Disney fan stunned when Encanto director invites her to Bafta ceremony on live TV

A British schoolgirl, who penned a letter to Disney three years ago when she was just nine asking for a princess to wear glasses, has been invited to the Bafta awards by Encanto director Jared Bush.

Lowri Moore, 12, from Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, made the request having worn glasses all her life, but was disillusioned when she got no response from the entertainment giant. However, Bush had received her letter and kept it, but was unable to tell her that the main character in the film was already going to have glasses.

Speaking to Lowri on BBC Breakfast on Wednesday, Bush said: "I think she knows like she's my hero, I can't imagine being that age and being that brave. I think the biggest thing I'd like to say is, as it turns out, like you mentioned, I may be in the UK this weekend, and I was wondering, Lowri, if you might be interested in maybe joining me and the other film-makers at the Bafta Award ceremony?"
