One of my favorite movies of all time. The film it's based off of, La Jetée, is also awesome.

    there's a very good making of where they explain they had to reshoot a scene dozens of times because of a hamster
    found it on youtube: https://youtu.be/ufyWxk5__YI [The Hamster Factor (and Other Tales of 12 Monkeys)]

    I'm dying to know the reason but can't watch the full doc

    The shot called for that hamster to be spinning in its wheel, but the animal refused to cooperate at first. Gilliam, a well-known perfectionist, insisted the shot work exactly as he envisioned it, and the crew spent the rest of the day trying to get it right, succeeding several hours later. This meticulous approach was nicknamed “The Hamster Factor” by the crew for the remainder of the film’s shoot.
