For 8 years, SHINY has brought children's entertainer Deano Yipadee's characters to life through animation — including Nee Naw the fire truck and the Stink-o-saurus — reaching kids across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK.

Deano keeps coming back because the work holds up: characters that move well, animation that doesn't get in the way of the story, and books that translate properly to screen.
