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..."

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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!)

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!!) 💕

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 💛

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!

Oh goodness my HEART! XXX

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. :)

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.

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

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.

He fell in love;)

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!

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

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

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.

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

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!!

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.

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! ❤️

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

😭😭😭 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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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! 💜

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

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.

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

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!

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

Carrie! You look so beautiful! ❤

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

"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 :)

wow, just WOW

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!

This interviewer could sing way better than Emma Watson.

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

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.

I’m still crying at this video 3 years on. IMAGINE

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

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

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!

This was such a great interview Carrie!

I was so hoping you got footage of this! LOVED IT!

As someone who knows nowhere near as much about Disney I loved seeing you two nerd out together and share your passion for the same thing. Heartwarming :)

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.

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!!

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

Great interview !!!! Thank you Carrie

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.

oh my... such a beautiful interview! thank you so much.

hearing alan menken answer why disney is a safe place made me BAWL i love you both so much

i love you for this interview! he is such a genius. and his passion (and yours) is so inspiring. thanks you! thank you!

I want Carrie to star in a remake of a Disney musical or even a new Disney musical! She deserves it so much!!

This is everything I hoped for and more. Possibly my favourite video ever, the passion from both of you is just truly magical! xx

Who else thinks that Carrie would be a perfect live version Rapunzel? 😍 (and that Pete would be a very nice Flynn as well 😏) ❤

This is so beautiful Carrie. Thank you for sharing this moment. He is filled with so much joy. It's just lovely.

You are both pure magic! Thank you so much for this!

This made me cry!!! Carrie you're living the dream! I'm so happy you've come so far💕💕

So much love and passion from both of you so lovely to see!! Sitting tearing up at the snippet of home at the end there, the song gets me every time xx

Carrie, in this whole video I couldn't stop smiling and there were tears. You're an absolute gem; one in a million. Thank you for letting me have the privilege to look up to you x

That was an absolute joy to watch. Alan has written so much iconic, beautiful music and it seems like he truly loves it. After seeing so many of your videos I think we all know how special that must have been for you. Thank you

Made me cry genuine tears of joy. Thank you for sharing this x

I've been looking forward to this video since I saw you mention that you'd filmed it. It was amazing. Alan Menken has written some of my absolute favourite Disney music. :D The utter joy from both of your is clear to see.

im in actual tears carrie this is so lovely I'm so happy for you

Yet another graceful and eloquent interview. I love the way you were able to share excitement and genuine interest in both the questions, the answers and the songs. This was great Carrie, well done. :)

She sings beautifully

Oh Carrie he is incredible!!!!! This was soooo nice to watch. So happy you were able to meet him and sing with him!!!! Amazing!
