  3. I watched this film with Max, it was very moving. I really liked the film’s message about overcoming your fears and facing your worries (it’s like coming out of your shell.)

  4. We picked this film to show you all because we loved the imagery and use of metaphor. What do you think the hermit crab coming out of his shell is symbolic of?
    What is the other meaning of ‘coming out of your shell’?
