The Camera Does Not Like Acting. The Camera Is Only Interested In Filming Behaviour. So You Damn Well Learn Your Lines Until You Know Them Inside Out, While Standing On Your Head!

If One Is Going To Offer Children Stories That Underneath The Story Must Be Something That Will Inform, Stimulate And Guide, I Love To Be On Board.

It's Tragic That Children Are Encouraged To Ignore History. We Ignore History And Any Literature That Is Historically Based In History. Even Though Both Of Those Films Involved Animals, Of Course They Reflect Human Behavior.
