When Menken said "you're wonderful...so you're an actress.." you can literally SEE the thought cross over his face "now what role can i create for this girl..."

[@aMinuteOfMarley]

"So your an actress?" I COULD HAVE SCREAMED CARRIE! Even if it results in nothing, what a compliment!!

[@ItsJustMyLife97]

AHH SAME!! that's so lovely of him to say!

[@Emma-ye1xs]

I love when she said " I have run out of questions" and he said "nooooo". Oh my goodness!!!!!!

[@ECHOIST]

Now my favourite video on your channel. SUCH passion from both of you. xxx

[@rebeccastanden9064]

petesjams This is so cute, I wish I had a boyfriend as caring and sweet as you!!

HE THINKS YOU'RE WONDERFUL, CARRIE! Aaaaaaah!

[@abov8030]

I'm crying for Carrie, it's so great :'D

[@Emily-gx6dd]

Betty Lue He called her "Wonderful!"

[@ancientcanopies]

You had him wrapped around your little finger! I think he was absolutely smitten with you! You have such a wonderful way with people it's an absolute joy to see

[@Gentlethempirate]

Omg Carrie, that was basically your audition ! They'll be calling you in the next few months to voice the new Disney Princess ! XD

[@CrankyPantss]

Lucie I wouldn't be surprised. He's going to remember her.

[@paulagiljo2995]

That what I thought. I hope so. Carrie absolutely deserves this. If someone should get the chance, she should.

[@KristyLee90]

You could see his mind thinking about what the next big thing is coming up that she would be perfect for! :D

[@antoniamcclintock3489]

And here we are 4 years later She’s Cinderella!!

[@eleanorg2680]

You have a totally natural, beautifully attentive way of interviewing which turns this into less of an interview and more of a conversation between two people who are both wonderfully passionate about everything Disney. It's lovely and very refreshing to watch.

[@NikiNSammy]

this was such a great interview and THE SINGING CARRIE THIS WAS AMAZING

[@kateterberg5152]

In spite of being a songwriting legend, Alan Menken just seems like such a sweet man. It's clear that he has so much love and passion for what he's doing. Also, I sang "God Bless Us Everyone" in children's chorus eons ago and had no idea it was written by him! What a gorgeous song!

[@hatorigirl1202]

He seemed very genuine, and I think he really did love singing with you. I would not be surprised if he went to see you in a production, especially if he were already in town.

[@LifePowered]

Carrie- You are one of the most thoughtful, entertaining, interviewers. I love seeing interviewers who are genuinely interested in the subject and aiding in conversation. All you interviews seem so natural and fun! Thank you!

[@PearlPenelope10]

8:29 😊 "You're wonderful" The moment Alan Menken started to plan a whole new Disney musical starring Carrie!

[@roorena239]

Carrie has everything required and more to be a Disney Princess

[@tm__tatiana]

Oh my goodness what an honor! How were you not bursting into tears throughout the whole thing?!?!?

[@SuperLexica]

Ok so Carrie you HAVE to be Belle in the theatre production of Beauty and the Beast!!

[@SarahFreer]

id love them to bring that show back. It needs to be shown as much as the lion king (I infact think its a better stage show )

[@PurpleStrawberry98]

I've never seen it but after seeing this interview and hearing the little snippet of the extra song he played i am desperate to go! Belle has always been one of my favourite disney princesses and the one i related with the most. Fingers crossed!

[@LiLLinds100]

yep yep yep!!!

[@riav4717]

Awhh Carrie, you can see the pure joy in your face during this interview. So so happy for you (and you're defo going to be cast as a disney princess now - and about time too!)

[@zachbishop4004]

something tells me you will be cast as belle if it comes to the west end carrie if alan has anything to do with it!! 💛😂

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

Dear Alan Menken, PLEASE have Carrie be a Disney Princess in your next movie. Sincerely, A very grateful Disney lover (ME)

[@chloeferguson2563]

Was it only me or could we see the cogs turning in his head like, 'Yes I think I've found my next princess'

[@aimsical285]

I love how in every video and interview with Alan Menken, he just loves to play the piano so much that he never wants to stop! He's my musical hero.

[@MadDirectionerGirl]

If Alan Mencken doesn't cast Carrie as a Disney Princess after witnessing her amazing talent here, I will be very upset indeed. (I mean, I know casting isn't technically his job but !!! still!!) 💕

[@saraahsing3008]

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Menken in San Diego 2 years ago. What an incredible man! So kind and gracious. ❤ You're beautiful, Carrie!!! Love your energy, as always. :)

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

Oh goodness my HEART! XXX

[@ellie-rosebaker4959]

When he started playing 'Belle' I could feel my heart jump in my chest- I felt so starstruck and I wasn't even there! Haha 💛

[@diyana]

"So you're an actress" "Yes" (and an author, a singer, a youtuber, an honorary big sister....) :p

[@leahlovesroses]

Ahhh I've just finished watching the video - what a wonderful ending!!! Your voice is just so beautiful, and you got to sing with him!!! 😭 your voices blend so well!! They'll make a Disney princess of you yet, Carrie!!

[@ladielydkyd1281]

Does anyone else see parallels between Belle and Maurice and Luna and Xenophilius or is it just me? I mean, she's often lost in her own world. She's thought of as crazy. Her father's thought of as crazy. So many people think of Belle as being like Hermione, but to me, she's like a brunette, American version of Luna Lovegood.

[@nickydanique]

LadieLydKyd That's so clever!

[@maxw9069]

LadieLydKyd you do know that Bell (Emma Whatson) is British

[@ladielydkyd1281]

Froggy Boy Not the animated Belle. I mean, technically she's French, but her accent is American in the movie.

[@annyferguson4316]

Often Europeans have an American accent when they speak English because that's the way they're taught :) just a little tidbit for you! xx

[@annyferguson4316]

Haha that makes sense I guess! My experience is second-hand (German exchange students) and it's just something I've noticed :)

[@cashenry]

He fell in love;)

[@diavoorstelling6001]

CARRIE. THIS IS AMAZING. He seemed so dissapointed the interview had ended!!!! Goals!! Agh, this makes me feel all the feels

[@michelleboon7646]

OMG!!!! What a dream come true....so happy that you shared this experience with us

[@hannaho9471]

Carrie I'm so happy for you! I can't imagine what it's like to have Alan Menken to recognize and appreciate that you're an actor and singer! Maybe he'll be able to get you in to a Disney film!

[@Hollyvlogs]

I was in tears throughout this! What a connection you both had! I believe your dream to become a Disney princess will come true after this! ❤️

[@glitterbaby00]

You're a great interviewer Carrie! So knowledgable and passionate as well. Such a dream to meet Alan Menken, you're so lucky!

[@kristina14898]

This just made my heart yearn for Carrie to play Belle. Honestly Carrie is so talented and gorgeous and I just wish the best for her in every aspect of her life. This video made me warm and fuzzy inside. Alan Menken is a legend.

[@emilygisclair]

Interviews can be so blah but this was so fun to watch!! So unique

[@meghan7474]

You are so eloquent Carrie, I can't quite believe how poised you are! What an amazing interview, very interesting and I can't wait to see this movie!! I loved all the singing btw, can I request more Disney covers in future? I know you've done quite a few but I love your voice so much that I want to hear you singing every Disney song ever haha.

[@FreyaQuirksALot]

What a dream come true! So glad you get these incredible opportunities, you are a real treasure!

[@FreyaQuirksALot]

I teared up at the end of the video! What a wonderful man he is! So truly passionate and talent exudes out of him!

[@EllasDayOff]

omg carrie this is INSANE!!!! he loves you!

[@blep301]

omg, crying. Alan Menken is a gift to man kind

[@garyc]

This is such a great video. I loved meeting him too! He's so passionate about Disney, love him! x

[@caryntonh1037]

😭😭😭 Well it's set! The extraordinary Carrie Hope Fletcher will be a Disney princess before we know it! And oh how I love you and Alan Menken together, such a beautiful energy

[@sarahmurray2845]

carrie im so happy for you!! i burst into tears when he called you wonderful :-))

[@jellykonesproduction]

The intersection of two faves: Carrie and Alan Menken. You both sounded so beautiful together!! ♥

[@annieoxley4176]

This looks like such a dream come true! So glad you enjoyed meeting him

[@sarahmariaanne]

This was such a JOY to watch. Your passion and enthusiasm just shone throughout the entire video and Alan Menken seems like such a down to earth gentleman for someone so insanely talented. Thank you so much for sharing this! xx

[@SarahFreer]

am coming back to this video to say alan menken needs to bring the broadway version back and cast carrie as belle! you could tell how mesmerised he was with her talent :)

[@AmySaysWords]

Oh my god Carrie, I'm fangirling so much on your behalf. I'm so ridiculously excited for you. This is amazing! Also I could listen to you sing beauty and the beast songs all day. :D

[@CreatingJana]

"So, I have run out of questions..." "Noo..." Awww, so sweet!! I love Alan Menken and his work, so happy that you got to meet him :)

[@betsygoodfellow5939]

I love how he was so amazed to meet you as much as you were to meet him, he seems lovely aw

[@analynnk7]

"Oh nooo.. YEAH WHAT SHOULD WE SING!?" Uh bless!! I loved this video. love seeing passionate people chat and the singing oh man !!

[@michellec24601]

musical theatre nerd over here 🙋🏻 'home' is a favourite of mine 💜

[@SwissAdelina]

Michelle C, Yaas!! I was disappointed that none of the Broadway songs will be in this movie, but now I'll be in tears when the Home motif shows up too!

[@spaceacekaitlin333]

Carrie! You look so beautiful! ❤

[@PaulCharvet]

This entire video is just so lovely! He seems like such a wonderful person!

[@clbmusic7]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video; I spend the first 7 minutes feeling sentimental and emotional and then as soon as Carrie starts singing with him, I am in FLOODS! 💜

[@feliciatee5744]

OMG CARRIE!!!!!! I love how you were just geeking out in front of Alan Menken and it's okay because he totally understands

[@zoelee905]

And Newsieeeessss too!! :)

[@cookieaddictions]

Zoe Lee yeassssss

[@HermioneLMS]

How adorable is he! So enthusiastic even though he's been in the game so long.

[@RileysFilms]

What a champion! Love Menken's work. Hope I get the opportunity to meet him one day.

[@KittyCatThang]

I am actually going to cry...my favorite West End actress singing as my favorite Disney princess. And I was in A Christmas Carol locally last year! Oh god I'm emotional. Let the stars in the sky remind us of man's compassion. Let us love 'til we die and God bless us, every one!

[@lorenaarias1952]

AWESOME!! One can never, never, never be too old for Disney. It is a wonderful place to be. I'm 59 and just came back from Walt Disney World and I loooooved it! I've been to Disneyland some 7 or 8 times, and it never gets old. The excitement, the tears in my eyes when I got there!! Whomever talks against it is absolutely insane! You have a wonderful voice! Thanks for delighting us.

[@AdiRosenbaum]

I never ever comment on youtube but I just had to say this video filled me with such joy. I can't explain why but seeing you (an inspiration and a beacon of positivity) get to talk and sing (!!) with the legend that is Alan Menken just made me feel so much, I even teared up near the end. I really can't explain it so I'll just let the feeling be i think(: Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@auBatgnauL]

I have zero interest in Disney but every time Carrie makes a video about it it's such a pleasure to see her passion for it! Just lovely.

[@ughhh]

I love when he starts playing the piano you can go right along with him right away. What a great moment!

[@littlemissoptimism]

ah I love him he seems like such a sweetie, with so much passion for what he does

[@ricepee]

well if you don't get cast as a Disney character after this, there's no chance. Haha. it'll happen if Alan has anything to do with it, by the sounds of his reactions to you.

[@Jasons0girl]

I think this is my favorite interview you've done so far! He seemed very kind and of course your interest was genuine which always makes these awesome. but of course the best parts were the music, I have a feeling he would of gone on and on with you if they had let him lol.

[@alluneedislessthan3]

I've never been able to do theater because I was always too shy/didn't have the resources but things like this make me want to chase my dream even if it's just a small local production. Musical theater is just so amazing! This video had me almost in tears of joy.

[@benjivaudeville]

alluneedislessthan3 Please do it. Theatre, to me at least, is like soul food. You'll adore it!

[@paulagiljo2995]

I feel similar. I'd love to sing/ act, but that's not possible. I just can't sing in front of other people

[@benjivaudeville]

It takes time - I used to be the same. Just keep practicing and building confidence. It can be so rewarding :)

[@lostgirlclub]

Am I lame for crying this entire video? 😂 Alan Menken is my hero, I admire him so much. And to see you too play together, two people who mean so much to me got to me today. I hope to be half AS talented As you both someday! Thank you soooo much for posting this✨💕💕💕💕

[@IzzieBizzie18]

The look of amazement on Alan's face when you said goodbye... he totally adored you!

[@MyLittleGeekCorner]

Carrie is sooo genuine, that makes watching her interviews so pleasant. And she's a Disney princess, DISNEY CAST HER IN A MOVIE ALREADY

[@amiefortman7220]

This interview was such a treat to watch. I adore that version of "A Christmas Carol" and hearing the two of you singing "God Bless Us Everyone" nearly made me cry. You're so lucky, Carrie--both you and Menken are such delights as human beings. :)

[@luna160881]

Can Carrie just do all interviews in the world? lol Interviews nowadays are all about gossip and funny stories and never about the films themselves. And she makes such good questions.

[@cookieaddictions]

Omg omg omg omg Alan Menken is my idol!! I love him, this is the coolest thing ever!!! When he said Galavant I just about DIED bec that show is perfection! Carrie you really need to watch it, its such a delight!! It was soooo funny when you said he couldn't choose the piano lol!! He always seems like the nicest person!!

I love Alan Menken so much. I love how he can't help but sing and play his song endlessly. I'm like that too, I can never stop singing. I've never seen him away from a piano and I love it. Great Interview!

[@lucymoore7676]

I cannot WAIT to see this film! I played Belle in our college production and when he began playing Home it brought a lump to my throat... I'll be in floods for the film!

[@HearteyesHayley]

Beautiful! I love it!

[@hunterburgtorf]

This was the most amazing interview! I'm so excited you got to do this Carrie and the questions you asked him were so clever and fun. I also noticed Home playing the second it started and burst into tears. The best!!

[@MisKChief]

I'm crying! How fun to sing Belle with him playing! Ahhhhh!!!

[@cheryleann6394]

I still believe Carrie should have played Belle. Absolute refreshing to have come across such talent.

[@TheSopranorose]

Wonderful interview, Carrie! I was smiling the entire time.

[@HannahSnowArt]

The way that you and Alan flowed seamlessly into singing in harmony - absolutely wonderful Carrie x

[@harrietgoodacre]

Good lord he seems the nicest man on the planet!! Great vid :)

[@Carrie]

He really was!

[@carolineh8713]

I am 32 years old and that rendition of the Belle reprise had me in actual tears. Great work as always, Carrie!

[@Kellkolo]

wow, just WOW

[@Clo4Choccy]

It's lovely seeing how connected he is to his piano, the way he is so desperate to keep reaching for it and singing. Like it's an extension of his body. And he looked so happy to have you singing there with him!

[@DizzieMsLizzie]

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney Soundtrack!! I adore Alan Menken and all the Disney music he has provided over the years. Wonderful interview Carrie!

[@SuperCrazybumblebee]

What a glorious interview. You are so natural and likable. No matter who you interview you always seem to put them at ease and they all fall the Carrie charm. The singing was wondrous too.

[@mimil1521]

The smile Alan Menken gives you at the beginning gaaah you can feel just how much you both love music and its wonderful to see (: x

[@kateandrews9821]

Carrie, I completely started tearing up. You could tell what a dream that was for you to sing with Alan. Just magical and you have such a beautiful voice X

[@lifeandlifeonly100]

I could sit here all day and watch two people who love music and film as much as you two do chat, sing and play together.

[@michelleb.954]

oh my god! i have tears in my eyes, to see two so talented people connect through Disney and music... ah just magical. And it was so clear alan enjoyed himself too... haha he didn't even wanted to stop! It must have been such an incredible honor meeting someone so passionate about music, Disney and all things magical. It was a joy to watch, thank you carrie :)

[@adelecaroline3614]

CARRIE, I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! All caps were truly necessary there. I almost started crying when he said you were wonderful. What an experience. And what a down-to-earth and kind man.

[@jory728]

It’s been 3 years and I still will watch this every time it is recommended to me.

[@beckmannm]

Just coming back to watch this WONDERFUL video, it's SO sweet!

[@Jana310895]

He just lives and breathes music and it's absolutely wonderful to see

[@rachelaleishoppe5928]

Oh my goodness gracious you're so so lucky! You both were so fantastic and I'm so happy for you!

[@kateh7484]

I don't know how you kept your composure Carrie that was amazing and he seemed to be so sweet and genuine 💕

[@ChloeGreyPathsLessStumbled]

I need a heart button for this video. It is making me so happy watching this, two beautiful people in the same room and the music, urrgh just so so happy. Don't know how you managed it Carrie, I probably would've been a tad wavery with nerves if I got to talk to him, let alone sing!

[@Hermelien17]

You just gave me SO many shivers when you started singing Belle reprise... my god I LOVE YOUUUUU

[@simonew1906]

For some reason this video left me in tears. Tears of Joy! There's so much happiness and brightness in what you're doing, Carrie and you infect others with it. So thank you !
