How on earth did they do it? This behind-the-scenes diary reconstructs director Jean-Jacques Annaud's amazing undertaking-six years of preparation, nineteen wild weeks of filing in the Italian Alps with 180 crew members, a cast of three actors, twenty-three bears and hundreds of other animals including pumas, deer, horses, dogs, fish, birds, frogs, and even insects. Showing the sometimes dangerous, sometimes humorous situations of working with animals, this well-paced volume, filled with photographs, interviews, and anecdotes, proves to be a memorable story in its own right.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA --A book that will hold great appeal for movie buffs, animal lovers, cinematography students, and the general movie-going public. Using a fast-paced, often abbreviated diary format, Benabent-Loiseau tracks the development of this remarkable film from its genesis to its final editing and release six years later. The author shares insights into the work and style of French director Annaud, who is also well known for his film production of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose . Such a book enhances the impact of the movie and reveals how extremely difficult it was to produce. Delightful reading, enhanced by photographs of the live bears and cubs at work on the sets. --Cynthia J. Rieben, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA
