S.N.A.P Animated short Series

Client

Brief

Woolley Studios partnered with the Child Development Institute to produce 10 animated SNAP (Stop Now And Plan) shorts, each running 3–4 minutes and featuring 4–5 completely original characters. Every short introduced a new cast and scenario, helping kids see relatable situations from multiple perspectives.

Our goal was to make the lessons fun, clear, and emotionally engaging — blending education with entertainment so kids could stay focused and absorb key problem-solving skills.
