Ep. 141 – An Interview with the Directors of Encanto
Manage episode 318122019 series 2417594
“Our research on this film started with our own families, thinking about where we came from…”
We are so grateful this week to have a chance to speak with the filmmakers behind Disney’s 60th animated feature, Encanto. Since arriving in theaters in November and on Disney+ in December, this movie has really struck a cord with audiences of all backgrounds. Directors Jared Bush and Bryon Howard bring us their second film together, having co-directed the Academy Award winning film Zootopia. They are joined on this film by Co-director Charise Castro Smith, who tells us a wonderful story about how she came to be involved with the film. In addition to directing the film, this team of three were also responsible for writing as well, we dive into the creative choices they were able to make throughout the five year process of bringing Encanto to life.
FEATURING: Craig McFarland, Brett Rutherford and Vanessa Ferguson
