    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..."

  • @aMinuteOfMarley
    @aMinuteOfMarley 7 років тому +424

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

      That what I thought. I hope so. Carrie absolutely deserves this. If someone should get the chance, she should.

    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!

  • @hatorigirl1202
    @hatorigirl1202 7 років тому +207

    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.

  • @SuperLexica

    Ok so Carrie you HAVE to be Belle in the theatre production of Beauty and the Beast!!

    • @SarahFreer
      @SarahFreer 7 років тому +9

      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 років тому +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!

  • @eleanorg2680
    @eleanorg2680 7 років тому +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.

  • @PearlPenelope10

  • @ladielydkyd1281
    @ladielydkyd1281 7 років тому +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.

    • @nicky8379

    • @ladielydkyd1281
      @ladielydkyd1281 7 років тому +7

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

    • @annyferguson4316
      @annyferguson4316 7 років тому

      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

    If Alan Mencken doesn't cast Carrie as a Disney Princess after witnessing her amazing talent here, I will be very upset indeed.

    Lmto Christmas carol was one of the best nights of my life and if I ever won the lottery I would pay the entire cast to recreate the night in front of a professional film crew so I could relive it infinite times. One of the most infectious scores I've ever heard and performed by a cast full of my faves. It. Was. Amazing.

I can't explain why but seeing you (an inspiration and a beacon of positivity) get to talk and sing (!!) with the legend that is Alan Menken just made me feel so much, I even teared up near the end. I really can't explain it so I'll just let the feeling be i think(:
