Kiwi! is a 2006 computer-generated animation created by Dony Permedi, a student in the New York City School of Visual Arts, as his Master's Thesis Animation, with music composed and performed by Tim Cassell. The animation's story of a kiwi bird that aspires to fly created a major Internet phenomenon after it was hosted on the video sharing site YouTube.
As of April 2008, the animation has been viewed over 17 million times, making it the most popular video in the "Film & Animation" category [1] and one of the most popular on the entire site [2]. It won official recognition on March 26, 2007 when viewers voted it the Most Adorable video of 2006 in the first annual YouTube Video Awards[1]. This was an event large enough to draw international media attention[2][3][4] with ABC news describing Kiwi! as "so cute it hurts"[2] while the International Herald Tribune, critical of the awards, characterized the video as being "sweet but dull."[4]
