One of the main objectives of the Puppet Planet Project is the creation and wide dissemination through social media, of a series of video clips about environmental and current issues:
FULECO - The official mascot of the 2014 FIFA World Cup represents an ARMADILLO, an animal native from Brazil listed as an endangered species. His name combines Futebol (football) and Ecologia (ecology). This video clip has an ecological happy end. Thanks to the football championship watched by millions of people around the world, awareness is raised to help protecting this animal. Hopefully, the armadillo population will be preserved. The big winner of the FIFA world cup in Brazil is the Fuleco FC team.
By preserving our planet everybody can enjoy life and be happy! A creative way of combining pop song with the art of puppetry and multimedia tools. At the creative economy era, imagination can bring together different artistic expressions. Funny and joyful for all ages from 3 to 90 years. Thanks to Pharrell Williams for his talent and generosity.
This first video clip it's a trailer who presents the Puppet Planet show. An initiative put forward by the United Nations to promote culture, creativity and sports while sensitizing the public, in particular children about climate change and environmental issues. This animation film brings together traditional puppetry, new media technologies and music as creative artistic expressions. The Puppet Planet Show was performed in Rio de Janeiro as part of the official cultural program of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development 2012 - Rio+20 Summit.
The video clip is posted at YouTube and at the webpage of WMO and UNCTAD
