about

Len Testa & Jim Hill start off Episode 218 by discussing the mysterious construction that’s going on at Disney’s Animal Kingdom out behind Pandora – The World of Avatar. Jim then talks about “The Ride of a Lifetime,” Bob Iger’s soon-to-be-released memoir (which will hit store shelves on September 10th)

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

How Bob Iger – a full six months ahead of when he officially became CEO of the Walt Disney Company in October of 2005 – discreetly reached out to Steve Jobs to see if the Pixar dead could be salvaged

Why the Imagineers want to wait ‘til the Late Winter / Early Spring of 2022 (i.e., after “Avatar 2” has been released to the theater in December 2021) before they then discuss how Disney’s Animal Kingdom should go about expanding Pandora – The World of Avatar

Why the more photogenic side of “Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge” will be orientated out towards Bay Lake, rather than facing into Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground

Why Michael Eisner ordered Pixar Animation Studios to put “Cars” in production in the early 2000s, rather than a sequel to 1999’s top-grossing “Toy Story 2”

How the November 1972 debut of HBO made Bob Iger comfortable with the concept that the only constant – at least as far as the media landscape is concerned – is change
