    Amazing, i saw this at the sydney opera house. Rubberhouse needs more recognition within Australia itself.

    Well, mamma mia, all I have to say. I already want toys of the father, the baby and the mother. And I think I have a new group to look forward to.

      Thanks Katy! I based the mother and father characters on my own parents. We designed some t-shirts based on the video which should be available soon. As for toys, we can only dream!

    We have to get beyond mom, dad, sissy and brother looking like they live in another time zone. Unless someone in their 60′s is driving the animation bus it is high time to try to update how parents are depicted in animation.

      Well, in this case the use of those stereotypes is totally justified given the retro-tonge-in-cheek vibe of the song.

    I see where you’re coming from Muffles, but in this case we wanted it to feel like a typical family being torn apart by new technology.

    We were actually going for more of an 80′s vibe, because that’s when the Cottolion organ would have been “State of the Art.” That’s why we chose a sleazy businessman dad, a Princess Di shoulder padded mum, the Degrassi Jr High sister and a BMX Bandit brother with an Action Man toy.

    Plus, as I said earlier, the actually family was based on my own. It would be ingeniune to pretend I had a wild, new age family…because I didn’t.

    Are the violin strings a tribute to “Fantasia”?
