Celebrating Oral Health Month, New Zealand’s Studio 2 program recently unleashed The Adventures of the Colgate Taste Buddies Competition. Kids were challenged to create a comic strip featuring the Colgate Taste Buddies, and the winning submission would be animated by Mukpuddy, the New Zealand-based Flash-animation studio.

The winners were Liam and Rachel Thompson, and after their character designs were polished by the Muks, the short went into a blindingly-fast 2 week production. You can see pre-production materials over at the Mukpuddy blog and below is the resulting animated short.
