I mean, we went back and looked at all the old Snow Whites and the classic Disney princes and Sleeping Beauty, and they all had this sort of voice.

It was like they loved the sound of their own voice.

Like I'm an actor or something.

Yes.

It was sort of Mario Lanza.

It was a blast.

It really was so much fun.

I don't know.
