Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
bro'Town was NZ's first primetime animated series and remains one of the few mainstream Pacific Islander-led shows globally.
Michael Jones' cameo as the PE teacher wasn't random — the real All Black is a devout Christian who famously refused to play Sundays, which the show absolutely roasted him for.
