Ari (Hindi)

When the teacher announces that the class will stage the Lion and the Mouse, Ari is thrilled. He knows he ll make a wonderful lion even his name means lion ! But shy little Ari is neither noticed nor chosen. He goes home disappointed, but suddenly in his room a roaring, growling, prowling creature comes to life and a small, squeaky one too! the flat illustrative style with its strong kitschy palette gets away from usual depictions of the soft, sensitive child and captures the energy and fun of play-acting.
