Before you watch each trailer, make a mind map of what you already know about the previous film or films. Write down some information about the original film or fims:

• the names of the main characters
• where the film was set
• what the main events of the story were
• Present tense

After you have watched each trailer, add the new information that you've learnt to your mind maps.

• are there any new characters? (e.g. who is the character with powers to move leaves in Frozen II?)
• are there any new settings? (e.g. where do the toys go to when they venture out of Bonnie's house?)
• how has the story been developed? (e.g. why is the new Shaun the Sheep movie called 'Farmageddon'?!)
• how have the themes changed: what is the same and what is different? (e.g. the characters are the same in Secret Life of Pets 2, but there's a new baby in the family that is making Max anxious)

Create a character

Choose one of the sequels and use your imagination to create a new character. Draw and label your character to show how he or she will develop the story and themes of the original film story.

For example:

• Could Anna and Elsa have a secret brother that they've never met?
• Could the Monopoly pieces come alive and become Woody's enemies?
• Could Duke's owners hire a dog trainer to address his bad habits?
• Could Shaun meet a wayward teenage sheep who breaks into the farmhouse and throws a wild party?
