This week, Abby is joined by New York-based actor, writer, and director Regina Renée Russell to follow their hearts through the 1994 Don Bluth classic, Thumbelina. The following interview includes but is not limited to discussions of stranger danger, Broadway legends, the distressing effects of perpetual damselment, and how fairy tales can indeed be feminist (but...not this one).
