Thanks for your work. Good clear explanation. I think it’s great that you and TLYCS are working together. I’ll be really curious as to how this does. The puppet and animation quality is really high.
I think it’s great for children though it should be made clear that’s the target audience. I would worry adults in the altruism sector would see it and think TLYCS were being patronising towards them. Sometimes EA has this reputation anyway.
I think there is room for a darker/ more self depricating music piece for adults. Your other video (about economics) hit that tone well for me.
Looking forward to more stuff like this if you are gonna keep working on it. Maybe TLYCS tiktok? :P
Cheers for the kind words Nathan, and for all the feedback!
In actual fact I didn’t make the video with children in mind originally, more as just a playful and colourful celebration of the work of TLYCS. I totally see how it comes across as aiming at kids (it’s cartoons and puppets, fergoodnesssake), and I think based on feedback TLYCS received they’ve decided to use it this way. I really hope it isn’t construed as being patronising, though I can see how it might!
I’m totally up for exploring other tones and ways to discuss ideas around EA, I think there are many creative ways to do this. I hope to do more projects in the future to help promote EA ideas and organisations (I’m busy with other work and new baby right now) and I’m excited about the different ways to do that.

I produce some rap and would enjoy collaborating if you’d ever like to.
Regardless, thanks so much for your work!
