I gave in and watched Avatar the other day.

When the credits rolled and the ‘Weta Workshops, Wellington NZ’ came up on the screen, I had a massive moment of national pride.

It reminded me of the Pineapple lumps ad:

All you other countries can have your fancy sports people and actors and other stuff… here in NZ, we changed the way movies are made. Also (FYI) we design a lot of those super awesome boats that all your famous people buy and make a lot of the other cool behind the scenes stuff that you rely on to be fast, famous and fabulous.

Congratulations to everyone who worked on Avatar, it was well worth the hype, we were well and truly transported to another world. I was blown away.
