00:00We wanted to be very faithful to George, to these novellas that people love so much,

00:09and it's very easy to see why the character of Sir Duncan the Tall is just immediately so likable and understandable.

00:17I hope a story like this is universal and timeless to a certain extent,

00:23that Duncan is a kid with a silly dream, he wants so badly to go off and do something that he is unprepared for,

00:34that he doesn't have the skill set for, and I think a lot of people face that in their life at some point.

00:39And the fact that he just has the grit and the doggedness to go out and pursue that is inspiring, and it's hopeful.

00:48And I think we can always do, no matter what time you're living in, with a little bit more hope.
