about

First Drew Taylor shines a spotlight on Apple TV’s “Central Park” and HBO Max’s “Looney Tunes” cartoons. Then Jim Hill talks about how the success of “Toy Story” made Universal Pictures decide to go in a very different direction when it came to that Studio’s very first attempt at creating a feature-length CG film.

lyrics

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

Which veteran Pixar director wrote the initial screenplay for Universal Pictures’ “Curious George” movie

Why was ILM so eager to line up another CG-heavy project to work on before production of “Star Wars -- Episode One: The Phantom Menace” had wrapped

Which two characters on “Fraggle Rock” best exemplified both sides of Jim Henson’s personality

Just how protective / attentive was Nick Park when it came to those plasticine figures he used to make the “Wallace & Gromit” movies

Which of Michael Eisner’s sons almost directed a remake of “Creature from the Black Lagoon” for Universal
