COMMENT RATATINER- 52×11′-2D – target : 5-7 years
Shrivel up is not so easy, fears hide everywhere, in many forms and you don't get rid of your fears with a simple setback. The solutions for a successful shrinkage are not necessarily the obvious ones. With fears, obviousness and ease are not appropriate. What is fun, in the end, is to learn to know and master your fears in order to be able to play with them. This is when shrivel becomes funny, hilarious, enjoyable!
Faced with their fears, children do not know how to react.
Our series, Comment Ratatiner will allow them to meet them closely and to experiment with humor, through games, funny effective methods of shrinking. The main narrative challenge is to properly deal with the subject of fear with regard to our target. “Comment Ratatiner” is a kind of “thriller” for toddlers. We play with fear and the monsters that symbolize it. We instill the thrill without ever really being scary or going too far. Children must be tickled by monsters and want to react and shrivel them up. But they also need to have a bit of the willies so that the subject is not too abstract or devoid of meaning and sensations. Thus, the shrivel, the liberating and jubilant sequence of the episode, finds all its flavor.
The shrivelling is the moment everyone waits for. It relieves and amuses but for that it must be funny and inventive!
