We also discuss the major scene that had to be reanimated after the 9/11 attacks, the attention to detail in animating the hula sequence and how Walt Disney World tourists ended up in the film.

In this episode Katie and I travel to quadrant 17, sector 005, area 51 to a planet called E-arth to do a deep dive into the Walt Disney Animation feature film Lilo and Stitch. We discuss the history of the film from initial idea to the exact location at Walt Disney World where it was given the green light over, of all things, sushi. We dig into the unique art style that was used and who the background painters called in for help, plus we analyze our favorite characters and the role the theme of ohana played in driving the story.

I sit down with Disney College Program alumni, author and WDW Opinion podcast host Conor Brown to talk about his two distinctly different Disney College Program roles and what, or rather who, inspired him to work for the Walt Disney Company. We talk guest stories, how he ended up on a backstage tour of the Haunted Mansion, and his best advice to anyone preparing for their own college program. This is part 1 of a two part episode.
