Lovely Bones, The (2010)
After a young girl is murdered, she spends time in a sort of purgatory, watching her loved ones try to find her killer and bring justice to the family.
Animal actors in this production were monitored through American Humane Society’s No Animals Were Harmed™ program.
Lovely Bones, The
Detailed Animal Action Report
Throughout the film, the Salmon family has a golden retriever, which is seen performing such mild action as sitting, standing, being petted and walking or running on- and off- leash. For all of these scenes, trainers used hand signals and verbal commands to cue the mild action, which the trained dog was accustomed to performing. A few other dogs are seen in Susie’s (Saoirse Ronan) heaven-like world, and they were also well-trained dogs cued by trainers.
The butterflies in the film were computer-generated imagery, as were the birds that transformed into and from tree leaves. The birds in the sky were filmed in their natural habitat.
