Cartoons Can Get You Walking

Cartoons are fun to sit and watch. But these cartoons have a mission. To get adults and kids up and moving. The mini-movies were created by six students at the New England Institute of Art, with music by a student at the Berklee College of Music. The 3D movie starts with three people walking to work together. A bus pulls up, then a cab, then they go by an elevator. Each time, a member of the group pulls another one away from the transportation temptation and instead the group happily continues walking. The 2D project depicts two children walking through Boston Common. The statues of Ben Franklin and Paul Revere come alive and walk with them. Even the duckling statues join the procession. We hope that anyone who watches them will be encouraged to get out and walk!
