‘It’s silly:’ Director of Bigfoot movie thanks Alberta energy centre for controversy
EDMONTON — The director of a children’s movie about Bigfoot wants to thank the Alberta government’s energy centre for starting a “ludicrous” fight over the film.
Ben Stassen laughed several times as he told The Canadian Press that the animated “Bigfoot Family” had dropped from the top 10 list of most-viewed films on Netflix about 15 days after its February debut.
After the controversy earlier this month, “it went back up to number eight and stayed there until last Sunday,” Stassen, who also produced and wrote the movie, said from his home in Brussels.
He added that the movie also made it on the top 10 most-viewed list for other streaming services, such as iTunes and Google Play.
