In 1996, in conjunction with a musical policy trailer, a series of public service announcements starring the Muppets of Sesame Street were made to be shown at Sony Theaters.
Running under 30 seconds, each spot places the characters by a large timer, as an unseen voice (Don Pardo) gives them a mere 15 seconds to say something that will change the world. These shorts are known to have aired on PBS as well.
