This short animated video focuses on the concept of raising awareness in children about kindness and doing good deeds. The protagonist, Tyrion, practices kindness in a variety of situations and we see how it affects the lives around her, making Tyrion an "everyday hero."
The video demonstrates various acts of kindness in the lyrics and the visuals. It is very simple 2D animation and works well for this presentation. The idea is augmented with a lively music track by Diane Baumann, who is also the writer, director and voiceover talent of the piece. The key character is a purple dog-like character that performs random acts of kindness, such as picking up a wallet for a stranger, planting and watering seeds, carrying packages for someone and being a supportive friend - all of which make the world a better place. Doing kind things makes us all an everyday hero. The opening scene introduces the concept of everyday heroes and introduces us to Tyrion. All of the animation is well executed and very colorful. The entire video has an easy-to-follow message, appropriate for younger audiences and very positive without being cheesy. I commend the animation crew, Jaswinder Singh, Narinder Singh, Gurpreet Sing, for their outstanding work. Ms. Baumann's singing is also commendable. Along with the message about random acts of kindness is one about recycling. Because Tyrion is recycling, he causes a ripple effect for all of his friends to recycle as well.
The film's message is about how spreading random acts of kindness can make the world a better place.
I give Everyday Hero 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 5. By Emma O., KIDS FIRST!
