The Female Lead and Girlguiding gave two brownies the chance to meet the cast of Disney's #thelittlemermaid. 7-year-old Naomi and 8-year-old Eleanor interview Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King ❤️
Halle told the girls: “I think it’s so important for us to see strong girls and women in movies, because it’s an example of what we can be in the future. I remember Princess Tiana in my favourite movie, Princess and the Frog, and seeing how she was working so hard in the kitchen. Cooking for what she wanted, her dreams for her restaurant. It’s like, if you work and put in the time and be a kind person, you can really do anything you put your mind too. I think there’s a similar message in The Little Mermaid that Ariel has and I hope that you all can see that and be inspired to go after what you want.”
When asked about his favourite part of filming the movie, Jonah Hauer-King,
who plays Prince Eric said: “There was so many parts that I loved... But I’d say the standout best thing was probably meeting Halle and getting to work with her because she’s so special and such a brilliant actor and I learnt so much from her, professionally but also as a person."
