Children’s Films from Around the World: Me and You

What happens to inanimate objects when people aren’t around is an intriguing thought (and the reason Toy Story continues to fascinate us). The classroom, of course, has its own secret life after school. And just like everywhere else, there are clear norms and hierarchies at play.

Grand pianos and curved staircases don’t exactly go well together. But as always, it all depends on your attitude. Is it a problem when the railing hits the keys – or an opportunity? Try to stay in your seat as these life-affirming (and strong!) movers perform their duet!

Att vara den som aldrig väljs, som aldrig får vara med - eller aldrig får följa med hem. En hittehund sitter ensam i sin bur dag efter dag, och till slut är det bara skuggan som orkar fortsätta hoppas. Men även i de ledsnaste stunderna kan det vända. Snyft!

The winter world is full of magical touches, brought to life in a delightful animated tale about a girl drawn into a world of fluffy white snow. Imagine how different the world can look! And how some encounters and games are only possible when the ground is covered in snow.
