Noah's theme worked well at cinemas because the story is an epic one with big nature scenes and historic roots. A little like Moses on his mountain, Noah takes us back to the lone hero who changes the world. It is a genre well before the village genre and not so popular at the moment with all the new Sci Fi films taking over but it still works because of its big screen cinematic value; seeing nature on the big screen is still very enjoyable.
This story was adapted for very young children in the animation Two by Two, where the animals or fauna take the lead.
Animal stories always do well with children of all ages because they are spontaneous, basic beings with simple needs and infinite possibilities.
They communicate differently so we are able to imagine them in a very wide variety of interactions and situations and this is exactly what Two by Two does.It stimulates the children's imagination.
It depicts the animals in a fun environment on Noah's arc which is likened to a hotel/cruise ship and makes the story less frightening or final.
The story line is simple: animals escaping from the flood with the added bonus of comic lines and slapstick comic scenes.
The fable is told for and from the point of view of special or unusual animals who seemingly don't fit in with the others but who end up being more special than anyone else.
This here is the main educational value for children: seeing that being different or original is actually very good and to be encouraged and happily discovered and of course that team work is important.
My gorgeous niece and nephew enjoyed it because of the animal characters who were fun and courageous/heroic and I enjoyed the visual both of looking at their innocent awed faces and at the colourful animated scenery on the screen.
Relaxing and Fun! Watch out for the Lion (and his hair), my personal favourite!
