[Philosophy in Film @PhilInFilm]

@chrismctavish @PhilFilmH2O Google Answers suggests that parts of this movie could be “Extremely horrifying and traumatizing to young viewers”. What kind of monster(s) are we dealing with?

[Philosophy in Film @PhilInFilm]

@PhilFilmH2O @chrismctavish The RCMP have not been overly helpful, but the detective with our case file asked why the bottlenapper would request “Santa Paws 2” instead of “Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws”? Can you shed some light on that?

[Philosophy in Film @PhilInFilm]

@PhilFilmH2O We are considering your demands…

[Philosophy in Film @PhilInFilm]

@PhilFilmH2O I knew this would happen! Looks like we’re doing Santa Paws II. Tough to do the sequel without covering the original though.
