Movie Ad Features St. Rita Students

Second graders answered questions about Santa and the Easter Bunny, which are featured in DreamWorks' 'Rise of the Guardians.'

If you want answers about childhood characters like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, who better to ask than children? That's what a production company charged with promoting DreamWorks' Rise of the Guardians did when it visited Sierra Madre's St. Rita Catholic School in October.

According to a press release posted on SierraMadreNews.net, teacher Melissa Cash's second-grade students were asked questions about the characters, like how Santa travels so quickly on Christmas Eve and what the Easter Bunny does with the teeth she collects.

The students can be seen answering questions in nationwide television spots as well as online (you can see one of the ads on the Rise of the Guardians website).
