Disney fans rejoice! I have Kathleen Gavin joining me to discuss her first producing job with Disney on the animated feature “Oliver & Company”. Kathleen enjoyed a twenty-year career with Disney as she hopped around to numerous divisions while literally being a big part of saving Disney animation as it was actively on the chopping block. Kathleen was brought in to streamline the animation process and to make the process repeatable for years to come. Decades of animated films later, it seems Kathleen succeeded in her mission. And that was with zero prior experience in the world of animation. Listen as we discuss the making of the film and the historic significance of this movie you might not initially think of when pondering “Oliver & Company”. That and so much more is coming your way on this episode of Dizney Coast to Coast.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode we’re discussing the infamous Magic Kingdom attraction, ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, and a live show in Los Angeles paying tribute to this theme park attraction in an extreme way. Joining me to discuss are the creators of the live show “Alien Encounter”, Adam Franklin and Amit Itelman. I was blown away by the insanity of it all as I was being drenched in alien mucus and blood in a live show unlike anything I'd ever experienced. It was absolutely clear to me from the moment the show began that the folks involved are big fans and have great respect for the Disney parks. Enjoy my conversation with the creators of “Alien Encounter” while we discuss the development of their live show and the original Disney attraction it’s based on. That and so much more is coming your way on this episode of Dizney Coast to Coast.

Disney fans rejoice! Welcome to the season 11 finale of Dizney Coast to Coast. Today on the show I chat with Brian Sandahl who worked as an Art Director for Disney Live Entertainment for over 20 years at the Disneyland Resort. During his time, he worked on holiday attraction overlays including It’s a Small World Holiday, Haunted Mansion Holiday and Jingle Cruise. Plus, he worked on A Christmas Fantasy Parade for a number of years, even designing new floats for the annual Christmas parade. Hear how the folks at Disney Live Entertainment, not Walt Disney Imagineering, bring these holiday overlays to the parks, the challenges they bring, and how they get developed in the first place. That and so much more is coming your way on this holiday episode of Dizney Coast to Coast.
