Ok, it has A LOT more than just Alf. Alvin and the Chipmunks, Winnie the Pooh, the Smurfs, everyone you could imagine.

While I don't do drugs, just cause I don't see the real benefit/attraction right now and don't have money

lol. Yet, I find this completely fail.

Wow, I remember that too.

it's 27 minutes long. There's no way I'm watching all of that.

I remember coming home from a soccer game to watch this.

Here is a condensed review from the Nostalgia Critic.

It's D.A.R.E. era propaganda.

I had this on vhs when I was a kid, actually thought it was kinda cool ith all the different characters and the kinda dark vibe of the whole thing. Pretty eerie, for me as a kid at least.

Apparently didn't work very well though...

Dare instructor to a class of 13 year olds:
Marijuana is the most addictive drug known to man and is a gateway to many others...

My thoughts at 13:
Wait, that's not what the rest of the world says, maybe I should experiment with some of these things for myself.
Whoa that one does what? Oh I definitely got to try some of that.

Good job DARE program!
If it weren't for you I wouldn't had known about the drugs I wanted to try at such an early age and also probably wouldn't have questioned authority as much.

what does D.A.R.E. stand for?

i thought the comments from the film "layer cake" to be relevant: all drugs will be legal some day because the money to be made isnt in the millions, its in the ****ing billions. moral legislation may endure for a bit longer.

Drugs Are Really Excellent, that's honestly all I can think of.

I remember watching this video when I was seven years old. I seriously thought that there was no such thing as marijuana and it was just a made up substance that was used in the film. Because let's face it - when you're told that smoking is bad, you get it into your head that burning a leaf and breathing in it's smoke is a bad idea and logically nobody would do it because it's stupid. Of course, I still find it at least a little silly to burn leaves and breathe in the smoke, but my opinion on the matter has become much more educated.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education. It was a program that started (or at least became well known) in the '80s. Nancy Reagan was a major champion.

My experience was similar, if not quite identical. In 6th grade we got a big presentation on the dangers of drugs. They told us that if we took drugs we would go crazy, we would jump out of windows thinking we could fly, we would cut off our own limbs and eat them, etc. So naturally, we asked out teacher, "why do people take drugs if they are so bad?" The dismissive reply: "Well I guess some people are just stupid and want to kill themselves". That answer made no sense to me, even as a sixth grader. Then a year or two later I saw some kids smoking weed, and they weren't going violently crazy. They were laughing and having a good time. Hmm, maybe I should try it and find out what the deal is ...

I think anti-drug education is a good idea, but I think it would be a lot more effective if it told kids the truth. And the first, undeniable truth about drugs is that it feels good to get high. The long term consequences of that good feeling may not be worth it, and that's where honest education would be helpful.

Seems pretty ironic to make an anti drug movie where stuffed animals and cartoon characters are able to communicate with the kids. If Winnie the Pooh started talking to me, I would wonder how I got dosed.

Exactly my thought. And the fact that they're are Muppet Babies rather than normal Muppets seems just more weird lol.
