Anyone who’s ever taken a look at the short show Quick not quick, who invited young people from elementary schools to make crazy dreams come true and watch them in slow motion, knows that the animator duo formed by Frédéric Choinière and Jean-Sébastien Busque can do great things in youth TV, thanks in particular to its capacity to transmit its sweet madness to the participants and to the televiewers. So here they are again at the helm of Happy patenteux, a scientific magazine that does not take itself seriously at all, to the delight of young and old alike.
Our two fellows – flanked by their model Bob (already present in Quick not quick), who here acts as “responsible parent” supposed to accompany the children who will reproduce the experiments – propose to carry out more or less dangerous challenges (aluminum sculpture, competition of “giant” gliders, sending a weather balloon in the air. ‘space) which require certain scientific knowledge and material to match (sometimes even quite dangerous!).
This less accessible and more spectacular portion of the program serves as a locomotive for the more down-to-earth segments, which also appeal to science, where facilitators can give cooking or gardening tips (how to grow potatoes at home. house, for example). In addition, scenes in which elementary school children have to identify more or less old objects and tools add a supplement of comic soul and a touch of charm to this very nice production. Morning candy.
