Animation video to encourage vaccinations

KUALA LUMPUR: Monsta, the intellectual property and animation company behind the BoBoiboy and Papa Pipi series, has produced a short video featuring their popular animated duo Papa Pipi encouraging the public to get vaccinated.

Monsta’s head of international brand and sales Faiz Zainal Aabidin said as a brand that supports family values and protecting loved ones, Monsta was keen to assist in the government’s call for the public to get vaccinated under the National Covid19 Immunisation Programme.

“The Covid-19 virus spreads at every second, so getting vaccinated is important to prevent its proliferation.

“This special short video shows Papa Zola, who has this fear of needles or any type of injections. However, to protect the well-being of his daughter Pipi Zola and the whole family, Papa Zola decided to go to a vaccination centre to get the jab,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Also featured in the video is Tok

Aba, the grandfather of local superhero series BoBoiBoy, as a vaccine recipient.

The short video can be viewed on Monsta’s official YouTube channel or on the Papa Pipi and BoBoiBoy social media pages, with the hashtag #CucukVaksinJadiHero.

It was also aired on local television stations as well as on an Indonesian television channel. Last year, Papa Pipi public service announcement videos on Covid-19, titled Pesanan Papa Pipi: Duduk Rumah Diam Diam! Jauhi Covid-19! and the song Ayuh Cuci Tangan sparked a phenomenon on YouTube. – Bernama
