Last night was pure magic. Talking to Disney animation legends Ron Clements and John Musker about the making of THE LITTLE MERMAID was a delight. These artists made several movies that mean so much to me. Thank you to @egyptianla.bsky.social and @lafilmcritics.bsky.social for making it happen!

Your fave Christmas movie has an angel coming to Earth to show a guy how bad the world would be without him; my fave has angel Cary Grant coming to Earth to make a cuckold out of a clergyman. We are not the same.
