Featured Animal Action
In the opening sequence, a young Samantha uses a teacup to cover a frog sitting on the lawn. After capturing the frog, she holds up the dish and shows off her prize. For this scene, the trainer stood close by as the actress gently placed the cup over the frog. The amphibian was cooled slightly before the shot to keep him from jumping away.
American Humane's Certified Animal Safety Representatives monitored a scene involving three German Shepherds acting as a K-9 unit patrolling Sam's dorm area. This sequence was edited from the theatrical release.
American Humane did not monitor the scene in which the university mascot knight rides a white horse during the bonfire event.
