This short teaches the power of emotional intelligence and friendship

“Monsterbox” is a delight for the senses that will captivate your heart. The colors are hypnotic, the music delicious, and the characters are a tribute to imagination, emotions and friendship. Therefore, we recommend that if you have a child nearby, you watch it with them.

We are sure that you have already seen more than one short film that pays tribute to Emotional Intelligence. Now, we assure you that “Monsterbox” goes much further and creates for us a tribute to friendship, to those connections that are created with magic, with patience, with surprise… related to emotional intelligence.

Friendship would not be possible without adequate Emotional Intelligence. It is she who gives spark to those emotions that know how to interpret gestures, that feed noble affections, that sharpen that sincere interest in someone who, although apparently different from you, pumps with the same heart.

Sometimes, there are many who are proud to know what this thing called friendship is. However, they do not always manage to maintain an authentic, positive relationship for a long time. The bond breaks, expires and fades without them knowing very well why.

Actually, There are those who focus their entire existence from their own perspectivefrom his own perspective something selfish. There where nothing fits with your “personal puzzle”.

Mosnterbox invites us to make a forceful reflection on this aspect. You will see strange creatures appear that do not seem to “fit” together. And yet they do it. The protagonists, a girl and an old man, don’t seem to have much in common either, but…

A very similar “monster box”…

And you… how many friends do you have? What color are they, do they have horns, hooves, can they fly? Are they older or younger than you? If we ask this to a child, it is very possible that he will start laughing, however, from his innocence, he will immediately tell you that he would not mind having friendship with a being with these characteristics.

People tend to focus their interests on finding people with characteristics similar to us. But sometimes, similarity does not always enrich, what unites two people are their values, not their age, skin color or tastes.

The value of knowing how to listen, attend, respect, share… There are many, many values that can unite us with another person to form the best friendship., the most comprehensive and enriching. Realities in turn, that we should know how to transmit to our children, always based on emotional intelligence.

Friendship needs an internal look that knows how to understand

Sometimes, it is not enough for us to have eyes to realize things.. What’s more, there are many who, even wearing glasses, do not perceive the discomfort of others or the harmful power of some words.

It is through emotional intelligence that we develop that guided gaze. from our emotional brain outwards, to understand and interpret the world.This perception that is born from emotions, we can develop it from childhood.. There where curiosity will guide the child in the discovery of empathy, respect, that serene look that he sees and understands.The inner look of friendship knows patience, and above all, understand that just because someone is different does not mean that they are a threat or that they will not harmonize in our affections, in our affection.

Promote emotionally intelligent environments

If there is something that catches our attention about Mosterbox, it is its color, its visual appeal and those wonderful choral characters so different from each other not only by age, but also by size, shape. In some way, this short film promotes these Aspects that we must take into account:

We are facing an emotionally intelligent environment. Every situation promotes learning and, in turn, information. Every gesture invites us to attend, to understand one’s needs and the tastes of others. There are big ones and small ones, there are those who look for something and find something else much better.It is a clear example of that interaction between generations and even between races where everyone learns by interacting with each other. There are those that appear on the scene with great resoundingness, almost scaring us, but instantly, they surprise us with something touching.
