CinéClubturel - Merlin the Enchanter

Description

Season 2026-2027: «Humans vs AI». Join us with your children for these sessions designed to introduce them, through accessible stories, to what distinguishes humans from their creations: emotions, consciousness, the ability to make choices. Using film excerpts, children will learn to view images differently, developing their critical thinking through drawing and group discussion; no prior viewing is necessary, parents are welcome, and a fruit break is planned. «Merlin the Enchanter» by Wolfgang Reitherman, 1963 (1h19) «Fantasia»*, 1940 (30-minute excerpt) Through this classic animated film, children will discover the journey of a young boy guided by a somewhat whimsical mentor, who accompanies him in his learning about the world and himself. Between transformations, experiments, and unexpected situations, the story explores in an accessible way the transmission of knowledge, the construction of critical thinking, and how we learn to make choices — themes that resonate today with our relationship to the tools and forms of intelligence around us. * by J.
