    When Menken said "you're wonderful...so you're an actress.." you can literally SEE the thought cross over his face "now what role can i create for this girl..."

    "So your an actress?" I COULD HAVE SCREAMED CARRIE! Even if it results in nothing, what a compliment!!

    He seemed very genuine, and I think he really did love singing with you. I would not be surprised if he went to see you in a production, especially if he were already in town.

    In spite of being a songwriting legend, Alan Menken just seems like such a sweet man. It's clear that he has so much love and passion for what he's doing.
    Also, I sang "God Bless Us Everyone" in children's chorus eons ago and had no idea it was written by him! What a gorgeous song!

  • @eleanorg2680
    @eleanorg2680 7 ปีที่แล้ว +357

    You have a totally natural, beautifully attentive way of interviewing which turns this into less of an interview and more of a conversation between two people who are both wonderfully passionate about everything Disney. It's lovely and very refreshing to watch.

      id love them to bring that show back. It needs to be shown as much as the lion king (I infact think its a better stage show )

    • @PurpleStrawberry98
      @PurpleStrawberry98 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've never seen it but after seeing this interview and hearing the little snippet of the extra song he played i am desperate to go! Belle has always been one of my favourite disney princesses and the one i related with the most. Fingers crossed!

    @MadDirectionerGirl 7 ปีที่แล้ว +68

    If Alan Mencken doesn't cast Carrie as a Disney Princess after witnessing her amazing talent here, I will be very upset indeed.
    (I mean, I know casting isn't technically his job but !!! still!!) 💕

  • @aimsical285
    @aimsical285 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love how in every video and interview with Alan Menken, he just loves to play the piano so much that he never wants to stop! He's my musical hero.

  • @hannaho9471
    @hannaho9471 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Carrie I'm so happy for you! I can't imagine what it's like to have Alan Menken to recognize and appreciate that you're an actor and singer! Maybe he'll be able to get you in to a Disney film!

    @ladielydkyd1281 7 ปีที่แล้ว +213

    Does anyone else see parallels between Belle and Maurice and Luna and Xenophilius or is it just me? I mean, she's often lost in her own world. She's thought of as crazy. Her father's thought of as crazy.
    So many people think of Belle as being like Hermione, but to me, she's like a brunette, American version of Luna Lovegood.

      Froggy Boy Not the animated Belle. I mean, technically she's French, but her accent is American in the movie.

    • @annyferguson4316
      @annyferguson4316 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Often Europeans have an American accent when they speak English because that's the way they're taught :) just a little tidbit for you! xx

    • @annyferguson4316
