Linda, o que te inspirou a criar Willow’s Tale, and what message or themes did you intend to convey through the film?
I was inspired by Willow, my real-life black cat that I rescued off the streets in Hollywood. Her big eyes, fluffy tail, and quirky personality were all great attributes for the cartoon character in Willow’s Tale – a little black cat with a big imagination. She is on a mission to change the narrative of black cats, typically portrayed as bad luck, with her happy and wacky adventures.
Can you discuss the significance of using a black cat as the main character in Willow’s Tale and how it relates to the film’s themes?
Willow turns into a superhero and saves the world: That is the theme of the film. Why a black cat? Why NOT a black cat?! Willow is a fun and lovable character, and her mission is to change the narrative of black cats with her happy tales – one cartoon at a time!
How did you approach the balance between the imaginary adventures in Willow’s mind and the real-world elements in Willow’s Tale?
I used bookends, just like in my picture book, Willow’s Tale, where the cat starts out daydreaming in her real-world home (she is an indoor cat with a big imagination). Her mission is to save the world or humanity, and she turns into a superhero, which takes her on wild adventures worldwide and beyond. Mission accomplished: She lands right back in her real-world home, happy and content to have saved the world.
In what ways do you hope Willow’s Tale will inspire viewers to embrace their imagination and let their creativity shine?
Willow is a little black cat, and she likes to dream big. I hope she can inspire viewers to let their imagination go wild and dream BIG.
Obrigado, Linda!
C. M. Rubin and Linda Malik
