Channing Tatum dishes on his first singing role in Disney's ‘Smallfoot’: "It was terrifying!"

Meaww got to talk with the cast of ‘Smallfoot’ on the blue carpet to tell us all about Disney’s newest star-studded animated film and they told us a lot about the work they put in

This weekend at the premiere of ‘Smallfoot’, Meaww got to speak exclusively to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars as they promoted Disney’s newest animated film.  ‘Smallfoot’ is a heartwarming tale that turns the Bigfoot legend on its head when a bright young yeti stumbles upon something he never knew existed - a human. 

Filled with original music, actor Channing Tatum even got roped into singing a song, something that he has never done in a film before. When asked about his singing in the film, Tatum was still reeling from the experience. “I blocked it out of my consciousness, it was terrifying. They lied to me the whole time and didn’t tell me I was going to be singing. At first they were like, ‘what do you think about singing a line and then the whole village will sing with you?’  And I’m like, ‘maybe I can do that.’ And then time went on and I was listening to the music and said, ‘this feels like a whole song, I’m not gonna do a whole song.’  And then eventually they kind of duped me into it. I’m happy with it, I’m not completely ashamed of it but I’m not gonna become a singer anytime soon.”
