    • The Goodnight Kiwi was a animated short used to signal the end of the broadcast day on Television New Zealand channels, before they began broadcasting 24/7. It aired from 1980 to 1994. It's a classic. Also the song playing is a instrumental arrangement of traditional Māori song,"Hine e Hine".
