Movies for Primary Schools
3-2-1 Liftoff! (DIGITAL MOVIE)
Most full dome shows are about the universe. Our story is about how hard it is to get there.
Elon is a hamster scientist who lives on a dump yard. He tries to fit in the local rats' community but nobody takes him seriously. The rats aren't interested in his scientific experiments which often fail in practice.
One day, Elon hears a crash. On his garden he finds a crater and a damaged robot inside. How did he get here? Elon fixes the robot and finds out that he fell from a space ship which is going to prepare Mars for colonization. But the ship leaves in three
days.
And that's how Elon's great adventure starts. Will he manage to get the robot back to his ship before it leaves with all the robot's friends? 3-2-1 Liftoff! is and adventurous animated film about courage and wits you need to have to get in space and back.
