Fay: LaughingPlace nice to meet you.
LP: We're a Disney fan site.
Fay: I see, I see.
LP: Actually I was an extra in a scene with the family so I've seen you before.
Fay: I'm sorry. Where were you?
LP: I was just a few rows behind in the scene where he says, "That's my
brother!" So I'm in the background of that one. So that was really exciting.
Fay: That was fun wasn't it and exciting wasn't it?
LP: How was it working with the bears?
Fay: Oh wonderful, wonderful
LP: So I guess you to, in essence, got to adopt one for awhile.
Fay: Well, we raised him as own, our little bear. We just chose to overlook the fact that
he was a bear because we loved him so much. We taught him table manners. He went into the
world that his family is the people who love him.
LP: Did he present you with any particular problems, this bear child?
Fay: Well, the only problem is the nails.
LP: Oh, right. Of course.
Fay: We had to really go some to teach him not to use those
claws quite so much.
LP: Well congratulations it looks like a lot of fun.
Fay: I think it will be.
LP: Have a great day!

Interview: Christopher Young - Composer of the score (1 minute, 10 seconds) - RealVideo: Low Bandwidth • High Bandwidth
LP: I hear this was your first Disney score.
Young: Yes it was. It was and it was the realization of a fantasy I had since I was that big as it would be everyone's.
LP: Do you have a particular favorite Disney film?
Young: Oh, sure. I would have to say my favorite would probably be Snow White or Pinocchio. Those are my favorite Disney movies not only for the film but for the music as well.
LP: Now it is my understanding is that your background includes some horror.
Young: I started off doing a lot of horror. And I was so afraid that yoke I'd, or a typecast I'd never be able to break. Though I've been trying to get involved with Disney before it never quite clicked so I'm so, so blessed that finally. I mean, to me this is demonstration that I've truly broken that persona of Mr. Horror Music.
LP: Congratulations.
Young: It's great! Have you seen it yet?
LP: No, I haven't.
Young: Well, you'll love it. I think you'll really love it.
