Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made by a trio of Weta Digital animators in their spare time over four years—essentially a passion project that out-charms most studio holiday specials.
The film deliberately centers Māori voices and Pacific Islander experiences of isolation, something almost unheard of in Christmas media dominated by Northern Hemisphere snow tropes.
