  • -I want to talk about "Frozen 2," but also I --

  • We talked to your mom, and she sent us this photo.

  • -I'm sorry? -I talked to your mom.

  • -You talked to my mom? -I talked to your mom.

  • -And I asked her for a photo of you.

  • -[ Laughing ] Okay.

  • -If she had any of you at Disney or something like that.

  • And here's a picture of you as a little girl at Disneyland.

  • -Yeah, killing it! [ Audience aws ]

  • -This girl grew up to be a Disney princess.

  • -Look at that pose. I thought I owned Disney even back then.

  • They just didn't know it yet. [ Laughter ]

  • -How cool is that that you grew up to be a Disney princess?

  • -I was 15 in that photo.

  • -Wow! [ Laughter ]

  • Oh, my God. You look so young at 15.

  • But you're doing a show on Disney+.

  • -Yeah. -[ French accent ] Disney Plu.

  • -[ French accent ] Disney plu.

  • -[ Normal voice ] Yeah, Disney plu.

  • -[ Normal voice ] I'm keeping it in the family.

  • -It's called "Encore." -It is.

  • -Talk to me about this. -Listen, I think you'll like it.

  • Here's what it is.

  • I've been proud of a lot of projects.

  • This might be number one.

  • We take previous high school musical/theater casts

  • and reunite them to put on their show in six days.

  • So, obviously, that's very funny.

  • And also, we have casts that are millennials.

  • And we have casts that are baby boomers.

  • So some people saw each other five years ago.

  • Some people saw each other 45 years ago.

  • And the one thing that unites us all, right,

  • is that word high school.

  • We all feel a little gross when you say it, right?

  • Like we're going to puke. [ Laughter ]

  • -Yeah. -'Cause it's traumatic.

  • But to shed the labels that you had in high school

  • and sort of reintroduce yourself to people that you know.

  • It's a little bit like time travel.

  • And it is the most positive, uplifting show.

  • And I watch it with my kids. We've seen all the cuts.

  • And I'm so proud of it. -It's fascinating.

  • It's called "Encore." -It's called "Encore."

  • -Do people, like, hook up?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -I didn't hook up with anyone.

  • -No, no, no. I mean, almost like a reunion.

  • -Well, yeah. I mean, there is like --

  • There's this beautiful aspect of --

  • There's this electricity when you see someone

  • you haven't seen in 20 years,

  • whether you want to make amends to them

  • or you need to say something that you didn't say

  • and stick up for yourself or it's like an unrequited love.

  • Maybe you were lovers in high school

  • and now you're not and you're both divorced.

  • I don't know what's gonna happen.

  • -Oh! See, that's what I'm talking about.

  • -Watch the show! [ Laughter ]

  • -Let's talk about "Frozen 2." -Let's do it.

  • -It comes out November 22nd. -Yeah.

  • -What can everyone expect for this one?

  • -This one is a much bigger adventure than the first one.

  • I was really proud of the first one

  • because we talked about self-love and familial love

  • when a lot of times,

  • you just get to talk about romantic love.

  • But in this movie, we delve a little bit into romantic love.

  • And the thing I think I'm proudest of

  • is the way that they represented Kristoff.

  • Like, the movie -- in the first one, it's, like, two females.

  • It's great.

  • But in the second movie, Kristoff has a song

  • that is going to blow your mind, sung by Jonathan Groff.

  • It's called "Lost in the Woods."

  • And it's about his big feelings for Anna.

  • And little boys don't often see representations of other boys

  • having really big, loving feelings.

  • And there's a line in the song that says,

  • "You feel your feelings and your feelings are real."

  • And Weezer just did a cover of it.

  • And someone you might know is in the video.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -You just winked. -I did, yeah.

  • -Yeah, yeah, yeah. -It was something in my eye.

  • But it's me. It is me. -Yeah, you're in it.

  • -And he also has two lines that I love

  • where he rescues Anna at one point,

  • and it's in the midst of battle,

  • and he looks at her, and the first thing he says is,

  • "I'm here. What do you need?"

  • He doesn't say, "Stand back. I've got this."

  • And I was like -- I stood up when I first saw it.

  • I was like, "Do you know how profound that line is?"

  • -Yeah. [ Laughter ]

  • -And then, in the end, Anna apologizes for something.

  • And he says, "It's okay. My love is not fragile."

  • [ Audience aws ] -Wow.

  • -I know, right? [ Laughter ]

  • -I got to say, the -- What do you call it?

  • The animation in this movie is something

  • I've never seen anything like it.

  • -So great, right? -Get ready.

  • They're gonna win all sorts of Oscars and whatever awards --

  • 'cause I've never -- the water.

  • -The water is crazy-looking!

  • -It's not like "Little Mermaid" cartoon waves.

  • -No. -It looks like a real ocean.

  • -Yeah, it's terrifying. -It's unbelievable.

  • Amazing animation, and you just crush it.

  • -Thanks.

  • -Not only are you great at singing,

  • but your voice acting is fantastic.

  • -Thanks. Those animators are really the unsung hero.

  • And I would love to take a minute just to say thank you

  • to all of our animators.

  • We have hundreds of people work on this movie.

  • -It's nuts. It's unbelievable. -Oh, they're so good.

  • And there's just one person that works on Elsa's braid.

  • -Oh, really? -Yeah.

  • But they also -- they have a lot of fun together.

  • And when they show us the pre-vis, like the pre-visual,

  • when I have to re-record a scene or slide a line in or something,

  • what they show us often has tricks in it like --

  • when we watch the pre-vis, first of all, we're nude, okay.

  • -No, that's not true. -And we're bald, 100%.

  • -You mean the cartoons are. -The cartoons are.

  • -Okay, thank you. -Oh, I'm not nude!

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -I've never done a cartoon, okay?

  • Whatever you got to do, man.

  • Whatever you got to do to get into character,

  • go for it, Kristen. -No, no.

  • It's a Disney film.

  • The characters are nude, which doesn't sound any better.

  • -No, it doesn't, yeah. -But there's just like white --

  • -There's no nudity in this movie at all, by the way.

  • -Or grayish body parts. No nudity.

  • I'm in so much trouble at Disney.

  • Disney people behind the scenes are like,

  • "What's she talking about?" -No, no.

  • -But we're also bald. -Yeah.

  • -Because they haven't done the animation.

  • -They haven't done the animation.

  • And then, often times, like, I remember trying to slide

  • one line into this intimate scene where Elsa and I

  • are sitting on the bed.

  • And I'm like, "It's okay. You'll always have me,"

  • and the animators just put in -- "Pbth!"

  • -Oh, my God. -Yes. Yes.

  • -Oh, come on. -They put in toots.

  • There's been times where I've been, like,

  • jumping from a cliff to cliff, and I don't make it.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And you just see -- -They're just playing with you?

  • -Wa-wee-woo. [ Laughter ]

  • Yeah, they have so much fun in there.

  • -Gosh, it must be amazing. What a cool thing to be part of.

  • Do people come up to you, like, parents

  • and go like, "Oh, my gosh. Can you take a picture with my kid?"

  • You're Anna." -Yes.

  • Yes, all the time.

  • And here's one thing -- I do want to say this.

  • If your kid is not 7 years old yet, maybe skip it.

  • Because I've been in so many awkward situations

  • where the parent gets excited, and it's like a 3-year-old,

  • and they're like, "This is Princess Anna!"

  • And they just like shove a 3-year-old at me.

  • And then, I'm like, "Hi. How are you? I'm Anna."

  • Wait, what.

  • And then they recognize it, but there's this dissonance,

  • and they don't get it.

  • -They're like, "What?"

  • Because they're looking at, like, an old woman.

  • -No. [ Laughter ]

  • -And they're like, "That's not Anna. She's 17, okay?"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And I just feel like they do not get it.

  • But at 7 years old, they can understand that

  • there's, like, a voice actor.

  • So prior to that, I would say skip the picture.

  • They're fine without a picture.

  • -Wait till 7, and then do the picture.

  • -Then throw the 7-year-olds at me.

  • -It is such a cool movie. I loved it.

  • I watched it with my two girls, and they loved it.

  • They were like, "Oh, my gosh, we're gonna go see it again."

  • -I'm so proud of it. -You're fantastic in it.

  • I want to show everyone a clip.

  • Here's Kristen Bell in "Frozen 2." Take a look.

  • ♪♪

  • -Did Elsa seem weird to you?

  • -She seemed like Elsa.

  • -Hmm. -[ Clears throat ]

  • -That last word really seemed to throw her.

  • What was it? -I don't know.

  • -No, no. -[ Clears throat ]

  • I don't -- I don't know. -No, no.

  • -But -- -Ah. Ice.

  • Oh, come on.

  • She couldn't act out ice?

  • I better go check on her.

  • Thanks, honey. Love you.

  • [ Door closes ]

  • -Love you too.

  • ♪♪

  • It's fine.

  • -Kristen Bell, everybody!

-I want to talk about "Frozen 2," but also I --
