Re: Disney's Mort

It seems Musker has been trying to shop Mort at other studios. [John Musker]’s still hopeful about adapting Mort, from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, the book that he’s kept close throughout his entire career. No one wants to buy the story because they think it’s “too dark”: “It’s even hard for...

Re: Moana (Live-Action)

Musker & Clements aren't involved with the live-action remake. Not really surprising, but I thought they would at least have them consult on the film like they did with Aladdin. Now it’s Moana’s turn to get the live-action treatment. “I hope that they do it well, but we have nothing to do with i...

Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)

John Musker has expressed criticism of the remake. Companies are always like, ‘How do we reduce our risk? They like this, right? We’ll just do it again and sell it to them in a different form.’ Or they think, ‘Well, we could make it better.’ I think there was a question even with The Little Mermaid....

Re: Aladdin Discussion

I knew about the anagram, but not about the expo trip. [John Musker] recalls that on Aladdin, which debuted amid the Gulf War, he had to disguise the name Baghdad with its anagram Agrabah: “Because of the war, we couldn’t even go there to do research. Our big research took place at the Saudi Arabian...

Re: The Little Mermaid Discussion

I didn't know giant Ursula was Katzenberg's idea. Before Ariel packed out theaters, the then-president of Disney, Jeffrey Katzenberg, told her creators that he wasn’t harboring many illusions about her film: “Movies about girls don’t work.” The Little Mermaid, he said, would never best Oliver & ...

Re: Moana

I knew Ron & John weren't satisfied with how Lasseter run things at the studio during his tenure. The wouldn't have left otherwise. [John Musker] prefers Katzenberg’s reign of terror to that which followed: “Moana was a very difficult project. It was our idea, but with Pixar and John Lasseter, o...

Re: Musker & Clements Left Disney

Well said by John, but it will fall on deaf ears. The current creative leadership at the studio is just not talented enough to pull that off.
