Introduction: education does not need to be limited to a professor's speech in a classroom. There are ways to make learning easier and more effective, and one of the main of these ways is audiovisual language, through which information receives a format that is simpler to digest and remember. An important aspect of audiovisual is animation, which has an especially strong appeal with child audiences. It is possible to take advantage of this empathy that animation has with children to capture their fickle attention. Objectives: to show the value of animation as a way to simplify learning and present an animation developed by the Nucleus of Extension and Research in Dentistry (NEPO) in partnership with the Center of Software Research and Development (CPDS) in order to show the importance of daily brushing. Materials and method: for the research, analyses were performed of works available in the Jorge Amado Library, located in the Jequié campus of the State University of Southwest of Bahia, in Scielo and Google Scholar databases, and in virtual libraries of USP and Unicamp. Informatics-specific Software focused on images animation were used for the development of the animation. Results: the research led us to several documents related to the use of either animation or general audiovisual on education. Based on these studies, we created an animated film showing the importance of animation in people's everyday life. Conclusion: the research showed the importance of finding different ways of teaching.
