Not So Fast: popular myths and misconceptions, checked
Not So Fast is our series of short animated videos about things everybody thinks they know. Each episode starts from a claim people repeat, such as that bats are blind, that bulls charge at red or that the Great Wall can be seen from the Moon, and checks it against a source.
The animal hosts Gaston, Pip and the Wolf do the arguing, and the video gives the answer. The source behind every answer is linked under the video, so you can read it yourself.
The episodes are short enough to share, and free to watch without an account.
