Remembering Roy Disney - Dave Bossert talks about his just-published biography

Dave Bossert, Producer, Creative Director and Head of Special Projects at Walt Disney Animation Studios, has just published a new book on Roy E. Disney, nephew of Walt and for decades a champion of animation at the Disney Studio. Roy is widely regarded as the man who saved the animation division at Disney from closure, following the box office disaster of Black Cauldron and the Eisner/Katzenberg takeover in the 1980s. We asked Dave to tell us about his new book.

From the Disney Vault - A Screening of Rarities

From Disney Studios' Dave Bossert:

"Don Hahn and I will be doing another evening of Disney Rarities at the Newport Beach Film Festival this Wednesday, May 2, 2012.  This is our 5th year doing the festival and we have put together a great show with some rarely seen Disney bits.  If you are around Newport Beach on Wednesday, drop by for a fun screening at the Lido Theater, at 7:30."

Dave, Don, and Roy Disney screened my short "Redux Riding Hood" back in '07 - the first screening in nearly ten years.  This may be your only chance to see these films on the big screen.  If you're in Southern California, don't miss it!  - Steve
