The Itch of the Golden Nit is an animated children's short film distributed the BBC. This particular movie is unique because most of the characters, backgrounds, objects, and etc. were drawn by kids all over the UK. The film was animated by Aardman Animation and a listing for the film is displayed on their website. A British art company named Tate had a lot of involvement with the movie itself. This movie is directed by Sarah Cox, who I couldn't find much info on. The movie was voiced by a cast including Rik Mayall, Catherine Tate,and David Tennant to name a few. Also, the movie won a Guinness World Record for "Most participants in a collaborative animated film project". The summary of the film is on the British Film Council's website.
11 year old Beanie’s bland life changes forever when Evil Stella and her flaming side-kick Fireboy show up in his back garden one day after school. Evil Stella is after The Golden Nit and kidnaps Beanie’s Mum and Dad thinking they have it.
But this is no ordinary nit. The Golden Nit is the battery that powers the sun and if Beanie doesn’t get it home by sunset the sun will die and the universe is doomed.
Aided by his shouty older sister Beryl, who has been shrunk to the size of a doll by one of Stella’s electric bubbles, Beanie sets out on a crazy adventure to rescue his parents and save the universe.
Armed only with a tube of lazer lip gloss and some blend-in pants, their quest takes them across galaxies via a superhero supermarket, through wormholes, and up the Hairy Scary River escaping from moody mermaids and gold-thirsty pirates along the way. Beanie is helped, and hindered, by Ten Heart Hero who isn’t quite the hero Beanie first thinks he is. When it comes down to it – there really is only one hero who can save the day!
Itch for the Golden Nit was screened at the Tate Britain, London, UK, on 14 June 2011. The movie had a limited released on DvD; I couldn't find any website or any place where I could actually buy it. It also can't be watched on the BBC iPlayer, BBC's streaming service. Stills from the movie can be found with an easy Google search. A few clips of the movie can be found on Vimeo and a "Making Of" video can be found on YouTube. A book based off of the movie was released along with the film.
