Movie Details Facts and Trivia 
Ooh. I never considered that aspcet of Foxface’s death. How horrible would that be? That among her last thoughts would be, Well, at least these two won’t do anything bad to my body. Sadness. Now I want to give Foxface a hug again. Wonderful review. Like many, this movie and associated book series has eaten my brain and I mull it over in my head frequently. (And I’ve got a movie pass that I intend to use to watch it again, if the stars align.) Thanks, by the way, for reiterating the underlying message of children dying is bad, m’kay?’, because that’s something that has such potential to get lost in the telling of the story. How terrible of an upbringing must a Career tribute have, to be raised from an early age knowing they’re going to have to kill or be killed? Worst. Birthday parties. Ever. Augh. This series breaks my heart a little bit, each and every time I go back through it.
