“It’s hard to compliment a man” Reneé HAHA

[@wmassey683]

I’m a man and since Renee says it I agree

[@growingupwithdisney]

It kinda is, but I think it’s because it has to be genuine. Women compliment one another so often that there are many times where it’s inauthentic. While doing it to a man, it has to come from the heart, since men don’t get them often and it’s just different vibes

Reneé is SO FUNNY- so glad she’s Regina in this, love her!!

"... And Reneé Rapp is Reneé Rapp" i get that

I worked on the movie and it was the best crew experience of my career. All genuinely wonderful humans and I am so lucky to have been a part of it.

[@jordandurfee6228]

I love Auli'i, man, and I am so excited to watch her in this film! She's the whole reason I even knew it was going to be a thing!

[@chrisloving4274]

this should be renamed to renee flirting with angourie rice for 40 minutes straight

[@quiquiqui]

Ive never heard about Avantika before, but she is sooooooo cute. Can't wait to see her in the movie the musical movie :)

[@lbell9695]

She was in a Disney film called 'Spin.' It was a really heart-warming film too, I recommend!

[@Shweiss4]

I had no notes for her! SO funny.

[@jonathane3823]

Love the cast and their attentiveness to one another and tina talking on production technically speaking

[@Rianna9239]

24:26 the reprise was my FAVORITE part for Auli’i she did sooo good

[@leauxgan]

This roundtable is SO funny and their energy is so genuine and I just want to be friends with them

[@sajini7925]

This interview just made me realise how much we Gen Z use the word "LIKE" in every sentence lmao

[@imdbbookaholic]

When did it start? I'm Gen X, and I remember teachers telling me and my friends to stop saying "like" every few words 😄

[@rick.8589]

correction... Gen z's and late millenials mostly used that

[@chiwachiwa3505]

i already repeat the Mean Girls Movie all least 70x times in my life, and i remember all the scene and the dialogue

[@nokocchi1983]

songs we know are there bc of this interview 1. cautionary tale 2. meet the plastics 3. someone gets hurt 4. sexy 5. revenge party 6. someone gets hurt (reprise) 7. I see stars 8. what's wrong with me 9. world burn 10. I'd rather be me What are the final two do we hope/think are still there?

[@AceCookie]

I feel like Stupid With Love almost certainly will still be there, if they're sticking with the musical tradition of processing big emotions through song. Plus it's one of the more well-known ones from the musical. That would make Stupid With Love (Reprise) a little more likely, but tbh i think that one could potentially be done away with. Meet The Plastics follows directly on from Where Do You Belong, so that one might be one of them. But they might also have tweaked Meet The Plastics to stand on its own. So we'll call that one a maybe. I like It Roars, Whose House, and Do This Thing, but I feel like they're not likely. Fearless is a decently likely candidate, I think, although it's not particularly iconic, so they also could have written a new song to take it's place. Apex Predator is highly likely, i think. TLDR; Stupid With Love and Apex Predator are highly likely. The remaining spot will probably be either Stupid With Love (Reprise), Where Do You Belong, or Fearless. Those are my guesses, anyway Edit: after re-watching the trailers, it looks like It Roars might have made it. Or some similar number, at least. They did mention singing a song that Renee had a hand in writing, so there's almost certainly going to be at least one original number in there. Edit part 2: I didn't even realise I'd Rather Be Me wasn't originally on your list. In that case I think it'll be either Stupid With Love or Apex Predator and an original number, or two original numbers

[@scatorccios]

I think I’d rather be me is in it too! I think auli’i said it in another interview ( don’t take my word for it tho😭 )

[@mandofilms7067]

I really hope Stop and Where Do You Belong Is in it

[@abmael1297]

Looooved the choices!! But I'm living for where do you belong, it roars, and apex pedrator

[@spider.wrld1544]

personally, I feel like i want whose house is this. I know this song is not that popular, but I feel like they could do an amazing job with the movie version

[@timiyawalker8951]

You can tell that they're pretty much a family Im so excited to see it in theaters on January 12th! you can tell they're not changing the story line they are keeping it the same but adding pop music. Its a musical and I love how each and everyone is doing their homework and reasarch to study the characters they are playing and Tina Feye is all into it!!!

[@2tr6dinquwjos]

Jaquel just has the best voice ever

[@daniellemagnusson928]

I love Bebe as Gretchen so much !!!! She’s my fav !!

I love hearing Bebe in interviews, she sounds like a 1960s Beat poet, all intellectual and arty

[@LaylayLu]

24:35 IS MY FAVORITE PART HELP 😭😭

[@andyfro6907]

Avantika is a Disney girl! Thats why they mention High School Musical and why Olivia Rodrigo is part of the soundtrack en the trailer

[@valkyrie_cain86]

Pleasantly surprised to hear Cautionary Tale made it, given how short the tracklist is.

[@T1K2TB]

Ikr but sadly they won’t be having time long for making 21 songs instead of that they’re making 12 songs literally that’s it for the whole movie adaptation musical.

[@growingupwithdisney]

@@T1K2TBit makes sense, movie musicals usually only have around 10 songs

reneé and auli’i have my heart and always will, love themmm ❤❤

[@theresag.4188]

Tina fey looks so good! Shes barely aged at all. Very excited to see this!🤩

[@katmarjo5335]

Tina, the school where you taped was very much a COED school. I went there, both my kids went there. My daughter taught there and it was a very sad day when the school closed. (However there is an all boys' hs eight miles away!) I love watching the trailers and seeing the exteriors and hallways where I spent four years. Oh, a bunch of the local gals are planning to go to opening night of the movie this Friday night--hoping to spot themselves! Ps. Renee, one of my own students is a huge fan and had the exciting experience of seeing you in concert recently (she showed me video she took.)

[@dakotac180]

It's crazy how we were all watching mean girls at like 4-6 and we probably shouldn't have been watching it that young.
