Cartoons that challenge the world to invest
in children
Fourteen of the world's top animation studios have created a
unique 'toon that you've got to see. It's called "Spread
the Jam."
Each studio created one segment in the 'toon…covering an
issue, such as HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, war and substance
abuse, that children around the world deal with as they grow up.
The characters don't speak any one language, but use the different
scenes, facial expressions and body movements to make their messages
about children's challenges loud and clear so they can be understood
by a wide global audience.
The studios created these segments for UNICEF at no cost, donating
their time to this project as a way to contribute to the Global
Movement for Children, a growing alliance of groups and individuals
working to change the world for and with children.
