  1. I liked oktapodi because it was very funny and interesting especially when the man tried to hit the octopus in the car.

  2. i liked it because of the ending when the octopus flew by making a slingshot!

    There wasn’t anything i didn’t like it was a great movie

  3. I thought this film was quite a good example of friendship because the orange octopus wouldn’t just let the enemy just take their friend away and neither would the pink octopus. This film amused me because of the sudden storm of events between the human and the octopi. All the crystal clear water helps me predict that the man might fall into the ocean.

    The cliffhanger at the end was good because it made you imagine a whole other story between the gull and the octopi.

    Thank you for all the amazing clips.

  4. Valentine: I enjoyed the film because it was funny and didn’t make me want to cry.
    Tristian: I enjoyed this short film because it was exiting and fun to watch.

    Valentine: I thought the film would be about octopi and the sea but it was actually about two octopi on an adventure.
    Tristian: I thought it would be about two octopi who played tricks on a fisherman.

    Valentine: I thought they would play tricks on him so he reacted like that.
    Tristian: I thought the octopi beat the man up.

    Valentine: Not really, it only made me predict they were in Greece
    Tristian: Not at all it only changed my idea of the story.

    Valentine: I think the octopus makes the seagull le orange go
    Tristian: I think the pink octopus gets grabbed and the orange one gets away.

  5. it was funny when the man saw the octopus because of his face

    We thought that the octopus would get cut in to little circles with a hollow inside
    the octopus was upset that his friend was taken away to be killed

  6. I think this film is very entertaining and funny. It is a great story about 2 octapus trying to save eachother from difficult circumstances. This short film is absolutely amazing, it is very different from all the other films we have watched (Migrants ,Umbrella and The Black Hole) This film is extremely entertaining! -Poppy

    Judging by the setting I thought that the film was set in the ocean because of the backround whilst they were hugging at the beginning of the film. After the hugging the yellow hand scared us because it came out so suddenly and grabbed them out of the water.-Hakikat

  7. This was not what I had expected because most future zone films are sad and point out problems about the world but this one seemed only for entertainment. Before we watched the film our teacher made our class predict what the film was going to be about. I predicted that the film was going to be about a man delivering items in a delivery truck and he got involved in a car crash. When I watched the film, I discovered that this was about octopuses that were going to be cooked as part of a meal.

  8. The scenes in this film were very amusing and not at all what I had expected . I much loved the point near the end where the man fell into the ocean as if it were telling a lesson . ‘ Whatever you put out into the world will always come back at you ‘ { karma. }
    I could tell that the octopi were very cheeky from the beginning because of how the orange one escaped from the water tank without turning back or thinking about the consequences .

    The setting helped me picture some of the scenes in the film, for example when I saw the scene of all the houses and swimming pools I could imagine the octopi swimming around in them . What really made me think was in the first clip you see of the octopi in the water hugging each other . I believed that they were in the ocean but later found out they were in a tank . I could have probably guessed this also from the seen where they finally see the ocean and a look of shock was on their faces .

    Thank you for reading my work : ]

  9. I really enjoyed this short film because it was slightly different to what I was expecting. It was very funny, and left me on the edge of my seat. Based on the characters I initially thought it was about two octopus that were becoming friends, and I was quite surprised when I watched the film.

    The film was really intriguing because the man was very determined to catch the octopus and take them somewhere else and away from home.

  10. I thought that the film was about a man in a train and has spotted an ancient vase that he had been learning about. He works as an archeologist in France and wants to buy it for a huge amount of money. (he doesn’t look professional )

    As I watched it I found out that I was wrong. I thought this film was amusing and i never expected. based on the characters expressions I thought it was a nice day and calm.

  11. I think that this clip was very intriguing because of the exciting events and the tense cliffhanger. In my opinion it was a curious, amusing adventure for the octopuses that sincerely loved and helped each over. I enjoyed this clip especially because it made me want to watch more.

    I thought that the two octopuses were inseparable , they even risked their lives for each over.

  12. I loved this film it was a surprise and unexpecting, I didn’t expect octopuses to appear. It was a terrific film and I would rate it 10/10.
    The settings sometimes helped me figure out what was going to happen next. I sometimes got the right prediction but not all the time.
    When it ended on a cliff hanger i under stood that not all of the clips had cliff hangers and this on e was different.

  13. this film was not what I expected there was a lot of plot twisters and I didn’t expect the man to fall into the water. I think that the man was angry because he was taking the octopus to his restaurant to give to his customers.

  14. I enjoyed Oktapodi as there where various of emotions throughout the film and It was exciting. An example of an emotion is when they were worried when the pink octopus got captured and the orange octopus was worried about the pink octopus getting killed, and there was a confused emotion when the driver saw the orange octopus and got scared.I found it funny when the drive landed In the water and the seagulls flew away.I also found It funny when the octopuses where bouncing on
    the pools

  15. R: I enjoyed this film because I liked the animation style and feeling also because it felt engaging

    Y: I enjoyed the film because it said never give up as the orange octopus never gave up. I also liked it because it left me curious as the seagull picked up the orange one and the pink one came chasing up to it.

    R:i thought that in the film it would be about the octopuses and the man going on
    journey to find the octopuses parents based on the characters.

    Y: I thought that since the name was oktopodi it sounded a bit robotic so i thought it was about a man creating a robot octopuses and they tried escaping.

  16. We thought this film was different than the other clips we had seen because it was showing a film about love, whereas the others were quite sad clips. We enjoyed watching this because it showed that you should not give up, especially as the octopuses were always trying to help each other.
    When we first saw the male character, we thought the film was not going to be very positive because the man’s expression was quite angry. However, when we saw the other two characters we thought he was angry at the octopuses.
    We though the film ended with the car crashing out of the wall, this was unexpected and we didn’t think this would happen. We thought the octopus would swim in the ocean but they were captured by a seagull. This was a cliffhanger and left us wanting to know more.

  17. The reason why I enjoyed this film is because it was really funny and it was entertaining. |I thought this film was good because it was set in a nice area with a sea. I thought what would happen is the man is near the beach and the octopuses would come up to him and try strangle him. I thought was going to be in Scotland I was quite surprised . I was a bit disappointed that there was a cliffhanger i hope there’s a oktapodi part 2

  18. We enjoyed watching this film because it was set in Europe and showed us how friendship worked.
    When we had originally watched the film we thought it was going to be about a man, who was rather strong and would be able to hurt people but we discovered that it was about friends who had been separated. They were both determined to get back to one another.
    When we saw the man getting angry, we didn’t think that this would lead to the man falling off the cliff. We thought that was the ending but it continued.
    The three characters were a Man a orange Octopus and a pink Octopus.
    Oktapodi ended with a cliff hanger.

  19. I thought that the film was very entertaining and not what I thought it was going to be, the name kind of gave it away oktapodi how octa means eight so I thought it might have something to do with octopuses but a bit hard to figure out because octa was spelt differently. But after I watched it I was thinking ”Ohh that’s why its called oktapodi because there’s octopuses in it!” because it was such a smart name it came to me after watching it that the name fits with the story perfectly enough that it didn’t tell you the story but it gave you a hint. Every one in my class was trying to find out wats the hint but it was very smart

  20. I thought this film was exciting, fun and very funny because the pink and orange octopus were in love and did anything to be together eg. when the orange octopus got carried away by the bird the pink octopus still chased after it.
    Oktapodi was a film that was full of action and entertainment which kept me on the edge of my seat. I also think it was set in Greece because of the white houses and it was very very sunny.

    When I wrote part two some of my scenarios were the pink octopus saved the orange one and they fell in the sea. Then they got surrounded by a shiver of sharks but a sword fish saved them. When they escaped they found a net full of other octopuses and saved them. Finally I ended on a cliff hanger by them swimming into a space that has loads of speed boats and one zooms towards the pink octopus!!!!

  21. The thing I really enjoiyed about this film was that it was very funny and the man pulled loads of funny faces. At the start I thought the octopuses were in the water and a boat with a man on it had grabbed the pink octopuse. The film was very entertaining for our class. I thought the man was in a car having mixed emotions will going all over the road.

    The setting did help me predict what was gonna happen in the film because I saw all the swimming pools and they gave me an idear .My story was that the octopuses fell into the mans swimming pool and then his wife who loves octopuses took them back to the water. But when she got there she saw her husband in the water she ran into the water to save him but there was a shark and then there was a giant whale. The whale swallowed them up and the cliffhanger was them all in the whales belly about to have a fight.

  22. Z: I thought this short film was really funny.

    G: I enjoyed this film because it really showed you how mean people can be and how brave can be for there love ones.

    G: I thought this was really fun to watch.

    Z: The films setting helped me a bit to understand what the film was about.

  23. I think it was a funny film because when the man hit the octopuses on the car. I enjoyed this film because it had a lot of funny animations and had a perfect cliff hanger at the end . I thought it was about octopuses having a fun adventure. The adventure was about the octopuses being a tourist attraction and they decide to escape their prison .I thought hat the octopuses got out of the sea and a acting like a real human like dancing swimming in the sea and eating ice cream and siting on a chair. The setting helped me a lot .

  24. I really liked the video! It was very funny. My favorite part was when the octopus used the wire as a sling shot !

  25. I really liked Octapodi, because it’s a really cute movie on how you should care for your friends and always put them first. I also would like to see a part 2 of this movie, since it was left on a cliff hanger!
