00:10The fact that I'm able to represent for Ariel and for my community, for all the black and
00:15brown little girls and boys to be able to see themselves as a Disney princess is spectacular.
00:20And then the rest of the amazing diverse cast, like Noma and Javier and Melissa, it's a beautiful
00:25melting pot of what we all represent and it's stunning. I'm just so excited that people
00:30are going to be able to see it.
00:31The fact that so many different kinds of children are going to be able to look up at the screen
00:34and see themselves is amazing and important and something I didn't have when I was a kid,
00:39so yeah, I'm really happy for that.
00:42You are creating this story that lives in so many people's hearts and memories after all
00:50these years from the classic, so you feel kind of, it's a different responsibility.
00:56You don't want to upset anyone, but at the same time you have to do what you are asked
01:03to do, which is bring a different side of it, a different color to it without losing the
01:12original flavor of it.
