about
Drew Taylor & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by comparing Lee Unkrich’s graceful exit from Pixar with John Lasseter’s awkward arrival at Skydance. They then do a deep dive on Warners’ “Space Jam,” tracing the origin of that live-action / animated feature back to Nike’s “Hare Jordan” & “Aerospace Jordan” commercials
lyrics
Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:
Is Darla K. Anderson (i.e., the producer of Pixar’s latest Oscar winner, “Coco”) ’s March 2018 exit from that animation studio somehow connected to Lee Unkrich (i.e., the director of “Coco”)’s decision to step away at the studio?
How Blue Sky Studios & Illuminations’ ability to deliver top earning animated features at a far lower production price point really put pressure on Pixar over the past few year to better contain its own production costs
The genuine craft & truly crazy attention-to-detail that the team at Walt Disney Animation Studios applied to “A Place Called Slaughter Race,” Vanellope von Schwweetz’s “I Want” song parody from “Ralph Breaks the Internet”
How Mel Blanc’s death in July in 1989 screwed up Oldsmobile’s plan to capitalize on the success of 1988’s “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” with their “This is not your Dad’s Oldsmobile” promotional campaign
Since the “Space Jam” follow-up that Warner Bros. had originally envisioned was allegedly tripped up by the fact that Michael Jordan hadn’t actually signed to do a sequel, studio execs then reportedly reimagined “Space Jam 2” as a starring vehicle for Tiger Woods
