The Head Vanishes (French:Une tête disparaît) is a 2016 Canada/France animated short by Franck Dion about a woman with dementia who is determined to make her annual train trip to the seaside.

Dion began to work on the film in 2014, after deciding to depart from a feature-film project.

[1][2][3] A key narrative element in the film is the central character literally "losing her head" on the train trip—again inspired by a true-life anecdote involving his ill grandmother, who had once asked Dion's mother to fetch her head from under the sink, believing that it had rolled under there.

[1][4] Dion used 3D models in order to communicate to his animators what he was looking for and emphasized economy of movement and simple, character-based gestures.

[4] In December 2016, it received the Best Canadian Screenplay Award at the Whistler Film Festival.
