Now now. Dont leave the whole thing out 1) They who kill the ferret are the Badguys. Obviously this is the wrong thing. They also kill an alligator (coc?) later in the movie for another divination 2) At the end, the Ferrets get their revenge, quite well. I wont spoil it for any who haven't seen it, but the ferrets are quite instrumental in helping save the day. 3) The ferrets in Stardust were mostly Computer animated, but other movies use live trained ferrets that the directors/stars have always said are wonderful animals and should be praised for being such great additions to movies. Don't get so uppity on a movie just because it 'killed a ferret'. Its a movie, and you have to remember the connotation of the scene plus the entire story. Not to mention, plenty of other animals are killed in movies for just as ... doubious reasons (though the animal 'killing' was for divination, so in the context of the story, not that bad) Though yes, they never kill cats or dogs, but they are out to make money, and throwing off half their viewing audiance that doesnt want to see a cute dog hurt just so ferrets dont get a 'bum rap' isnt going to fly. Not to mention (and my memory is faulty here so excuse me if im wrong) its ferrets int he book. And they stayed (reasonably) close to the book. [Posted in FML 5907]
