After starring in her very own major motion picture, Annabel has been receiving interview requests left and right, from as far away as China. Though she initially wanted to stay away from the harsh lights of the press, Annabel eventually relented and sat down with Billy McCheesy of Entertainment Today for an in-depth interview.
if you can’t see the video above, click here.
She did great, but for her next interview I’ll insist on Oprah.

Elise says:
I’m smiling ear to ear!! That was so great!!

Kirsten says:
Annabel is so talented! AWESOME interview…
Missy says:
You are too funny! Thanks for the Friday laugh…
Katrina says:
The Bampa part? My favorite.
And Mike’s voice sounds like he seriously could do that for a living, or be on the radio or something. I have no idea…maybe that’s what he does and I just don’t know it.
Annabel, as always, is just too adorable.
I love Fridays!!!!

Are you at all concerned about how well Mike played the cheesy guy? Seriously, I think he missed his calling. And Annabel was as cute as ever… can’t wait to see more of her films!
Beth says:

Billy McCheezy was AWESOME… seriously, Mike could be a TV host. He nailed it! Of course, Annabel and Rigby did, too! =)

Kendra says:
Funny, but clearly you have too much time on your hands. Borrow my kids so I can have time???

i also must add….i really like the artwork on the wall in the video…
sincerely, bronwyn

Savannah says:
You guys are so funny! Annabel is going to love viewing these video’s when she’s older. Sure, she may be mortified as a teen (a plus!), but when she gets past those awkward years, this is going to be such a gem.
She might also carry on the tradition with her own children on day. =)

MM says:
Whoa, I think I may email each week to see if Mike has had success getting his own TV show to host. Never seen anyone so natural!
Annie truly shines, but you have to be careful with those child stars. Strict discipline now will prevent problems down the line!
Jane says:
HILARIOUS! Mike, you have a future in talk show hosting. Spot on!
