The Disney Channel puts out movies, like, every couple of months.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The average movie-goer in this country sees six films in a year. That's one every two months. What the studios are trying to do is make sure it's their movie.
Disney produces fabulous movies around certain characters, and then they commercialize that engagement through toys, books, cruises.
The movies I usually do are maybe three or four weeks because they don't have a lot of money.
A nice thing about being at Disney is that these movies can develop into a presence in theme parks and become something real, or maybe get a sequel or tell other stories.
I always wanted to do a Disney movie.
I think nothing ever ends on Disney Channel. They keep playing it.
On a television show, you basically make a movie a week. Movies take three months - it's crazy. They're so slow, it's like vacation to me.
I get offered movies probably twice a month and they are just generally bad.
We are Disney, in a sense. When you've been there for 20 years, there's a certain heart and soul to one of those films, and you inhabit that to a certain degree. So if it feels true to you, then your audience will hopefully go for it.
When you do a movie, you don't know when it's going to come out. In a year, you forget about it.
