Curator’s notes
The Adventures of Bottle Top Bill and His Best Friend Corky is a computer-animated series aimed at children aged three to six. The animation is a mixture of CGI, 2D and stop motion. In the show, mundane 'found objects’ form the animated characters. Series creator and director Cameron Chittock:
Bottle Top Bill is about inspiring young kids to tell stories using bits and pieces found around the home. As Bill and Corky travel through each story, the characters they meet and the places they go to materialise from bits of junk that every kid might find around them.
Bottle Top Bill is produced in Singapore and is a co-production between Southern Star Entertainment, the ABC, the UK’s Channel Five and EDB in Singapore. Chittock’s team of 50 people produce one twelve-minute episode per month.
