Public Information films?

I wonder how a new series of these would look?
I've just been watching a DVD of classic public information shorts from the 60s onwards. A lot of them had me smiling at forgotten gems – Charley Says.., Rolf Harris teaching us about 'Kids and Water..', Augustus Windsock on how to turn right safely on a bicycle – and i'm sure they had a huge influence on how I behave now 
Some of them are rather scary too, Protect & Survive for instance 
Would today's kids/youngsters/little monsters (delete as appropriate) react in the same way to these films, or how would they have to be remade to have an impact on yoof?
