But once I saw how excited the new generation of kids were, it reminded me of myself when we created the original films," China Anne McClain said. "Everything came together beautifully. There's one scene that is very special to me, I'm sure the audience will be able to guess which one it is once they see the movie. Stepping back into Uma was very fulfilling, and healing for me."
