I am not a Mouse (All Ages)

2 min., Evgenia Golubeva, in English, NYICFF 2017

Lucy’s outgrown her nickname. Can she convince her mom to stop calling her “Mouse?”

Watch: https://vimeo.com/147333282

Talking Points:

  • Why doesn’t Lucy like her nickname? What did you see in the film that makes you think that?
  • Have you ever had a nickname that you didn't like? What did you do about it?

Get Creative: Think of a nickname for someone in your family and draw a picture of them inspired by the nickname! 

Plus! The filmmaker, Evgenia Golubeva, turned her film in to a book!
