''Moonlighters'' is an animated fire safety short by Fire Kills. It is very similar to ''WesternAnimation/FrancesTheFirefly'', but has an outer space setting, and warns about the dangers of cigarette lighters instead of matches.

----
!! ''Moonlighters'' contains examples of the following tropes:


* AmbiguousSituation: The computer identifies the lighter as something humans made "a long time ago." The apparent lack of familiarity with humans suggests that they may be extinct by the time the story takes place.
* AnAesop: "Never play with lighters," as stated by Hoblock at the end.
* TheAtoner: Hoblock works to repair the computer, which we're told will take a very long time, and each day gives his little sister a dire warning about the danger of playing with lighters.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Hoblock's desire to see if lighters really are dangerous causes a massive fire that burns down the Moon city.
* MoodWhiplash: The computer sounds rather goofy when trying to analyze the object, but becomes very serious when it realizes it's a lighter, and gives a stern warning about how dangerous they are.
* MyGreatestFailure: How Hoblock sees his actions by the end of the story, as he warns his sister every day not to make the same mistake he did.
* RiddleForTheAges: How did the lighter get on the moon in the first place?
* ThrowTheDogABone: Hoblock's sister forgives him for starting the fire, and visits him every day while he works on the computer.
* ViewersAreGoldfish: The film repeatedly flashes the words, "This is a public information film" throughout the runtime.
