TJ Holmes asked her about missing being on set, saying that they'd seen her in film since she was a kid, referencing that the 1998 film turns 25 next year.

"That movie means everything to me. It was the first movie I'd ever auditioned for and it was the first experience I ever had being a young adult on a set. 

"It's so nostalgic for me," she gushed, immediately leaving the studio in hysterics when she bashfully added: "I don't know the last time I've seen it, I think it's been a while."

The Disney film marked her debut in the movie industry and has since become a cult classic thanks to performances from Dennis Quaid, Elaine Hendrix, Lisa Ann Walter, and the late Natasha Richardson.

It was a remake of the 1961 movie of the same name that saw Lindsay play a challenging dual role when she was only 12.
