The Aardman studio, known best for creating Wallace & Gromit, made the rollicking cinema commercial below for the NSPCC's anti-sexual abuse "Pants" campaign in the U.K. The ad is a four-minute music video for a song, produced by Adelphoi Music and voiced by X Factor's Peter Dickson, urging children to speak up if someone tries to touch them inappropriately.

Man, it sucks that they waited until after Jimmy Savile's death to make this.

Anyway, the NSPCC's Peter Wanless says he's proud of Aardman's "child-friendly and catchy animation," and seems especially proud of the fact that it avoids "scary words or even mentioning sex."
