“It’s so fun… you need a lot of energy to play her (Joy) and you get to make really goofy, big choices. I really like it as you can get lost in the imagination and what it’s going to be and they hand it back to you and it’s better than you can even imagine,” she says.
“I love her little look. I think she’s part muppet, part Peter Pan, this old-fashioned pixie has a lot of Tinkerbell about her, she’ has a roll up your sleeve energy that I love about her and when I saw the first drawing I was blown away.”
