This animated film provides a fun way for students to explore the adage “one
person's trash is another's treasure” (e.g., games, musical instruments, works
of art). Teachers can introduce environmentally friendly concepts like the “3
Rs” (Reduce, Re-use, Recycle,” and then suggest an art project, e.g., creating
an imaginary world made from recovered items. The film's excellent music score
also provides a way to learn to recognize various instruments.
