DIRK BREAKA
Renmotion
Dirk Breaka is the illest gangsta this side of the ghetto - breaking as many beats as he does hearts ...well, at least in his own mind. He may be only in the last year of primary school but he's going to be the greatest MC the world has ever seen - although his rival in the schoolyard Brakkas would dispute this claim.
In this film, Dirk and Brakkas find themselves in competition for attention with the new girl in school, Ashka from Botswana. This culminates in an after school MC
battle of epic proportions.
It's never too early too get your crunk on!
GHASTLY GOURMET
The People's Republic of Animation
Who do you call when there's a catering catastrophe? The Ghastly Gourmet team of course! Chip, Chop and Chunk are three beastly little chefs who can make a meal of (and out of) any situation, no matter how monstrous the request. Chip is the brains of the outfit, who makes sure they have the latest cooking contraptions at hand.
Chop, is a frightful little girl NOT made of sugar and spice and all things nice, who takes pleasure in slicing and dicing. And Chunk is a chubby chap who may be a few candles short of a birthday cake, but loyal to his friends' gourmets cooking needs.
Ghastly Gourmet is a gleefully gross cooking show not for the feint hearted or weak stomached!

HERB & RAY'S YUM
Sticky Pictures
Herb and Ray are two teenage slackers who have a cooking show on TV. Herb is the over-enthusiastic chef with the food skills and limited brain capacity. Ray is the cheeky camera hogging show pony who only wants to be on TV. In this film the fun starts when during a sushi episode, Ray goads Herb into a wasabi challenge. Herb eats heaps of the fiery green condiment and unknown to him, offends the Wasabi god and gets sent to wasabi rehabilitation on the dreaded Cloud 9. If Ray wants to get his friend back home he'll need to compete in an even trickier wasabi challenge: a sky-high dangerously pitched game show challenge known as Wasabi-bo!
THE IDDY BIDDY SHOW
Finkle Productions
Why is the sky the blue? Why is the world round?
Who cares...It's time to ask the life's little questions!
The questions kids really want to know...Like why do monkeys throw their poo? Who invented belly buttons? and where do farts go? Think you know the answers... well not these ones! It's time for Nick's Iddy Biddy Show. The pilot episode answers that eternal question why do dogs smell other dogs bums!
The answer is a tall tale illustrated by some twisted animation and some clever writing.

Sick of standing out, Louie tosses his gross food into his locker and tries to fit in by eating from the canteen. But his lunch, not happy, comes alive (!) - forming itself into a walking-talking-wisecracking food monster who won't leave Louie alone until he gets what he wants - Louie to eat him!
