“We have been working to build this lovely illustrated world for a few years now with recurring fun characters and celebrating the Australian chrissy spirit!”

Dunder, the reindeer
from down under.
We have made a Christmas spot that embraces the challenges which many Aussies have been experiencing through the covid lockdowns of 2021. The script tackles the issue head on by bringing humour and alternate ways of sending the Christmas cheer into the mix.
We have used our existing design sense of a storybook aesthetic; detailed and painterly backgrounds with family friendly and fun character designs. Truly beautiful design and animation makes this Christmas film shine like Santas sleigh in the sky.
Bin Chicken, with your
nose so bright…
Creating animation with a distinct style and focus on the craft allows us to really enhance the emotions in a Christmas story, while also creating a modern story of inclusivity and joy.
and the most decent human beings you’ll probably ever meet…
