As more and more educational institutions turn to animation as a way of sharing their knowledge and inspiring the next generation, we thought we\u2019d put together 5 of our all time favourite animated explainer films, along with a few reasons why we think they\u2019re so great.<\/p>\n

1. Things You Need To Know<\/h3>\n

Things You Need To Know<\/a>\u00a0uses a surreal sense of humour and a collage style of animation to explore ideas, facts and expert opinions on a given subject.<\/p>\n

The films are structured around an everyday question that the audience is likely to have already pondered, such as \u2018Why do cats have 9 lives?\u2019, or \u2018Why does ice cream hurt my head?\u2019. This human-centric approach helps the audience relate to the subject and understand how it directly affects them, while appealing to their thirst for knowledge and pub quiz style trivia.<\/p>\n

Another thing they do well is to use everyday objects and events as points of reference, to make more abstract concepts understandable to the audience at home.<\/p>\n

Visually and tonally, these films suit the requirements of the KS4 and 5 audience more than the younger students. These age groups can feel patronised when presented with anthropomorphized objects or animals, but this almost \u2018Python-esque\u2019 use of bizarre analogies and unexpectedly whimsical imagery creates a platform to explain the science in a way that is entertaining, memorable and informative.<\/p>\n
