Men of Steel (Australia)

Objects from the kitchen come alive under 3 mad chefs.
Tongs, cake mixer, blender, stove, saucepan, forks, spoons, straws, cups... you name it, they have it.
2 little steel man moulds come to life and embark on their adventure.
Steel man cut the apple stomach of the steel woman open and tata! A steel baby is born.
The little steel men met a saucepan baby and lured it to fire with an oil bottle. Ting! Within minutes, saucepan baby is asleep on the stove and exploding with popcorns.
Steel men made gingerbread men out of doughs. However, the doughs are not working well and we see puppeteers tearing hands and legs out of each other's gingerbread man to make up for their own.
This is definitely not a children's show. Do Singaporeans actually see the message behind these snippets?
It's time to overturn the equation. No, puppet shows are not equivalent to children's shows.
