Encanto: Director invites glasses ‘hero’ Lowri to Bafta film awards

The director of the Disney hit Encanto, Jared Bush, has invited a schoolgirl, who wrote a letter to Disney to create a character with glasses, to appear with him at the Bafta film awards.

Lowri previously said it was “crazy” that someone at Disney saw her letter and agreed.

The stunned 12-year-old struggled to speak after receiving the invitation and nodded vigorously before BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay stepped in and said: “I think that’s a yes.”

The awards ceremony will take place at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Sunday.
