This was a picture that was bound to happen, Larry the Cable Guy (aka actor Dan Whitney) and the animated personality he voices Tow Mater, together in the new Disney California Adventure Cars Land. I love these guys, but my eyes are drawn to the… Read More »Larry The Cable Guy at Cars Land and the Cozy Cone Motel
There are so many construction projects going on at the Magic Kingdom that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Big Thunder just came out of rehab, while Main Street’s facade work is ongoing (rumored to be coming down any day now). But today… Read More »New Fantasyland and Magic Kingdom Photo Update

On my recent visit to Pixar Studios I had the great pleasure of interviewing Katherine Sarafian, the producer of the highly anticipated film Brave. She shared some nuggets (seems like there should be a McNuggets joke in there somewhere) about working at Pixar and the story behind Brave, which, in case I haven’t made it clear, looks awesome.
On her career with Pixar:
Well, it has been a long road, but I think that Pixar is one of those places where you can work on lots of different films and have a different career on each film, so I try. On each film I grew into a new role. I started sort of entry level, at the bottom, and moved up. By the time I was on “A Bug’s Life” I was a first-time manager, and once I learned that I could manage people, and really enjoyed doing that, then there was a progression into marketing for a while.
… Pixar is very much about how you recover from your errors. Because I, you know, we, learned on the job. A lot of us did here.
