This documentary looks at how the strings were pulled on Peter Jackson's low-budget puppet movie Meet the Feebles. An old Wellington railway shed fizzes with energy and imagination as a team peppered with future Oscar-winners crafts the gleefully subversive Muppets parody.

Back in 2005 two filmmakers tried to defeat their nemesis by making a film about a giant monkey on the cheap and, with the help of a look-a-like, sell it before the New Zealander could. These two con men are not only dangerous, but are notorious for their association with such figures as Ian McKellen (Lord Of The Rings, X-Men) and Brian Sibley (Author of “Peter Jackson: A Film-maker's Journey”). This comedy follows the exploits of these two thieves and reveals the dark past and sinister secrets shared by them all.
