Hello lost media peoples!
Recently found two videos that were lost / poorly known.
The first one is this stop motion animation
"Turtle World"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF_NFNx5LHQ
between 2000 and 2010
Directed by Nick Hilligoss.
Executive Producer, Dione Gilmour.
Funded by the Natural History Unit, Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Distributed by bullfrog films and the ABC.
A stop-motion short film about sentient monkeys that live on the shell of a giant flying turtle.
The monkeys technologically progress over years until the giant turtle dives back into the water.
The second one (more of a nostalgia trip) is this VHS.
An old 90's animated rendition of Joseph Rudyard Kipling's "how the leopard got his spots".

And here is the oddbodz Australian collectable card series that were originally distributed from 1995 - 1996 in Smiths chips.

These are highly unique and unusual in the world of collectable cards...
-> They brightly glowed in the dark in three different colors.
-> They emitted different smells if you scratched them.
-> They contained thermal secret messages that only became visible when warmed up by your hands.
-> Some had holograms that could only be viewed with a special plastic lens.
-> They had iridescent metallic bits just like some modern-day pokemon cards.
-> Others had secret messages that were revealed by scratching off ink like lottery tickets.
As far as I know, no other collectable set of cards has ever been produced in the world in all of recorded history
with all these features combined together.
Even stranger is the fact that they were free and came in ordinary packets of chips despite being obviously expensive
and complicated to manufacture. As if some wealthy executive with a sense of humor at Smiths Chips decided
to throw away a few million dollars to entertain Australian kids.
