This is a PSA that treats fire safety like a real problem instead of a talking point. A village of animals learning to live with electricity, not out of curiosity, but necessity, captures the exact moment Japan had to choose between progress and the mistakes that come with it. The show knows its audience isn't looking for entertainment; they're looking for their house not to burn down.

Set in a village populated by animals, this one-episode special is an educational film about fire safety in the home. It shows how to handle electrical appliances properly and what to watch for so that electrical fires never start. The Japan Insurance Association commissioned the film during Japan's economic boom, when households that had lived in plain wooden homes were suddenly acquiring televisions, refrigerators, kotatsu and rice cookers. Many families did not yet know how to use these machines safely, and fires became common as a result, most often from heat-producing devices left unattended and from too many plugs crowded into one socket.
