"You don't want to know," he says, smiling just like his uncle does in all the introductory bits to the early Disney films. Roy and his wife, Patty Disney, have come up by train from Cork to attend the special celebratory screening in Dublin's IMAX Centre on Parnell Street. What, they didn't come by jet? "No, we wanted to relax and see the country." Iarnrod Eireann, take a bow.
Mary Black, along with her husband, Joe O'Reilly, daughter Roisin O'Reilly (11) and friend Katie Cruise (11) are all here to enjoy Fantasia 2000. "I'm enjoying a well-earned break," says the singer. Afterwards, Ellen Cunningham (seven), daughter of actor Liam Cunningham and his wife Colette, gives the film 100 out of 100.
