Les Choristes is based on another film La Cage aux rossignols(A Cage of Nightengales, 1945) and uses the same plot and names of characters. The original film was inspired by that of an actual educational centre, called Ker Goat, where Jacques Dietz, Roger and their team worked to help children in difficulty through choral singing and innovative teaching methods. .All rights belong to their respective owners. This is more of a small arrangement of a couple songs from the score.
