Bridge

This short animation presents a simple yet powerful idea – a narrow bridge that cannot accommodate animals passing in opposite directions at the same time.

The bear and the elk are too stubborn and selfish to cooperate, and as a result, both end up falling into the abyss. In contrast, the rabbit and the raccoon work together and pass safely, continuing on their way.

Ask the children what this film teaches us. What lesson can be learnt from the characters’ actions? They could come up with a moral and a catchy slogan to summarise the message.
