This is a specially restored version of a very old (1922) silent black and white cartoon movie. Felix wants to go swimming and asks a boy (Willie) to go with him. But Willie has to do piano practice. Things go wrong when they get some mice to play the piano instead and a goat eats their clothes while they swim!
KS2/3/4 idea: All the dialogue is shown onscreen as speech bubbles. This is an ideal opportunity to get students to make a soundtrack for this old silent film, with plenty of opportunity for easy sound effects. They could include speech (optional), sound effects and music to suit their age and ability. The whole movie lasts less than 3 minutes and with some groups it might be appropriate to divide it into shorter sections and get different groups to work on music for the different sections.
