 The film was inspired by a series of spots made for MTV as idents to  go between music videos. The team behind the project first made them  in the hope that MTV would air them at least once, but MTV loved  them. They were soon picked up by all the MTV regions in Europe,  Canada, South America, Australia and Asia. They even dubbed the  spots into German. It wasnt long before they commissioned more  spots, and even flew the guys to London to shoot some "Crazy Monkey  in the UK".
