Flex your emotional muscles these school holidays with three thoughtful films that bring emotionally rich characters to life with monster magic and puppet power.
We're all intelligent in different ways. Some of us are great with numbers, some with words – and some of us shine when it comes to emotional intelligence. The good news is that emotional intelligence is something we can build over time, and watching films is a fun way to practise.
Sometimes we might think emotions only belong to humans, but these holidays we'll be exploring what imaginary creatures from other worlds might be feeling. An alien, a monster and a talking cat are all brought to life through puppetry (and puppet-adjacent) artistry – their feelings, too. So, join us in the cinema as we take a close look at these characters and uncover the little clues that help us understand their emotional experience.
We have a fun school holidays ahead of us filled with emotional journeys, big adventures and time to practise our emotional intelligence skills.
