Guardians
continued from page 2
secret world alongside our world, and
we’ve never known the whole truth about it.
What you see in the movie and the books is
the real truth about what these guys are.
And it’s pretty cool, more like a Lord of the
Rings kind of epic, fantasy world they all
operate in as opposed to the cute, fluffy
image you get from greeting cards. That
was the central idea of the books. We
thought that was pretty interesting and a
really fresh way to get people to take anoth-
er look at these characters.
KW: Harriet Pakula-Teweles asks: Where
I’m very happy with
the work and the spirit
my crew brought to
the movie
were some “Guardians” when the hunters
shot Bambi’s mother? I can still hear the
shot ring out all those many years ago. How
much
trauma-less
support
can
animation/fable offer young children with-
out some need of a degree of reality check?
PR: Wow! I’m not sure what to do with
that question. I can’t answer for Bambi. We
have a mom in our movie. Some form of
reality check? Yeah, I don’t know what to
do with that one.
KW: Film student Jamaal Green asks:
What is your favorite film, and is there a
filmmaker whose work inspired you to
make the move to becoming a director?
PR: Omigosh, I literally have too many
favorite movies to name them all. But I can
throw a few out there: Kurosawa… Coppo-
la… David Lean… I’m a huge fan of Ang
Lee. And there are tons of French films I
love. Like I said, way too many to mention.
KW: The Tasha Smith question: Are you
ever afraid?
PR: Of course! Are you kidding? [LOL]
But you have to realize that fear is some-
thing that lives in your mind, just like all the
positive things that reside there. The key is
to try to find a balance or a way for the pos-
itive to at least cancel out what the fear is
telling you.
