Prepare with Pedro

American Red Cross

When an emergency happens, it’s important to know what to do. Prepare with Pedro is a preparedness education program for youth featuring Pedro the Penguin. Inspired by the preparedness education program from the American Red Cross, we created a song-filled video series featuring Pedro the Penguin. By bringing this book character to life, we hoped to reach younger audiences through quirky, catchy tunes.

With the Covid-19 pandemic, there were a few obstacles to overcome while working on this series. Casting and directing children, song-writing, new software, and collaborating with multiple animators across various scenes led to the series we would love to know as Prepare with Pedro. By adapting storybook characters and imagining up new scenarios, we were able to depict relationships and friendships to help tell Pedro’s story to audiences young and old.
