney}} in early UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, it had its glory years during UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation when it was a shining light of pure artistic excellence. Its documentaries have received a bit of a boost in recognition after being cited as a key influence on Scottish electronic band Music/BoardsOfCanada, who even named themselves after the Board.
