00:00Hi Jason, I'm Jodie, how are you?

00:02Good, how are you?

00:02Just as that happened, there was a fox that just came out behind you, look.

00:06Oh boy.

00:08Do I look like that on film?

00:11Well, I think you're quite foxy in the best way.

00:13I feel like you were born to play this role.

00:16But listen, how nice is it getting the zoo crew together?

00:19Because obviously when you're doing a voice role, you're normally in a booth on your own.

00:23So when you come to these things, is it nice just to get the gang together?

00:26Well yeah, and you get to meet all the other people that are in the movie

00:29because we don't do our recordings together, you know?

00:31So it's the first time you actually find out who's in the film with you

00:35and then you get to say hi.

00:37A lot of them are people that I'm a fan of and so it's nice to be in the group, you know?

00:42How nice is it when they say, do you want to do this all over again?

00:45Oh, I'd love to do five of them.

00:47Yeah, it'd be great.

00:48Or ten, whatever they want.

00:50It's a light lift considering how much work goes into this film,

00:56just the little bit that we do, it's, I really admire the amount of work that goes into it.

01:03I really love your dulcet tones as Nick.

01:06You lend them to him so well.

01:07How fun is it playing a character like this?

01:10Very fun.

01:11They really encourage me to just kind of make stuff up too,

01:16but you don't really need to.

01:18Jerry Bush wrote a great script and he's in the booth there with me,

01:21you know, also as the director and he's kind of explaining to me what each scene is about

01:25and without him, I'd really be clueless.

01:30And I feel like you're such a legend.

01:31You've done so many different things,

01:32but I mean, being in a movie like this, being in a Disney animation,

01:35that's got to be up there with the highlights, right?

01:37Yeah, it's the big leagues.

01:39So I was very excited and flattered when they called back before the first one

01:45and surprised because I really hadn't done any voiceover work before.

01:49So I'm very flattered that they didn't recast me for the second one

01:53because I kind of wanted another shot at it.

01:55Amazing.

01:56Well, you look so cool.

01:57It's lovely to meet you.

01:58Thank you so much, Jason.
