Episode 188: Producer/Director Ted Thomas - Disney Fest 2024 Part 2

Producer and Director Ted Thomas is back on the show to talk about his beloved documentary "Frank and Ollie" which is now streaming on Disney+. It's the story of Ted's father Frank Thomas and fellow animator Ollie Johnston. We'll discuss some of their amazing accomplishments at the Walt Disney Studio. They were there from the 1930s into the 1980s. We'll also talk about their inspirational friendship and Ted shares what it was like producing a documentary about family. In our Disney Views we cover our favorite Disney collections. A perfect topic for animation art collector Steve Spain who's back with us as well. We caught up with Ted at Disney Fest 2024 held at the Peoria Riverfront Museum in Peoria, Il. Learn more about the Peoria Riverfront Museum and all it has to offer at peoriariverfrontmuseum.org.
