Abstract L'enfant et les sortilèges: a young boy who doesn't want to study has a tantrum and wrecks his room. Animated by his naughtiness, objects come to life and begin to sing and dance, drawing the boy into their enchanted world.
Abstract L'heure espagnole: every Thursday at the same time, the clockmaker Torquemada has an appointment to wind and regulate the town clocks. So he leaves his wife alone in the house for an hour.
