00:02 - So it would have been almost,

00:07 I think three years ago now, when I was first cast,

00:10 I think three different auditions,

00:13 and it was absolutely brilliant.

00:16 And then, is it all got delayed due to COVID,

00:21 but it was an absolutely amazing experience.

00:24 And I honestly can't say how thrilled I am to be here.

00:30 - Do you have to be a Disney fan to work for Disney?

00:32 - Not necessarily.

00:34 I mean, I was definitely a fan.

00:37 The Disney films made up a massive part of my childhood.

00:42 So the original films, I love them.

00:45 So "Prince and the Frog", the original Peter Pan film,

00:48 it's just brilliant.

00:49 - What do you think about live action?

00:51 Do you think it's a good thing

00:52 that they're modernizing all the new movies?

00:55 - I think,

00:57 as long as there are people who still enjoy the films,

01:00 yeah, totally.

01:01 I mean, I've always loved the originals.

01:05 I love the live actions as well.

01:08 So the "Aladdin" live action, that's amazing.

01:11 But yeah, I do think it's nice

01:14 to put a new spin on things sometimes.

01:16 Yeah, definitely.

01:17 - Do you think you're gonna work for Disney once again?

01:20 - I'd definitely like to.

01:22 It was a fantastic experience.
