WEBVTT - The Voice of Kyla Pratt 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:06.120 Hi, Christie Christy. Oh, that's right. Unfortunately Christie is not 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.400 here today. I am flying solo on this wonderful episode 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.360 of I hear voices. But man, she is going to 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:17.959 be jealous because do we have an episode today? We 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.960 are joined by Disney Royalty. That is not a euphemism. 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.520 We are actually joined by Disney Royalty. It's pretty great. Um, 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.720 I'm very very excited.

But she is going to be bummed. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.040 I know she is going to miss out on announcing uh, 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.360 the end of the entry period for the contest, and 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.760 we have gotten some entries.

Imagine the 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.640 Hunger Games without the murder um, which is essentially what 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.440 we're going through.

Um, and 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.160 that is a wonderful thing, right It's either one or 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.400 the other. It's not let me just do something really quick. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.880 It's either too much or absolutely nothing. Well, you are 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.960 very much firmly ensconced in the too much part of 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:48.120 your career right now, because well, I was gonna say, 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.719 you've got so I will will being I hear voices. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.920 Of course we will get into all the animated stuff. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.320 But I mean, first of all, just starting with you. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.039 Your on Call Me Cat, Yes, you know, which has 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.280 been a huge hit for for Fox. UM, so you're 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.280 you're doing. You're one of the few people that has 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.680 come on the show that is right now in the 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:10.320 middle of doing both on camera and voiceover. So you 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.080 are in the perfect position to tell us which one 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:20.919 do you prefer? Oh oh, um, I would say I was, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.520 I was, I have to say voice over, I yes. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.520 But it's because I mean, I don't get me wrong, 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.760 I love being on camera. I love what I do, 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:34.239 I love performing UM, but I'm also a very chill person. 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.120 So I love being able to go into the booth 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:43.160 with like sweats and a hat and a hoodie and 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:47.359 just yelling into a microphone until I forget that I 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.520 have to. I exert so much energy that I get 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.839 a little light hitt and I'm like, oh wait, because 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.960 I didn't you forget how much energy you have to 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.080 put into it. But to like when I was younger, 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.080 was the first time that I have I was doing 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.040 a TV show and I was doing animation at the 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.000 same time, The Proud Family the first time around, and 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.120 I used to love it. But I used to lose 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.600 my voice all the time, and I didn't realize that, 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.240 you know, as a young actor, I was thinking about 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.920 like my facial expressions and how I was looking. But 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.000 then when I got behind the microphone, I didn't have 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.920 to worry about that, and I think I was able 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.680 to become like Sillier and Goofier and just making the 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.840 faces in order to get out whatever I needed to 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.600 get out, you know. So that kind of affected me, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:40.960 and so now I don't know how to not look silly. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:46.760 We've talked before about how essentially every actor is insecure, 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.760 and you're especially when you're on camera, You're worried about 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.600 how I'm looking, what I'm doing and then when you 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.920 get behind the microphone, there's just this freedom of the 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.800 acting where it doesn't matter exactly what you said, it 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.760 doesn't matter how you look, doesn't matter how people are perceiving. 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.680 You just get to just act like you're a kid 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.680 again in front of a microphone, and it's just absolutely wonderful. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.440 It's it's amazing. What's crazy is like the first time 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.680 I did it, I was I was fourteen, and of 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.400 course we all have our issues. Always tell people like, look, 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.960 we're actors, were very unstable, just just deal with it, okay. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.760 But I was like, at first, I was like, wait, 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.040 my voice sounds crazy. Like now, because you couldn't see me, 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.800 I was finding something else wrong with me, something else 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.080 that where I didn't like, and so I didn't really 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:29.679 like my voice and I was like, oh my gosh, 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.520 how am I doing voice over? This is not gonna work. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.319 They're gonna fire me, Like, oh my voice sounds crazy. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.160 And then after doing this show, I'm like so many 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.960 people my voice is so distinctive, and so many people 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.439 love my voice, and it kind of made me be like, okay, 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.640 stop picking it yourself, stop picking it every little thing, 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.360 like everything about you is how it's supposed to be. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.080 And ultimately it made me stop finding reasons or things 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.040 that I didn't like and it was like, let it go, 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.240 Like you're making up stuff. Now, that's amazing. Yeah, I 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.079 think people forget that because we were we were quote 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.040 unquote child actors. We're still just people growing up and 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.280 we have the same issues that every other person has 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.679 growing up. We're just doing it in front of everybody else. Absolutely, 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.040 And I'm I'm always a very big mental health advocate 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.800 and I'm always talking to people about you know, realizing 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.160 and recognizing that people that a lot of people put 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.839 on these pedestals and it's like, no, no, we're human 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:29.080 beings and we're experiencing the same things that you've experienced, 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.160 and sometimes most of the time at a heightened level, 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.800 and it's it's it's more intense, you know, and it's 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.720 just I'm like, hey, we're normal people. We go through 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.400 crazy things and we're extremely insecure about everything we do. 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.240 So now it's like everything is amplified. And so but 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.600 I think as a as a kid in this business, 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.800 once you recognize that, you go, okay, I'm tripping, don't 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.880 don't don't make fun of yourself or don't down yourself, 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.800 you know what I mean. Like I'm I've always been 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.000 super self aware, so I realized as when I'm doing 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.320 it to me and so yeah, I think that's amazing 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.480 working on it. I think, well, I think you gotta 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.360 We're gonna have to work on that for entire lives. Um. 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:10.800 And so this is a perfect I was going to 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:12.640 get into the mental health stuff a little bit later, 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.520 but this is, uh, you know, a perfect place to 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.839 do it since you mentioned it, because I've been open 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.760 about the fact that when I was about twenty three, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.120 I got hit with an anxiety disorder that totally changed 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.760 the course of my life. And you talk about that 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.840 as much as you can, because talking about it is 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.559 one of the most important things you can do. I 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.360 would argue it is the most important thing you can 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:34.280 do for for your positive mental health is being okay 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.240 about you know, speaking about it when you have to, 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.400 when you can with anybody who's dealing with it. So 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.440 how did you get into the whole kind of world 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:47.640 of mental health advocacy? UM? I feel like I kind 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.520 of just fell into it. I have UM, I've always 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.360 questioned certain things about me, but I was always very 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.560 uh confident, like out loud. As a kid. UM, I 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.960 didn't really beat myself up up too much. It was 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.600 little things here and there. But as I got older 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.960 and I became a mom, I started to question, UM 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.880 so many things. I started to be nervous that I 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.960 wasn't going to be the best mom, and um I was. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.559 I was. I was putting pressure on myself and knowing 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.200 that there were so many things that I can do 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.720 and say that I can put on my children and 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:26.439 they can ultimately affect them mentally, and I just became overwhelmed. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.240 And when I had my youngest daughter, UM, she was premature, 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:34.840 and I realized that I started feeling negative all the time. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.080 Like I am the most positive. I find the good 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.920 in everything. And I really started to like be like, 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.920 you're not good for this, You're not able to do this, 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:44.040 and I'd be like no, no, no, no, no, what 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.800 where where is this coming from? So my positivity was 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.880 fighting off the negative thoughts and I just, you know, 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.160 I didn't feel myself for so long. And when I 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.160 started to slowly feel myself again, I said, this is 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.720 something that I should talk about, like in interviews or 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.600 with other people, because I know that other people are 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.920 going through these things, and if you hear someone talking 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.800 about it, it helps you feel not alone. Um, if 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.880 you're struggling through the process, and I think to me, 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.640 a mental health like that's something that can help nourish 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.160 other people is knowing that someone else is experiencing the 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.400 same feelings that you're feeling and you're not alone in 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.600 this feeling. It doesn't last forever, and take deep breaths 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.280 and it's okay, You're not abnormal. And I think it's 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.320 always been taboo because everyone wanted to seem perfect. Everyone's perfect, 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.800 we are or we're celebrities. Were supposed to have the 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.120 best skin and the best hair and all of this 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.559 money that's gonna handle all of our problems. So people 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.480 look at you like, who do you think you are 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.199 having issues? Or who do you think you are? You? Oh, 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.959 you have anxiety? Like you have a good life, because 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.720 they see what we show them. And I constantly am 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.719 trying to let people know, like, no, baby, I have days, Okay, 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.000 I don't want I want to lay down, I am 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.240 overworking myself, or I need to make time for certain things, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.600 or all of a sudden, now feel anxiety and I'll 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.280 be like, what is going on? And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.160 I'm just having anxiety. I have to take deep breaths 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.960 and and when you start to recognize it and you 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.800 become more aware of how you're feeling, you know, it 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.720 helps you get out of this. It's a lifelong journey 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.800 for all of us. And I think constantly telling people 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.440 you're not alone, and these people who you think have 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.920 it all together are going through a similar things, so 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.959 just it's okay, you know, no, I agree. I think 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.680 it's amazing, and I also think i'm One of the 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.200 things I talked about a lot is the fact that 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.920 I personally believe that social media has not helped at 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.000 all because it is one of those things where everybody's 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.800 putting out that they're having their best life, and everybody's 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.840 looking at it thinking, wow, all these people's lives are 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.719 so much better than mine, when in reality, everybody's going 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.600 through their own stuff. I mean, just like you said, 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.800 it doesn't it doesn't matter how many fault. We won't 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.480 even get into the fact that they're called followers, but 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.680 how many uh you know, people are are watching you 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.120 and thinking to themselves, well, yeah, that your their life 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.000 is perfect. They're working all the time and you have 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.400 to kind of remind them like, no, we're we're all 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.800 real people and we're all going through the same stuff. 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.600 And um, just like you said, nothing helped me with 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.080 my anxiety more than talking about it and and other 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.160 people talking about there's because just like you said, then 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.800 you know you're not alone. You know that there's other 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.680 people out there going through exactly what you are. So 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.200 I cannot applaud you enough for bringing that to the 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.080 forefront because it's it's hugely important. Thank you. I did 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.640 an interview recently and I didn't realize that I I 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.200 felt that way with social media. Like I always say, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.120 I'm so glad I didn't talk UK during that time 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.600 and having kids right now during that time, it's like 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.280 I'm holding off as long as possible. But I had 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.880 told someone recently I was like, you know, growing up, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.560 my mom always told us like movies and TV, that's entertainment, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.240 not real life. This is entertainment. These people are not real. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.920 This is just to entertain you. And so it kind 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.160 of helped me not think like, oh, watching a certain movie, 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.560 that's how I'm supposed to add to These are things 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.680 I'm supposed to do. So now I'm kind of letting 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.720 people know, like, hey, social media is entertainment. That's all 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.840 it is. It's entertainment. It's entertainment. I'm like I'm today, 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.720 I'm like, oh, what's the best picture I can post? 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.520 And every once in a while, I go, Okay, I 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.680 need to post a picture with my makeup not done. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.080 So when people see me when I'm not doing interviews 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.440 and stuff, they know Tyler is not like this all 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.920 day every day. It's not happening. My favorite way to 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.400 be is hair on the pony's tail, face washed, moisturized, 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.400 sweats on, and chilling. So in a while I'm like, dang, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.760 I haven't posted anything like that recently. I gotta do that. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.320 I gotta make sures like the normal. Yeah, because that's 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.200 what it is. Again, one of the best things I 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.320 ever different my anxieties. I erased all my social media. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.400 It's been almost three years and it's been just wonderful. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:41.840 So I always say, you know what they're saying about 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.080 the saying about me on the internet, because I don't. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.880 I have no idea. I don't know it's and that's 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.080 hard because I remember I saw something recently where it 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:51.920 was like my name come came up in something and 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.280 I was like what, Like, I'm not even and I 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.280 had to go get alone let it go. And I'm 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.240 one of those people. I'm really big on address saying 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.600 like people, but in the social media world, it's like 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.240 there's no points. Like social media has made it okay 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.480 for people to just say anything and everything they want 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.800 with no consequences, and it's like you can't argue with people, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.880 like just let them be and just you know what, 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:21.640 enjoy whatever. This makes you feel good about enjoying. So 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.480 you mentioned growing up that your your mom made sure 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.720 you knew that it was just entertainment. So speaking of entertainment, 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.000 you know, cartoon wise, what did you grow up watching. 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.120 What were your favorite kind of animated series when you 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.400 grew up and were you even an animation fan growing up? 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.880 Oh my goodness, I'm trying to like flash back because 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.760 I feel like I've just been a Disney kid my 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.360 entire life, like well before being a part of the 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:51.040 family officially. Um, and I mentioned I'm trying to think 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.880 of anything animated. Um, I mean we were talking all 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.600 morning about the Lion King. I was also like the 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.480 bed knobs and Broomstig's Girls or mixture of animation and 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.960 real life. We I had all the VHS is the 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:10.639 little the white cassette. Um now I'm like, I know 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.400 I look younger than I am, but we had all 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.199 the all the white cassette tapes, and we just had 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.560 them lined up with Sleeping Beauty and beauty and the best, 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:22.680 all the big, all the big ones with the big 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.399 plastic opening thing and the pictures of the front and 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.000 as soon as you step on it, now that VHS 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:32.760 doesn't fit in anymore and you're trying to readjust the inside. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.200 But yeah, I loved all of those. A hunchback and 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:40.520 not like everything I was. I'm a big like I'm 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.520 a big kid, and I and I and I love 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.760 that I've kept that. I feel like every adult needs 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.600 to keep that in order to like just be happy 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.600 my kids. I want them to be kids as long 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.840 as possible, and then I don't want them to lose 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.679 that essence. I feel like being able to create and 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.320 use your imagination, I've but like that helps as well, 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.159 because once you go into this like large world of 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.800 like no more play time, time to work, time to 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.240 pay bills, it's like, wait, you just you just took 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.760 colors out of their hand and just said, hey, learn this, 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.040 and that's not fair like allow them to, you know, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.879 keep that. And I think if everyone kept that the 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.119 world would be such a better place. I agree. One 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:23.760 of the mottos I live by, and my wife always 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.600 makes fun of me for this in a fun way, 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:30.840 is there's a very big difference between childish and childlike. Yes, 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.480 so childlike you should never lose. I mean ever, childish 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.600 not so good? Childlike wonderful. I love. I've never heard that, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.040 and I love it because I agree that no childish 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.159 nothing we don't do. We don't do childish things. But 0:18:46.320 --> 0:19:00.119 childlike absolutely amazing. Absolutely. Okay, So gonna put you on 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:04.320 the spot. Disney movies growing up? What's your favorite one? 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.320 I mean, between Lion King and all that kind of stuff, 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:08.720 what's your favite? What's your favorite one? You have to 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:14.080 pick one Disney movie, the favorite one. I gotta pick one, uh, 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.160 the first one that pops in ahead. I'm gonna say Aladdin. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:22.239 I have to say Aladdin. I loved everything about it. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:27.119 Robin Williams, is this the freaking genie man like? I 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:31.200 just I love from the voices from the like anything 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:35.359 and everything, the music, the carpet ride, the Jasmine being 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.040 stubborn but still wanting to be a princess and still yes, 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.119 a whole new world. But hold on, I can handle this. 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.840 I love everything about Aladdin. Aladdin was phenomenal. It really 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:45.720 was phenomenal. They had four or five in a row 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.040 there where they just kept getting better. It seemed like 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.919 I love it. Just it felt like, I think, just 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.280 reminding us of magic, you know, like we never we 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.560 if you could have three wishes, what would you want? 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.840 And then the street street rats trying to Um, trying 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.760 to con him into more wishes and getting him. I 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.280 love everything about it. And I think also for me, 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.600 I think that movie was like I saw other movies 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.639 as a kid, but I feel like that was for 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:16.879 me where I felt the first time seeing like someone 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.080 with brown skin, and so it made me feel I 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.119 felt more relatable to the character. And uh so I 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.080 think that's why that's the first one that popped into 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.560 my head. That's incredible. I love that. Okay, so then 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.560 how did you find voiceover where you know?
