The Hollywood stars of Disenchanted said they ‘fell in love’ with Ireland during filming - and told how they ‘made friends forever’ with the locals on set.
The Disney flick, which is a sequel to 2007's Enchanted, was filmed on location in Ireland last year.
Speaking at the premiere in Hollywood this week, star Idina Menzel recalled the time how the Irish production crew "took such good care" of them while filming.

"(Ireland) is beautiful, and our crew were all Irish and that was the best part," she said, according to RTE reports.
"I made friends forever, the hair and makeup people took such good care of us and showed us the country."
Patrick Dempsey, who was spotted travelling the length and breadth of the country on his days off, also recalled his fondness of the country.
"I like the west coast the best and getting out of the cities,” he said.
"We were in lockdown so you could feel that sadness and frustration, then when you get out to the countryside it was a whole different experience, so that was great."
Bridesmaids star Maya Rudolph, who stars in the new sequel, added that she felt "very lucky" for the shoot.
"I loved it, I can’t believe we got so lucky," she said.
"And it wasn’t just that we got to be in a beautiful place, (but) everyone that we worked with… was mostly a local crew and they were pretty much some of the best people I’ve ever worked with."
She added: "It really is a stunning movie… and we got to be in a place that we fell in love with and felt happy in and we were very lucky to be there.”
Fellow stars Amy Adams, James Marsden, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jayma Mays, Gabriella Baldacchino, Oscar Nunez, Kolton Stewart, and Griffin Newman, as well as director Adam Shankman, screenwriter Brigitte Hales, producer Barry Josephson, and composer/songwriter Alan Menken also stepped out for the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre.
More than ten years since Giselle (Adams) and Robert (Dempsey) wed, the film follows them once again as Giselle has grown disillusioned with life in the city.
They move their growing family to the sleepy suburban community of Monroeville in search of a more fairy tale life.
Unfortunately, it isn’t the quick fix she had hoped for. Suburbia has a whole new set of rules and a local queen bee, Malvina Monroe (Rudolph), who makes Giselle feel more out of place than ever.
Frustrated that her happily ever after hasn’t been so easy to find, she turns to the magic of Andalasia for help, accidentally transforming the entire town into a real-life fairy tale and placing her family’s future happiness in jeopardy.
Now, Giselle is in a race against time to reverse the spell and determine what happily ever after truly means to her and her family.
Disenchanted is available for streaming on Disney+ from Friday November 18.
