Featuring the voices of Jemaine Clement and Olivia Tennet, with music by Don McGlashan, Kiri and Lou is quietly one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most successful franchises. From Nickelodeon to the BBC, the series has broken into children’s programming lineups alongside shows like Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig, and Bluey, picking up a BAFTA nomination along the way.
With its signature hand-crafted, stop-motion claymation style, Kiri and Lou takes kids on prehistoric musical adventures that explore themes of empathy and friendship, a welcome antidote to the fast-paced, noisy world of children’s content today.
“Kiri and Lou Go Raaa! marks the evolution of the series from five-minute, bite-sized episodes into its first feature-length adventure. A major milestone for the franchise, the film brings its fully fledged, kūmara-eating Kiwiana charm to a story with plenty for parents and tamariki alike.” - Heperi Mita
