How the Movie Was Made!

This movie is like a big adventure! It was made a long, long time ago, in 1993. The people who made it wanted to tell a special story about love and finding family.

They filmed it in Seattle, even though sometimes they had to pretend places were somewhere else, like making a fake New York building! It was a surprise hit, meaning lots of people loved it and it made a lot of money, like winning a big prize!

What Do People Do There?

In Seattle, people do all sorts of jobs! Some people work in offices, some build things, and some even work with computers.
