Sometimes you have to make bold choices, creatively. I'm always in favor of that.

It's great to see a relatable, accessible young woman out there, doing things and breaking the barriers for what would be considered an action movie.

It's always hard for the first movie because you have to spend so much time introducing the characters.

People grew up on the animated movie. Bill Condon is Bill Condon. And nobody does those movies better than Disney does.

You want to tell a great story. You want these characters to become part of people's lives. And then, hopefully, that generates discussion.

Of course, marketing and publicity does an amazing job of prepping everybody for that, but there's nothing like sitting there and experiencing the movie.
