Children’s Films from Around the World: What a Big World

Just when building snowmen is at its most fun, Mum knocks on the window. It’s time to do homework – how boring! But it turns out that practising the clarinet has some unexpected effects, and even indoors, the afternoon becomes creative and unforgettable!

Life is full of experiences that make us want to try something new – perhaps a new shape? Or a new colour? Told off by the grown-ups, O, a curious child, tries to find their own way forward. It’s tough when you don’t get to decide for yourself. A highly relatable story for young children – and their grown-ups.

It’s a very, very big day! The kind of day Nina has been waiting for a long time. It’s her first day of school. She carefully completes all her preparations, and even the journey to school is an adventure in itself. But then perhaps it all becomes a little too new and unfamiliar. That’s when she needs to find something familiar to break the ice and make new friends.

Three little troublemakers sneak through the forest disguised as bushes. They spot their friends making a giant pancake and want nothing more than to get their hands on it. After several attempts, they realise they probably didn’t need to resort to sneaky tricks just to get a taste.

A celebration of the great adventure that is making your way home from preschool on a rainy autumn day. The smallest things can spark a sense of wonder, and a stick in a pile of leaves can make the world feel magical! Grown-ups don’t quite understand, and dogs quickly become rivals, but there are simply too many possibilities to resist!

Kanske är fågeln den ultimata symbolen för frihet - och fångenskap. Kontrasten mellan en bur och den fria världen är påtaglig, och människan har alltid drömt om och strävat efter att flyga. Vackra fjäderdräkter och rörelser kombineras med musik i ett färgsprakande äventyr.

It’s time for that very first time. The first flight. Three little birds find themselves lifted by the wind from an unexpected direction – and using different techniques, they manage to take off from the branch.

If you have a soapbox car, of course you want to ride in it. And if you want to go fast, you need a proper downhill slope. A perfectly reasonable fantasy and a thrilling adventure for kids Noah’s age. As an adult, though, there’s a chance you’ll choke on your popcorn. Afterwards, you can have a chat about road safety!

Musik och rörelse kan ta fram de mest fantastiska känslor inom oss. Larven blir superimponerad och vill så gärna dansa tillsammans med de graciösa små insekterna. Men alla kroppar är inte lika, och därför får inte larven vara med. Drömmar kan ibland slå in på sätt man inte kunde ana!
