Disney shared a behind the scenes video of the “Once Upon a Studio” voice actors in the studio! In the short, an all-star ensemble of beloved characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios assemble for a spectacular group photo to mark Disney’s 100th anniversary. The behind the scenes clip above shows Idina Menzel and her Frozen castmates, Kristen Bell and Jonathan Groff recording their lines. Make sure you stick around to the end for another quick sighting of Idina!
If you missed the short’s TV premiere recently, it’s streaming on Disney+ and will also be shown in theaters ahead of the animated film “Wish” in November.
Idina Menzel and Cara Mentzel went on what must’ve been an exhausting promo tour to promote PROUD MOUSE last week. They appeared on The View,spoke with D23 and visited many many book stores and schools in New York, New Jersey, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Illinois and California! I added some photos to the gallery:
On a related note, Idina and Cara both signed an open letter condemning book bans and calling for an end to this oppressive attack on artistic freedom:
“It’s on all of us to support all kids against book bans. We must come together and continue to advocate for children of all backgrounds, races, genders and sexual orientations so they know they are loved, valued and that we will stop at nothing to protect their rights.” – Idina Menzel and Cara Mentzel
Idina Menzel and Cara Mentzel’s new children’s book, PROUD MOUSE, is out now! The book is a companion piece to their first children’s book, LOUD MOUSE. The duo stopped by Good Morning America yesterday morning to chat about the book, which focuses on Cara’s character, Cara Lee.
Cara Lee is a proud mouse. She is proud of her big sister Dee. She is proud of her specially decorated journal. And now she’s proud to become what she’s always wanted to be: a student. But her first day of school is different than she imagined. Everyone keeps comparing her to Dee. But who is Cara Lee? When you have a big sister with such a LOUD talent, how can you find room to shine in your own way?
Complete with gorgeous illustrations and filled with humor and heart, Proud Mouse is a clever tale about celebrating the things that make you YOU and having the confidence to stand loud and proud.
Here’s a first look at Idina Menzel’s upcoming movie, ‘You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah’! The movie, which is based on the popular YA novel, is about BFFs Stacy and Lydia who are both planning epic bat mitzvahs. But it all unravels when a popular boy — and middle school drama — threaten to ruin everything. The movie also stars Adam Sandler, Sadie Sandler and Sunny Sandler. Idina plays Adam’s wife.
Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Idina can’t promote the movie or post about it on social media. They aren’t calling for boycotts, however, so stream it August 25 on Netflix!
