1Who are the two characters who come out of the sewing box?
A sheep and a nesting doll.
2And the character who cries at the beginning of the film?
It's a chick.
3Why is the chick crying?
He has a hole in his coat.
4What is the shape of the hole?
It's a square.
5Why is the child not satisfied at first?
Because we offer him a circle and a triangle and not a square.
6What does the nesting doll do to help this new character, and who is this person?
Specify that the word help at second 40 means “help” or “help me”. She is the queen of ants.
7Why is the ant crying?
She wants to put on shoes but her feet are shaped like tentacles.
8What does the nesting doll do then?
She decides to make braids with the tentacles.
9Why is the giant in the sky sad?
He would like to be able to smell flowers but has no nose.
10The next character is a triangle. What is he missing?
He has no heart.
11What does the nesting doll decide to do?
She sticks a fabric heart on him but it doesn't work; she then decides to give him her true heart.
12What happens then?
A character with a triangle-shaped head appears.
13Why does the doll faint?
She can no longer live without his heart.
14What does the triangle character decide to do?
He goes in search of a new heart and asks for help from the characters the doll had previously helped. Everyone participates: the giant gives a pinch of stars, the ant a little earth and the chick a few feathers.
15Does this recipe work?
No, because the triangle character didn't give anything. He then gives his hat and the doll comes back to life.
16What could we suggest as the moral of this film?
Open response/debate.
Created with the support of the French Ministry of Education and the CNC.
Watching the film with the family, educational activities with parents at home and with teachers in class.
