'From the award winning Men of Steel, comes a new show for the whole family. Replaced by a suite of Swedish minimalist homewares, a pile of abandoned furniture awaits a trip to the tip. As the hour of judgement approaches, the hard rubbish decides it’s fightin’ time. Bringing new meaning to the term ‘moving house’, these wildly inventive object puppeteers will have you rethinking your relationships with the most ordinary household objects.' (Men of Steel' website, 2013)

A mixture of live-action, puppetry, animation, and documentary, Lift Off centred on a group of children who lived in the same neighbourhood and whose imaginations made their environment a world of fun and excitement. However, the program also explored issues such as pain, loneliness, jealousy, and anger. The program was aimed at three-year-old to eight-year-old viewers (as defined by Harvard University developmental psychologist Howard Gardner), and was linked to school curricula through the Curriculum Corporation of Australia.
