My favorite BTS fact about Willard (2003) is that they casted 600 rat actors for it who were trained by a specialised animal trainer that also had worked with 300 rats on Dracula?? And they had different training camps depending on their strengths, like chewing, running, climbing, …
I am just so glad they didn‘t CGI it, nothing makes me happier than knowing that most of the actors working on the film were rats aND THEY DID SUCH A GOOD JOB

#ALSO there were 6 actors for Socrates and they must have been taught to lick up Willard‘s tears???#Or they did that naturally because rats are super empathetic#Also I hope they were shown the film afterwards#there were studies made that rats recognize if a film is about rats#imagine if they see themselves in TV;;;#filmbts#willard#willard (2003)#rats
