Hence, the present study is to assess the effectiveness of the 2 D animated films, on the nutritional and health attitudes of rural women.

It was a quasi experimental pre test – post test research design. A total sample of 130 rural women, belonging to the reproductive age group, 15 – 49 years were selected from three villages, one of which served as an experimental group (n=100) and the other acted as the control group (n=30). A standardized questionnaire developed for the study was used to assess attitude at pre and post-intervention. There was an increase in the mean attitude score from 52.87 to 70.64, after the intervention. The gain in attitude score was 17.8, for the experimental group which was highly significant (P<0.01)
