Dudley Moore isn't American. -Jadenguy
[edit] Animal cruelty
"The film is controversial in some circles for what is perceived to be animal cruelty in certain scenes." Can somebody elaborate on this? -Michael
[edit] Animal Cruelty...
Milo appears to have been thrown off of a cliff at one point. This may qualify as animal cruelty. It appears to be a real cat as it rights itself in an authentic way and then shakes off when it reaches the water with no cuts. It is highly unlikely that a cameraman just happened to be at the bottom of the cliff when the cat decided to jump/fall off.
The Director Masanori Hata, is said to be a zoologist and run an animal farm. though this doesnt disprove any evidance, it is more Unlikely a Zoologist would perform any type of Animal Cruelty.
- If you look towards the end of the credits is says the "No animals were harmed in the making of this film...". And under special thanks it lists several animal organizations, so I can only assume that no animals were hurt during the making of the film. --HurricaneJeanne 05:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- I believe it actually says that the movie was filmed with the "utmost care" for the animals' safety... I don't think it actually claims animals were not hurt. Anyway, the animal cruelty seems to be a notable concern regarding this film, so we really should address it in the article. I'm not sure how to find any reputable sources on the matter, though. ~ Booya Bazooka 07:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
The article says "At one point a cat has obviously been thrown off a cliff into the ocean." Although this part is suspicious, I thought articles weren't supposed to be opinionated? Maybe it decided to jump to get away from the seagulls... The point is, we don't know that it was thrown. Unless you have proof? silverdaemonskye 04:46, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
