Help us! The movie The Wild Robot is coming soon to theaters, but something important is missing: the perfect movie poster. Can you design it for us?

The filmmakers have already created a great poster, but we think you can come up with something even better! We’ll provide plenty of craft supplies, so all you need to bring is your imagination. Can you create a poster that truly brings the movie to life and makes everyone want to see it? After the workshop, we’ll display your poster throughout the building, where it will hang for the entire week.

Workshop: Set the Scene (ages 6 to 12)

More info

Do you think a movie feels happy or scary? It doesn't just depend on how the characters behave, but also on the world they live in! During the "Set the Scene" workshop, you’ll create a forest where you decide what kind of world our little friends will inhabit.

If you were making a movie about a forest, what would it look like? Is it a spooky forest? Or maybe a cheerful one? Or a magical one? In this workshop, you’ll design a mini film set that can be as happy, magical, or scary as you like. You’ll learn how to use colors and objects to create a mood and bring a story to life. At the end, you’ll take your own forest home, where your characters can have their adventures!

Practical Information

  • Duration: 120 minutes
  • €6 per participant
  • Location: Foyer
  • Parents and guardians are welcome to stay and watch, or enjoy a drink at our Grand Café during the workshop.

Vos en Haas Redden Het Bos (4+)

After the huge success of Knor, Mascha Halberstad is back with a new family film about a forest threatened by a big lake. And then Owl turns out to have disappeared too. Fox and Hare spring into action to save the forest.

Please note that this film is in Dutch, without subtitles.

In a large forest clearing, Beaver, a short furry animal with a big ego, inaugurates his masterpiece: a giant dam. With the help of two Rats, he blocks the flow of a river. The water level rises and in no time at all, a giant lake is formed. Beaver is very proud of himself but, to his disappointment, there is no one to admire his feat. Elsewhere in the forest, Fox and Hare have been throwing a party with their friends. After the party, Owl returns home and discovers strange streams of water flowing past his tree. He panics and flees into the forest. The following day, Fox and Hare discover that Owl is missing. They set out with their friends to find him, but instead discover the mysterious lake. Where has all the water come from? While they continue to search for Owl, the water continues to rise, threatening a flood. Their quest to save the forest will test their friendship to the limit.

From birth, young little deer Bambi has been incredibly close to his mother. As he marvels at the world around him, his mother teaches him the most important things for survival in the forest. As time passes, Bambi befriends more and more animals in the forest and also meets Feline, his future girlfriend. But with the arrival of autumn, everything changes. Bambi becomes an orphan when hunters shoot his mother. At that moment, however, Bambi discovers he is not alone, as his father – the Great Prince – watches over him. From his father, he learns to deal with the great dangers of life in the wilderness and more importantly, Bambi grows up.
