Ep. 737: Live action Snow White review, Brenda Chapman talk
This week, Tina and Julia from the Pal Around Podcast join Jeff to talk about the new Snow White live action film starring Rachel Zegler. Jeff caught an early screening and discusses this much-debated release from the Walt Disney Company. We talk about the music – old and new, the changes from the original animated classic to create a new story, those animated dwarfs, and the new film’s possible impact on the public perception of Disney remakes. Then, Julia and Tina talk about “Directing at Disney: In Conversation with Director Brenda Chapman and Historian Mindy Johnson” at the Walt Disney Family Museum. Brenda opened up about her career in animation, both for Disney and outside of the company, and shared stories about her collaborations, her history in the industry, and creating and co-directing Brave for Pixar.
