From the swimming pool scene to that of the surprising concert around the campfire, passing by some very curious Olympics, the film "Our happy days" has become cult for generations of children who have gone to summer camps (and not only) .

Unfortunately for them and them, the directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano explain at the microphone of Anne Roumanoff, on Europe 1, why the film will not have a sequel.

INTERVIEW

Five years before 

Intouchables

 and its 19.4 million admissions, the director duo Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano signed another cult film in 2006: 

Our Happy Days

.

Generations of children who have gone to summer camp find themselves in this comedy with Omar Sy and Marilou Berry.

And many of them are still hoping, 15 years after the film's release, for a sequel to 

Our Happy Days. 

But the directors, invited Wednesday of 

It feels good

, are categorical: the film will not have a sequel.

And they explain why they made this decision, despite a track that was considered for a while.

For Olivier Nakache, the success of the film is due to its proximity to the reality experienced by children who have gone to summer camp.

"It's almost ethnology, it's always the same types of animators and children that we find in summer camps", explains the director.

"So it's true that we still had plenty to do 

Our happy days are skiing

, etc."

Still, the many potential sequels will not happen.

An abandoned sequel ... and a documentary

"With this film, we said what we had to say on the subject," says Eric Toledano.

The two directors were inspired by their own experience as an animator.

"There had been a follow-up project at one point. But it was chaos and we did not talk about it", explains Eric Toledano, however.

This film was to tell the stories not for children, but for adults.

"In the end, we thought we had done the tour with

Our Happy Days

 and we were going to stop there."

"On the other hand, we made a documentary called

Our happy days, seven years later

", reveals Eric Toledano.

"It tells about everything that happened to all of the child actors in the movie. You can find out what really happened in their lives."

This 40-minute documentary, which went more unnoticed than the film, is notably featured in the bonuses of the DVD set "Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano", released in 2014. This set compiled the films
