Ko Maui Me Te Ra - Maui and the Sun

Released
September, 2011
Info

The Pacific demi-god hero Maui has a plan to make Te Ra (Sun) move slower across the sky, so people can enjoy longer days.

This popular Maui legend is part of a larger AV experience developed by Story Inc. and produced by Dive Productions which can be seen at the Carter Observatory in Wellington, New Zealand. For this version of the animation we have re-recorded the narration in Te Reo and added subtitles and sound effects.
