Our animated hero questions his sanity after blowing his top and driving his car into a police station. This should be shown more often. it's simple, honest, and to tell you the truth, his friend george is really cool. if only everyone has a friend like him.
Sonny Bono appears onscreen to tell kids that marijuana is a "bummer" that turns you into a "weedhead" and will make you "trip out" (the fact that, based upon his performance, Sonny appears to have ingested unknown substances before the cameras started rolling tends to limit the film's crediblity somewhat). The film is actually a lot of fun! You will be disturbed, yet hysterical all the way through.
This 1969 film is about drug education propaganda film from the 60’s. This time the focus is on Heroin.
(1969) The American Social Health Association was always experimenting with new ways to educate the public about venereal disease. They helped produce the first VD education film, "Fit to Fight", in 1918 in order to educate soldiers being shipped abroad to fight in the first World War. Although this popular TV public service announcement informs the public that everybody is susceptible to venereal disease, strangely, it also seems to imply that having VD will make you successful, attractive and happy. Also, the song is quite infectious...
LSD: Case Study (1969) is another one of your anti-drug films that they showed middle school kids. This time it's about the evils of acid (a.k.a. LSD).
