In this early 2000s teen series, skaters Jeff and Noodle stumble upon an alien conspiracy in the town of Middledon. The two slackers are the only ones who can resist being mind controlled, and somehow stop their beloved skate park being "wasted" and turned into a mall. The energetic caper features future World fashion designer Benny Castles as Jeff, Rawiri Paratene as Gran Pekapeka (!), while Antony Star channels teen slacker icon Jeff Spicoli. The Screenworks show featured dream scenes by company Animation Research Limited.
