One of my favorite moments, in terms of when she first gives him the tiger and she says “happy” and then she hands it to him. I love how it’s this almost accidental thing that they buy bear at Harrods or wherever it was, and suddenly it becomes this iconic thing.
SIMON CURTIS FEMALE VOCALS WHO WAS MOVIE
Was there anything about the stuffed animals which you wanted to include in the movie but were unable to? She had the voices, and he came up with Eeyore’s name. So, the boy is a victim of World War I even though he wasn’t born until it ended.īen Kenber: When it comes to introducing the stuffed animals, I loved how Margot Robbie and Domhnall Gleeson introduced them.
