Mousetalgia Episode 567: Disney D23 Expo part 1, Merritt and Docter on Davis
Disney+ unleashed! Star Wars “hotel” announced! Movie news, parks news, and so much more was introduced or explained at the 2019 D23 Expo, and Mousetalgia hosts Jeff and Dave cover part one of our exclusive coverage of the huge biannual Disney fan event. We break down some of our favorite news items and talk about topics including Disney+; “One Day at Disney,”, a new documentary series; Avengers Campus, coming soon to DCA; Galaxy’s Edge news – and much more. Plus, we discuss the archives exhibit of Disney costumes, and break down some of the Haunted Mansion panels that filled the Expo. As a special treat, we were able to sit down with Imagineer Chris Merritt and Pixar COO Pete Docter to speak about their new set of books titled “Marc Davis In His Own Words: Imagineering the Disney Theme Parks,” and we get even more insight into the artist Walt Disney called his “renaissance man,” Marc Davis. Listen to this week’s episode for your chance to win a signed copy of the 2 volume set! And stay tuned – next week we will cover the show floor, the shopping, celebrity encounters – and more!
