**Get Up and Play** is an Ad Council PSA regarding childhood obesity. Other partners seen in this PSA are the The United States Department of Health and Human Services.

## Summary

The PSA begins with three members from the LPGA, Lorena Ochoa, Karrie Webb, and Natalie Gulbis outside.

When Webb throws the ball, a boy kicks it in the right direction, which Gulbis comments she was right. A montage follows of children doing activities outside as an upbeat jingle begins that repeats. The final logo slide features the children running up a hill with a sunset background.

## Script

**Lorena Ochoa:** I think it breaks a little to the left.

**Natalie Gulbis:** Uh uh, right.

**Karrie Webb:** No, straight.

(Webb throws the ball and a blue-shirted boy kicks it in the air, and it goes back to the three)

**Natalie Gulbis:** I told you it was going right.

**Singers:** Get up, get up, get up, and be a player! Get up, get up, get up!

## Notes

* The 15 second version cuts out the clip where Gulbis goes "I told you it was going right". It shortens the montage and the logos appear early, particularly at the scene when the kids run fast while holding hands in a circle.
* At the final shot in the 15 second cut, the children can be seen simply hiking up the hill rather than running. Here, the sound clip of "Get up and play, an hour a day" is played. In the 30 second version, it was played at the scene before where the children run and jump over a jump rope as Webb and Gulbis shake it around on the ground, which is cut in the 15 second spot.
* Also because the previous scene was removed, the written "Get up and play, an hour a day" caption is placed over the sunset hill, where "smallstep.gov" would be. The smallstep.gov domain is placed down on the level of the Ad Council and HHS logo.
* The PSA premiered on June 22, 2007.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

**Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2** is an animated film that had a tie in Ad Council PSA regarding famine, advertising Feeding America.

## Summary

Flint analyzes to his partner Barry the strawberry that 1 in 5 kids in America struggle with hunger, which he questions because there's plenty of food in the country to feed them all, as we see footage of a watering hole with food-created creatures at it. Barry, in his language, suggests teaming up with Feeding America and solve this. We see additional footage of Flint and Sam giving kids sandwiches and bananas and corns, and the final footage before the logos are a crowd cheering, some of them holding food.

## Script

**Flint:** Barry! Time is running out! According to my calculations, 1 in 5 kids in America struggles with hunger. How can so many children face hunger, when there's more than enough food to feed them all?

**Barry:** Doo-bah, baba-doo!

**Flint:** You're right, Barry!

(Barry makes noise)

We can help solve hunger by teaming up with Feeding America, to get food to hungry kids and communities across the country!

**Narrator:** Help Flint and the Feeding America Network of Foodbanks get food to the people who need it in your community. Find your local Feeding America foodbank at feedingamerica.org/hunger.

**Flint:** Together we're feeding America!

Matchsticks

**Matchsticks** is an Ad Council PSA regarding wildfires. Other partners seen in this PSA is the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.

## Summary

The PSA starts with "What can you create with 10 sticks?", with ten matchsticks above the caption. Over surreal music box-styled music, the ten sticks create various shapes: a flower, a rabbit, a spider, an ostrich, a cricket, a bird, a fish, a butterfly, a tree, a snake, a deer, a house, another tree, and then the sticks all scatter, leaving just one. A caption asks "What can you destroy with just one?" before the logos and Smokey Bear's face appears.

## Notes

* The 15 second version makes the flower, rabbit, and ostrich only.
* A Spanish version was made, obviously with the only thing being Spanish is the caption since the PSA has no voice over.
* The music was done by Howling Music.
* Sometimes when the PSA can be seen today, the picture is severely distorted and only emits stretched wavy lines, but the audio is still fine. This is likely due to the fact the PSA possibly wasn't remastered to be aired on digital 16:9 HDTV broadcasts.
