MetLife Releases Animated Short Film to Demystify Insurance for Consumers
Posted on: Thursday, 5 June 2008, 12:00 CDT
MetLife, the nation's largest life insurer and leading provider of employee benefits, continued its 140-year tradition of providing education to consumers when it released a new animated short film entitled "Everybody into the Pool." The film, which features Snoopy(R), aims to demystify how insurance works by explaining in layperson's terms the powerful and efficient financial principle that makes insurance possible and within reach: risk pooling.
With a catchy jingle, the "Everybody into the Pool" film is presented in the spirit of the Schoolhouse Rock! animated songs from the 1970s and 1980s, which taught an entire generation about government, history, grammar, science, and math. MetLife's new film - available at http://www.youtube.com/MetLife - is designed to help the American public understand how insurance works and also explains as a public service how insurance contributes to the good of society.
MetLife's film features lyrics such as:
So what is insurance, what does it do? Well, let me explain it to you. Down the road of life "ifs" are everywhere If the house, if the kids, if your back needs repair. From past experience we can say One of those "ifs" will happen to someone today.
And a catchy chorus, too:
Marco...Polo It's just not cost effective to go solo. Marco...Polo Everybody into the pool
