Being a real-life mom to now 5-year-old Rose helpedScarlett Johanssonportray a parent on the big screen twice in 2019.
Its a parents job to protect their kids, Johansson told EW and PEOPLE at TIFF.

I think Im basically keeping him alive that way.
Ive never had a child in [a] film before.
Being a parent myself was just invaluably helpful to me.
I had empathy for Rosies plate that I may not have had insight on otherwise.
She was just a joy to play.
Shes a warm, lovable character that felt really comfy to me.
And I wanted that to come across, that shes just comfortable and kind of sugary and warm.
The Disney title is set to hit theaters on Oct. 18.
