Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. That song is called 'A Christmas Song'. Jack
Frost nipping at your nose, and I love that song. That song makes me think about
Christmas.
I absolutely loved the film, I must add, as you can clearly tell by my lights.
I know I'm really too early for the festive season. Jeronicus Jangle creates
some of the most magical toys. What was the one toy or present you wanted as a
child?
Aw, what was the toy that I wanted as a child? It would have to have been, I think
I wanted a Han Solo blaster. A Star Wars Han Solo blaster but I wanted that one but
the one I wanted even more were those, they were called AT-AT. It's always Star
Wars toys. You're my agent to Star Wars, right, right, Ricky? It's a Star Wars toy
no matter what. Remember the AT-ATs with the four? Yeah, remember the guys out in
the snow?
I wanted one of those so bad, right, and it has the-, they look like a big tall
animal, right, and they had the lasers shooting out of their face. I wanted one
of those so bad I could taste it. For, like, a half a decade I wanted one of
those so bad.
Did you ever get one in the end, though?
We did. We did get one in the end. We finally did after lots of petitioning from
me and my brother. Lots of petitioning, yes.
I love that. (inaudible 01.21) you, Ricky?
You know what, my brother-, I wanted really bad one of-, action figures, the
Nien Nunb, the Star Wars character called Nien Nunb.
Nien Nunb.
Yes, to get, and it was my little brother's birthday and I begged him to get
it for him, for (inaudible 01.39)
and he got it for his birthday but I took it.
Oh, I love that.
But you got it, right. Sneaky Ricky.
I wanted to find that little one. It was hard to find. I didn't have the money for
it then. He got it. (inaudible 01.54).
I also love the line in the film that a shine of imagination always belongs and I
wanted to ask you in particular, why do you think it is so important that we
always hold on to our childhood imagination?
Because I think it's important because
that's where our feeling that there are more possibilities comes from, because,
when you're a kid, you don't question yourself. You just go, 'Well, but why
couldn't we just make a jetpack?', or you'd go, or what, you know, or when
you're playing pretend with your friends, you can just pick up anything on the
ground and go, 'Okay, now this pine cone is whatever I want it to-, this pine cone
is the jewel that everybody should be searching for.' When you keep that intact,
it allows you even as an adult, even if you've had experiences in your life as an
adult, it still allows you to go, 'No, no, no, no, I guess it's still possible that
this could happen,' and that's why you wanna nurture that part of yourself and
have that stay within you so that it's readily available.
I also enjoyed a lot of the songs and, I can't lie, I was singing the way along but
I wondered, actually, what are your favourite Christmas songs?
I want to hear this. I can answer but I wanna hear what Ricky has
to say.
'Próspero año y felicidad.' Mine is in Spanish.
They're all in Spanish.
No, keep singing.
'Feliz Navidad.' Everybody knows that one. Is it Jose Feliciano used to play the
'Feliz-,'
Jose Feliciano, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Feliz Navidad.
Yeah.
I think
one of my favourite songs, Christmas songs is, it's called 'The Christmas Song'. The
funny thing is people don't usually know that. I had to look it up the other day,
you know. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. That song is called 'A Christmas
Song'. Jack Frost nipping at your nose, and I love that song. That song makes me
think about Christmas
in such a particular way. Yeah.
Yeah. Mine is George Michael's 'Last Christmas'. I'm just a big fan. I can't
not listen to that every year.
That's a great one.
Oh, it is a classic.
It just keeps.
Yeah, it's on repeat. I also really enjoyed all the offbeat dancing in the
film and I really wanted to get a wee exclusive of who was the best dancer on
set?
The thing is the only dancing I ever got to see was the dancers I danced with
and I never really got to see anybody else's number in regard to the principle
cast, but there was a-, oh, what was his name? Shaun? Shaun? I think his name was
Shaun. Big, tall, beautiful, thin.
He was black and he had this great hair and
he was the one that did all the flips. He was, kind of, like, the dance captain of
all the dancers and it made sense that he was the captain because he was killing it
and, like, and all the guys, they did flips, but it's all like, he could do all
of it. He could do all of it. He was amazing. So, it was actually a dancer that
was the best dancer.
Yeah, of course. Well, thank you very much guys and enjoy the rest of your evening.
Thank you so much.
I hope you have a lovely day. Take care. Thank you.
Take care, Katrina.
