Begone Dull Care (1949) is a visual music animated film directed by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart.

Winner of a Special Genie Award for experimental filmmaking. At the 1st Berlin International Film Festival it won the Silver Medal (Culture Films and Documentaries) award. The Canadian electronic music duo Junior Boys named their 2009 album Begone Dull Care for the film, which was reported to influenced its conception and creation.
