The blonde who stole the show from Pattinson and Wasikowska was Daisy, a miniature horse who made her movie debut in the film.
David Zellner, who wrote and directed the film with his brother Nathan, guided Daisy onto the stage after the film. He then explained the lessons learned working with animals.
“Instead of trying to force them to do something, it’s sort of working around their strengths and limitations, and just adapting to them,” David Zellner said. “You do that, and you get the best animal performances ever.”
Daisy plays Butterscotch, the wedding present that city slicker Samuel Alabaster (played by Pattinson) aims to give to his betrothed, Penelope (played by Wasikowska).
