About this deal

Variant: There was a 60 second remake released in the 2000s with some differences from the original long version, again narrated by Richard Briers. Among the differences included were: Narrator: It was only a matter of minutes before the whole forest was burning. All the good work that the insects had done was ruined. The houses were destroyed, the honey factory in cinders, and even worse, many insects were very badly burned.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Frances, a young female firefly, is upset that her wings won't glow like those of the grownups. Narrator: Because Frances was still a very young firefly, her tail wouldn't glow like those of the grown-ups and this made her feel very sad.We have 4 Cadet Branches – Belfast, Bangor, Lisburn, and Newry.

Sugar Apocalypse: Frances's accidental fire results in this, burning down the kingdom and injuring many insects.

Frances the Firefly is a UK animated short by Fire Kills. Intended to teach children about the dangers of matches, it is about a firefly named Frances who is impatient to have her wings glow, and accidentally burns down her kingdom. The short was frequently shown in schools, and can be seen here . It was later adapted into a children's book.Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Frances flying with a lit match causes a massive fire that burns down her kingdom. Narrator: Indeed, she did. In time, Frances helped the rest of her friends to rebuild their kingdom. She was also given her own job to do. Scare Factor: None, but it rises to Medium when the fire burns the kingdom, then drops to Low when the insects gather for an emergency meeting, as it reveals the fact that matches could destroy a large area or a home in a short amount of time, which can raise the scare factor. On the whole, though, the short is cute and charming, like most British children's programming of the 80s and 90s; besides which, there is no mention of anyone being killed, which can greatly lower the scare factor. The King only advised Frances to never play with matches instead of hoping Frances would realise how dangerous fire can be. Narrator: In the kingdom of the insects, all creatures have a special gift from mother nature. Some have been given the gift of flight, some the gift of super strength, and others, the gift of beauty. So the insects, being a friendly and helpful bunch, agreed long ago, that they would all work together and build a wonderful land where they could all live happily. They decided that the ants would build the houses, the busy bees would make lots of honey, and the spiders would spin silky silvery webs to decorate the land and make it look beautiful. Now, the fireflies were given a very special job to do, as you know, the insects love the night time, but because it's very dark, they find it hard to see where they're going. So the fireflies, with their glowing tail torches, would act as tiny rays of sunlight and brighten the evening sky so everyone else would see what they were doing. At the time of our story, Frances the firefly was only young and not yet able to make her tail glow brightly like the older fireflies. She would practice all the time flapping her wings and trying very, very, hard, but her tail only shone dimly, and this made her feel very sad, and all the other insects told Frances that one day she'd be able to join in with the grown-ups, but Frances didn't want to wait.
