Disney was going green and to help communicate its efforts, I developed two seasons of a show, with a total of 16 two-minute clips, about two bored teenagers who start building weird machines with extraordinary functions. We actually built all of the machines – entirely from trash. The program is about upcycling and, because it’s always difficult to give new “things” a name, we simply called it “Thinx”. So next time you throw something away, think about “Thinx”, or as we say in German: “Dingx”.
