This film explores themes of sharing, mutual assistance and apology. By analyzing the actions of the characters, a parallel can be drawn between their behaviour and that of students. How should one act in various situations of conflict? This animated film can also inspire a multidisciplinary activity blending language skills with biology and the arts. It can also be a good springboard to a research project on animals.
