Disney Jr. asked for video clips of kids declaring their costume choice. I thought it sounded like a fun idea. You can never have enough videos of toddlers in costume. I may have overestimated Roo's ability to take direction a bit. Still she is only just three and I maintain the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I put her in her costume to her absolute delight.
Fabulous, no?
It took 8 or 9 takes, curtsey lessons (I had to Google it and enlist Mike as I am, evidently, curtsey impaired) and some editing, but we got it. I prompted her a bit and then cut that out so it would fit the time requirement. This is what they expected from the "talent":
1. Say their name. 2. Tell us what they want to be for Halloween. 3. Show us how their Halloween character would act. Ex: -Walk like a mummy -Laugh like a witch. -Dance like a ballerina.
We rehearsed this:
My name is Riley. I want to be Alice for Halloween Then Riley was supposed to curtsey and say "curiouser and curiouser."
It went more or less the way we practiced. You can see Riley's submission here: Boo For You Give the like button a click while you are there. Feel free to check out the other clips, they are some cute ones. If they like Riley's as much as I do they'll air it on TV sometime in October. It's hard to hear, but at the end she's saying, curiouser and curiouser.
Riley and I watched Alice in Wonderland when we were done, in costume, of course. She had a tumble down the rabbit hole.
