I hadn’t read that interview before, but it’s bizarre to think the producer I know would lie in such a slanderous way about what happened. They were my mentor for a few years and always wonderful about answering my questions about their days at Disney.

That is not the reason why Kimberly was dropped. Disney agreed to give her a producer credit and it went to her head. She was fired after demanding the script be rewritten. (This is information I learned from one of the Halloweentown producers that I know)

I know one of the producers of the Halloweentown movies and Kimberly has nobody to blame but herself for the recast. Disney agreed to give her a producer credit and it all went to her head. She became an absolute nightmare to deal with and was warned a few times to knock it off, and was ultimately let go after demanding massive script rewrites. I was utterly shocked when I learned all of this, and I’m so bummed she couldn’t reel it in to complete the series.
