Mindy Kaling agreed to voice a character in Pixar's latest film based on nothing more than an illustration. But she didn't even need that.
"They literally could have shown me nothing," said Kaling, who plays a green, fluttery-lashed girl named Disgust in the new film "Inside Out." She heard the word "Pixar," and she was in.
The sitcom she created and stars in, "The Mindy Project," was dropped by Fox last month and quickly picked up by Hulu. With twice the episodes of a typical network season, Kaling said her team plans to experiment with "new, creative storytelling techniques."
"It gives you a little more room," she said, especially since the episodes will be released weekly, rather than all at once as some streaming services do.
When it comes to content, though, Kaling is keeping her audience in mind: "The Mindy Project" won't be racier just because it's moving online.??
