A cute animated lesson in fire safety, by some familiar and likeable characters, Timon and Pumbaa. The familiarity of the characters helps engage kids in the film. They address all the basics, from changing your smoke detector battery, having an escape plan and even the specifics of how a fire starts, all while reminding kids to have an adult help them. This film plays well in an educational setting and is meant for a very specific purpose while still being fun to watch. I love the director's philosophy: "We believe that exposing children to safety films will ultimately result in the saving of lives because these are topics of universal concern and appeal that transcends culture, language and ethnic boundaries."
'Get down, get out and stay out!' That's just one of the lessons Timon and Pumbaa share to help students understand what to do in a fire emergency. From smoke alarms, fire escape plans and preventative measures such as not playing with matches, Timon and Pumbaa review their Safety Smart Checklist full of valuable and life-saving fire safety information.
