Because I once became so distraught watching the film 'Watership Down,' my parents were happier to let me watch action adventures featuring humans and warriors rather than cute animals.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had kids come to me and say, 'Oh, I loved your movie when I was a kid, and I became a marine biologist.' It's crazy.
I grew up in a family of filmmakers, so I always wanted to make films about animals, especially comical films. Something about animals amuses me. And they have a great mystery. It's the same mystique some people might feel looking at the stars or the ocean.
I've always had a fascination for animals. I loved watching them, and even then I thought of them as beings rather than pets. I call it a birth affect!
When I was younger, my family would go camping and fishing on our ranches. My dad loves being around all kinds of animals. He's the one who got me to be a really big animal lover.
I always was passionate about science fiction and horror, and my parents enjoyed that as well.
I stopped making films to look after animals.
I loved movies ever since I was a kid.
Growing up, I just loved movies. It was how I saw the world, which I wanted to learn more about.
I loved movies, growing up. They brought me so much joy.
Ever since 'Lassie' and 'Old Yeller', I won't watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.
