The auditorium was sold out, yesterday. Lots of kids watching a new animated Swedish film about Bamse, a much-loved bear in Swedish children's books. I love that kind of audience. They are honest and when they watch something they don't look for hidden messages or merit, they just enjoy the show.
Since it's the (pre-) film festival, there was a Q&A with the director and producer afterwards. The kids asked questions and the director and producer answered as best as they could.
My all time favourite question was "why did you do the film as a cartoon and not with live characters?"
Was that from a kid?
Either way, great question!
I had to google Bamse. I am not so UP on Swedish children's tales. Sorry.
BUT, great question for which there is NO answer.
