Chip and Bean Buy Nothing

Only 33 days left till Christmas. That's 33 days to panic about presents, to extend overdrafts and apply for another credit card. That's 72 hours to spend money you don't have on things your loved ones don't want or need -- things that usually end up in landfill. So this year before we start lets just stop. And think about alternative ways to show our love for each other and our planet.

Thanks to:

Simone Lia for giving us her time and talent to write and illustrate the story and also allowing us to work with the two cutest comic book heroes - Chip and Bean

Maya Kurasawa for donating her amazing animation skills to bring Chip and Bean to life on screen and Lee Allen for lending Bean his voice

James Everest for giving us park sounds and a perky little theme tune.

Haydn Secker for editing it all together so perfectly.

And Olivia Knight for sharing the idea and making it happen.

Finally thanks to eatbigfish and Brother Jude for giving us free studio time, tea and biscuits

At lot of love goes a long way...

This is cool - similar to our campaign forget the bling bling do the whanau (family) thing. Check out our facebook page! Or our cartoon Christmas Time In Northland on Youtube. This cartoon was made and voiced by young people rejecting the commercialisation of Christmas!
