SNAP and Schlafman Preach Prevention for Uh-Ohs
The Massachusetts-based National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), has partnered with Scott Nash’s SNAP Studios to create a series of educational safety shorts.
According to the NFPA, The Uh-Ohs are “block-shaped critters that are cute, curious and careless,” and Nash explains that each episode will feature Rounders, friendly, hard working animals, who try to prevent the Uh-Ohs from hurting themselves. The property will be rolling out coloring books, key chains, t-shirts and plans for an animated series are in the works. Below we learn three safety messages: always enter the water feet first, stay 3 feet away from a hot stove and always wear a helmet when you ride a bike. Nash brought in Dave Schlafman to co-write and direct and Casey Leonard helped out on the animation front.

The animation on this is wonderful, and the design rocks. But I think it kind of makes physical injury seem kind of funny and kids might take it the wrong way. Not all kids respond to lessons the same way of course, some may learn from this and others might try and see what it’s like to fall off their bike without a helmet.
Just a thought.
