Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Elves live in harmony with the world, and I try to do that.
Elves are cool, man.
More often than not, however, the person who flatly states 'Elves aren't like that!' is hard pressed to describe how they really look.... as if Tolkien has summoned archetypes from so deep in our minds that we can only recall them incompletely.
Elves have this superhuman strength, yet they're so graceful. Tolkien created them to be angelic spirits, but I also saw Legolas as something out of the Seven Samurai.
A world in which elves exist and magic works offers greater opportunities to digress and explore.
I think what is nice about 'Elf,' and why it doesn't play as one long sketch, is that the character actually grows up during the course of the film. It's not just a character that you can keep checking in on and keep doing sketches about. It's a story. I'm pretty proud of how we told it.
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes.
I have a pretty positive view of environmental activism, but I didn't know much about the ELF. A lot of people make documentaries because they have something they want to say, but I make them because there's something I want to explore.
I was surprised to see how much the mainstream environmental movement hates the ELF.
I really dislike elves.
