Penguin Slide

-

Bret Nicol, Miles Rowland, Kate Nicol, Michael Pedri, & Joel Saju

A penguin takes the plunge, sliding belly-first down a snowy slide while a group of  onlookers cheer from the sidelines. Bursting with energy and winter fun, this scene  captures the joy of simple moments outdoors. The motion of the slide and the gathered  crowd bring the moment to life, creating shared laughter and excitement. Designed to  make the community smile, it’s a lighthearted reminder that winter is about fun,  connection, and a little bit of silliness.

Hulk Thinker 

-

Paul Valitalo

The Hulk strikes a thoughtful pose, inspired by Auguste Rodin’s iconic “The Thinker”  sculpture, showing a side of the hero that’s rarely seen. Strong and powerful, yet  surprisingly pensive, he seems to pause and consider the world around him. This playful  scene invites visitors to imagine a lighter, more whimsical side of a familiar hero, blending  strength with curiosity and reflection. Full of energy and fun, it encourages kids and adults  alike to pause, smile, and enjoy the humour in seeing someone so mighty take a moment to  think. It’s a reminder that even heroes need a pause now and then — and sometimes,  thinking can be just as impressive as action

Inuik

-

Duncan Weller

A boy balances on the edge of a drifting iceberg as waves ripple beneath him, while curious  polar bears climb up on the opposite side. Inspired by Weller’s upcoming picture book Inuik, this scene brings a moment from the story to life, full of suspense, adventure, and  imagination. The contrasting sides of the iceberg create playful tension that invites viewers  to wonder what might happen next. Designed to spark curiosity and delight, it’s a reminder  that stories can leap off the page and into the winter landscape, inviting families to explore  and imagine along with the characters.
