(We get) how necessary the primary film is to so many individuals, girls particularly, and we wish to honor that for certain. There’s a joyousness to that film, and there’s such stunning themes of sisterhood and household and acceptance, tolerance, love. Simply the title that Alice Hoffman, the superb writer, considered that’s now develop into a part of the vernacular of Sensible Magic is that there’s magic in every day life, in love, in household, in sisterhood. It’s magical, and all of us have our presents, and girls have very specific and particular presents. We actually wish to honor all of that.“
