This innovative format utilizes technology and storytelling to captivate children's interest and facilitate a more memorable learning experience. The animation transports youngsters on an exaggerated journey, where their regular surroundings metamorphose into fantastical landscapes. Throughout the journey, Dettol's trio of Hygiene Heroes guide children through common hygiene obstacles.
