Cot Cot

2007 6 min
Leaving soon

How unbelievably boring is the life of a solitary cowboy living in the middle of a vast prairie, surrounded by stupid chickens clucking and a shapeless bovine! Not surprising then if his temper turns fowl. Based on a strip cartoon by the Swiss writer Ibn Al Rabin, Cot Cot is a hilarious parody of the western, featuring a cowboy at the end of his tether and a cow that's much smarter than she looks. Technique: 2-D computer animation.

This film is a great springboard for a writing and listening exercise. After watching the film and noting the different characteristics of the cowboy, ask students to write about 300 words, providing an ending to the adventure story. You can evaluate both their writing and active listening skills. You can also use this opportunity to teach onomatopoeias.
