Why it worked
The video likely worked due to its use of popular children's characters (Paw Patrol) in a relatable scenario (an empty pool) combined with a clear, albeit simple, narrative progression and a call to action that engages the viewer's imagination.
Summary
In this video, a toy character from Paw Patrol is in a situation where the pool is empty and the water is cold. Other Paw Patrol characters arrive and ask for his vehicle to help.
