"I wanted to be a part of the Disney history"
About this Quote
The intent is aspirational and strategic. For an actor, especially one whose career has moved between breakout moments and the industry’s fickle attention, Disney offers a rare promise: permanence. The subtext is about legitimacy in a business that constantly resets the clock. Being “part of Disney history” means becoming recognizable to multiple generations, securing a kind of soft immortality that awards and box office don’t always guarantee.
Context matters, too. Carrere is closely associated with family-facing, legacy-friendly work like voicing Nani in Lilo & Stitch, a film that became a modern Disney touchstone precisely because it widened the brand’s emotional palette and representation. Her phrasing nods to that machine: Disney history isn’t written by critics, it’s written by repetition. She’s naming the real prize: not fame, but reruns as destiny.
