  Speaker 1: I know it hasn't happened often. I've met like the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: voice of Thumper, Peter, I believe is his name. I
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: think he was four.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow. Okay.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And he's the youngest person I've met so far.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I know I met a couple of the kids who
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: did 101 Dalmatians. I think they're around six. John Moore
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: is the voice of Andy. He was six or seven
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: when he started as Andy. So I know they have
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: worked with young kids. I don't know about how like,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you know, two and a half. I think it just
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: kind of worked out because my dad did work there
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and I went to preschool with the director's son. So
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I knew him. And so I don't think it's like
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: your typical, you know, typical thing. And normally adults can
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: do kids' voices and they're easier to direct.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So oftentimes they'll go to that. But yeah, this was just,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: so I don't know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it like brought up on a whole bunch
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of challenges that they had to work through. So who
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: knows if they'd opt to work with a two and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a half year old again. I know around four to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: six is like, I've met other actors that are around
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that age.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah. I mean, I know I just love when,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, cause I totally agree with
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: you in the sense of like now, you know, a
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: lot of voices can are adults cause they can do
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: some pretty cool things to make themselves sound old, young,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: whatever it is. But I love what it's kids because
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: it just seems so real, you know? And then, I mean,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: even just recent film Hamnet that came out, like seeing
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: these kids that got to star in something so raw.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: What movie is that?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Hamnet. Do you know what I'm talking about?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: No, I haven't heard of it yet.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: So it was a film that came out several months ago,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: but it's a theory about how Shakespeare wrote Hamlet and
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: based on his son passing away, who was little. Okay.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And the stars of the film were kids. And watching
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: them play such a human direct role, but they were
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: so themselves, like kids. I don't know, it was just
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: so much more heartwarming because it wasn't fake. You didn't
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: know someone was pretending to be something.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: It was just a kid.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: And you're like, yeah, that's probably how a kid would
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: react in that situation. And so, yeah. Yeah. Maybe that's
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: another reason why I miss the old Pixar, because there
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: were so many kid sounds, like actual kids. I don't know.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know about Thumper. Yeah, Thumper was four.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Nemo was young, too.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I forget. Yeah, he was six, I think.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Six, okay, yeah. And then John, who's Andy, like six
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: or seven.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And it does bring a different kind of magic, because
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: it's authentic, you know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Well, what's your favorite Pixar movie? I'm guessing it's not Monsters, right?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: My favorite....
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: As much as Monsters, Inc. holds a special place in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: my heart, I always say WALL-E. And not only do
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I love WALL-E and I love the story, but my dad,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: like I said before, is a storyboard artist. And I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: think I was like around middle school when he was
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: working on it. And he was working on it for
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a few years. And that was like a time in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: my life I remember most of him like coming home
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and sharing the story development with me. And then finally
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: getting able to see it at Pixar in the theater
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: all put together.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Kind of added this like special.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: specialness to it so but even beyond that i just
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: love molly he's so cute and it's a good storyline
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: so how about you you don't have to say monsters oh.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: For me um what was my favorite probably finding nemo
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: yeah that one's a good one because i think i
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: yeah i just related to the dad so much he
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: was so fearful of everything and my sister was much
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: more like nemo you know, go out into adventure. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: so I was always like nervous all the time. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: so it was just to see him face his fears
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: and find his son and find this friend and find
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: these turtles that were just so cool. And then all
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the people in the aquarium and then like that girl
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: would give me nightmares with the braces.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember her name.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And she would like thump on the tank. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: like literally just the pressure. And because of that, like
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I literally, I think after that, every time I would
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: hit a tank with the fish, I would just think
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: about like for them, is this like.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: This boom, boom. Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: And it was just, that was just so visceral for me.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And then of course, like, you know, What's the one that, like,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: squirts out ink?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I forget.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But me and my mom always say if we're, like,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: get scared or whatever, we always say, I inked myself.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: There's so many good lines from that movie and Pixar
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: movies in general. But Nemo specifically, like you said, just
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: keep swimming.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Use it all the time. I inked myself. I'm going
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to touch the butt. And then he calls the boat.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So many, like, awesome lines that you're just like, you
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: can't beat it. Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So good. Um, and also just, yeah, the dentist, it
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: was really scary. I think that was, I probably contributed
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: to how much I hated the dentist as a kid.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That was just that whole setup was like,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and especially if they had an aquarium at the dentist office,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: you were like, do I need to save all these fish?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Do they need to get out? Do they need to
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: go home? But, um, You know, I wanted to ask
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you because, I mean, I think with Monsters, Inc. too,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: like a big thing about it was Boo facing her
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: fears and also realizing that her fears were actually not warranted.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Like these were actually nice monsters. Like they were kind
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to her and they actually didn't want to, you know.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: At first it was like, yeah, scare her. But then
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: like they had compassion and they didn't seem as they were,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you know. What do you think for you as you've,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: grown up and been in the world and done things.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: What do you think has changed from when you were
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: a kid of something that you really thought was bad
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: or you didn't like or scared you and now you
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: see it very differently?
