One month from its release in 1994, the Swan Princess movie died...until Producer, Seldon O. Young brought it back to life!

Now, 25 years later, the Swan Princess not only lives on, it’s been completely re-mastered and is ready to be enjoyed by a new generation.

A gala event on October 24th marks the re-release of the last hand drawn, 2D animated film to be released in theaters. Seldon Young tells the tale in a discussion with Mark Arnett and Brian Nissen, the screenwriter of The Swan Princess.

The Joker has been lauded and lambasted, but you won’t know whether we’re lauders or lambasters until you’ve listened to this episode. When you’re done, you’ll also know how the Joker begins and ends - and a lot of stuff in between. You’ve been warned.

We also proudly announce our new Sponsor, Steve Young’s Forever Young Foundation. It’s wonderful to be sponsored by a foundation that’s the opposite of the Joker - good people putting real smiles on faces across the globe.

(aka she took a two hour break from feeding and changing twins.)  She dishes on the rules and practices of good writing all on just a few hours of sleep. Impressive. She seemed to enjoy the break even tough she still had two manage a couple of children.
