Kids keen on 'Miss Potter'

Director Noonan's film attracts adults and children

By ADDIE MORFOOT

Although he made "Miss Potter" for an adult audience, helmer Chris Noonan was not surprised to see a bevy of young girls clamoring around Renee Zellweger at the tea party following Sunday's preem at Gotham's DGA Theater.

"It is not a children's film," Noonan said. "It deals with some very tough emotional transitions in a life. But I made 'Babe' for an adult audience as well and it was sold as a film for kids."

Pic is the first film Noonan has directed since "Babe," released in 1995.
