Even though they’re not kids anymore, Carell said it didn’t take much convincing for Elisabeth and John to come to the premiere of the children’s movie.
“I put it out to them like, ‘Well, the premiere is this week, do you want to go?’ And they were all over it, like not even a hesitation,” the actor continued. “I think it’s nostalgic at this point. They love the characters and they love the franchise. It’s been a big part of our family.”
