- This 16mm film was a typical public service type made by regional utility companies in the 1970's, and would have been made specifically to be shown in schools. Here we learn about how curiosity kills the cat (over and over and over). There are lots of flash frames in this one, so fair warning to those who are sensitive. I transferred this 16mm film with my own Eiki Telecine. Enjoyzzzzzzzzzap!

The beginning of this video reminded me of something I saw many years ago. I was in Boston, waiting for the subway. This particular branch used a third rail. The rail itself was hollow, and raised off the ground with insulators. There was a gap between sections of hollow rail, I'm guessing to allow for expansion. I believe there were short sections of bare cable acting as jumpers to connect rail sections.
So, I was waiting for the next train to arrive, and looking down at the track. I saw a mouse scurry across the ground, run up the insulator and into the hollow rail. I expected to witness the electrocution of a mouse, however the mouse's body was too short to complete the circuit.
So this mouse had stumbled onto the perfect place to live, guarded by a 600V booby trap waiting to fry any predators.

Love these old informational films...takes me back to when I saw them live :)
I love the old video reels. I really appreciate the time you take to transfer the videos, for little gain.
When I see these trippy old educational films I wonder "who were these made for?" And then I realize it's me, Gen X. What a weird and beautiful time to grow up.
Touch that high voltage line, kitty, and use up all 9 lives at once! I know, I KNOW! Cute cartoon pretty much got it right on all counts. The lightning 🌩 part was a bit unexpected. Love this stuff! Thanks for posting.
...except for pouring water on an electrical fire after you've unplugged the power supply. Capacitors are a bitch for biting you in the ass when you least expect it.
ZOW! Seeing that old Los Angeles DWP logo rekindled many a memory!
I like the round corners! :)
I recognize the voice actors as the same ones heard in “Fractured Fairytales” I guess that fits to the time frame of when it was made.
Grew up in LA and definitely had a DWP comic about electricity safety at some point growing up, but never caught a recording of this. Love this specific era of low budget stylized early 70s animation, it makes me feel nice
I remember this video from school about 40 years ago. Wow.
Thanks for putting this up Fran.
This has a very 'Roger Ramjet' look about it. Don Schloat, Alan Zaslove, Bill Hutton, George Nicholas, and Fred Crippen were the animators on RR.
I remember watching this in school, and we even got a comic book adaptation to go along with it. I hadbeen trying to remember the title, and it popped up in my recommendations this very morning!
I loved this. Made the year I was born!
Mmmmm that gorgeous rounded corner goodness😉
Thank you Fran, another little gem❤️
Anyone who enjoyed this might also enjoy The Energy Carol, a National Film Board of Canada animated production made about the same time as this (give or take), although the theme is energy conservation rather than electrical safety.
Poor kitty, zapped so many times... Fortunately they have nine lives, right?
...right? :D
I remember cartoon character named Reddy Kilowatt in locally shown films provided to the schools to promote power line and home electrical safety.
Classic school film look! Thanks for putting this in the internets....
It's interesting how they got their points across without having to talk about or define a "circuit".
Even more frenetic when viewed at 2x!
Wondering if Portafilms hired Jay Ward to produce the animation. His studio was just a couple miles away from LADWP on Sunset with a prominent Rocky and Bullinkle statue in front.
Nice telecine. Brava, Fran!
It appears that LADWP had rights to distribute it, but it was originally made for consumers energy if you look at the end credits.
Another great little gem.
There was a kids TV show in the UK called ZZZap! When I was growing up... The kind of thing that made us all uncomfortable and then we promptly forgot about it- until reminded by random CZcams videos, of course!
Thanks, Fran, for the work you put in to putting this online.
Loving the groovy animation…..those were the days!
I love electrical safety films, or just any films on electricity in general.
I remember a 9 volt battery called 9 lives with a lightning bolt cat on it, It was red in color.
Thank you fran to take the time and effort to coserve those cool pieces of informative Media for the future.
Thank you Fran. That was a great video!
This is a really charming film!
Great film! Reminds me of all the times I've done the 60 cycle shuffle. ZAP! 😖⚡
Two things are blatantly obvious from watching this. 1) The script writer hated cats. 2) 2:57 The animator never had a cat.
@@0neIntangible I refuse to watch that movie. I've only seen that part because my father watched it every Christmas for a while. 🤣
Cuuuute! Neat! Fun! THANKS!, Fran!
The commentary voice sounds very similar to the one used in the First Jurassic Park movie to explain the DNA extraction and Splicing process during the 'tour'.
I like the wobbly audio. Very cool.
A military ship is made of steel and the electrical system is designed to continue working after battle damage. An aircraft is made of aluminum and electrical circuits are 'one wire' to reduce weight.
That genuinely made me laugh out loud a couple of times.
Oh boy Sunday morning cartoons!
Reminds me of the animation of that time period. Remember the Harry Nilsson movie "The Point"?
Thanks for the video. Something is very familiar about this video, I believe I saw it as a kid. =]
nice xfer..there's just something about this crude low-res style animation, similar to Fractured Fairy Tales, that helps get the message through, you're not as distracted by little details...maybe it's an ADD thing-
Loved the video keep up the good work
There are also a ton of Periscope films from this era and before. Such a great historical reference. :-)
Nice.
That was groovy man.
To teach kids about the dangers about electricity, this is really good film. Lots of clear examples.
But for learning about plain electricity & electric power, I'm afraid it's not as good as Schoolhouse Rock's "Electricity!" from the same time period. That one's shorter, punchier, memorable song and a lot more flashes-per-minute. Still, "Electricity" didn't really mention safety.
Well, wasn't that a shocker!😃
That's groovy.
Ahh, cute video. :)
Mighty Mousogynistic Mouse Mouse-splaining!
There was an excellent tidbit of MISinformation during the super storm Sandy in New York. Mayor Bloomberg, with various emergency professionals standing side by side with him, was giving "advice" to the citizenry. One of the things he said was not to touch any downed power lines THAT WERE SPARKING. You could see some of the professionals seemed uneasy with that bad advice, but none were brave enough to speak up. Of course, you should never touch ANY downed power line, sparking or not, because it can be energized. And, of course, the news media I was watching didn't at any point add in a correction to that bad advice.
And you should never approach one by walking as the step voltage is enough to electrocute you.
@@KeritechElectronics Absolutely true. People have died from the potential across the ground if they took a stride. If you are in that situation and trying to walk away, you are supposed to shuffle, or perhaps hop. Never take a stride.
that was terrible. I loved it!!!

Don't forget Lightning bolts..ZZAAAAPPPP....!!!!!!!!!!!!....
Itchy and Scratchy The Early Years.
In the UK we had this one.. czcams.com/video/uT_wwkCoBL8/video.html , I actually remember it pretty well. It was probably relevant but stunt kites (two strings) were a rage back then... the best place for me was a ploughed field down the lane... funny... now I think of it there were pythons running through it. Lucky to still be here! (Peter Powell Stunt Kite... oh the memories!)
And by watching this film, Robert Crumb finally conceived the name of his new comic. (Note; this attempt at humor is not true and requires no corrections)
