The Pixar Podcast

The influence of the Walt Disney company on Mormonism is real -- and the reverse is also true, with Mormons having played significant roles at the company going back to its very beginning.  What is it about Disney culture that makes it so compatible with Mormon culture? Or is it the other way around? And is that a golden Moroni on top of Cinderella's castle? Turns out, taking a close look at the relationship between Disney and Mormonism offers an opportunity to understand each one in deeper ways.

Mosaic is a new podcast from Derrick Clements. Listen to the trailer to get a sense of what the show is all about.

Derrick is joined by Davey Morrison Dillard, Bianca Morrison Dillard and Robbie Pierce to dive deep into "Coco." But first, Derrick discusses allegations against John Lasseter and explains why this will be the last episode of The Pixar Podcast.

A review of "Coco" and a special announcement.

Conor Hilton joins the podcast to help review the new Pixar film, "Cars 3."

In this episode, we'll hear a presentation about finding the story for

"Cars 3" with writers Mike Rich, Bob Peterson and Kiel Murray and story

supervisor Scott Morse. They'll discuss, among other things, social

barrier-breaking real racers who inspired the story, the background of Cruz

Ramirez, and how the team dug into the audio archives for Paul Newman and

Tom Magliozzi.

In this episode, I share my reaction to the footage of "Cars 3" that I saw

a couple weeks ago, and we dive into the film with director Brian Fee,

producer Kevin Reher and co-producer Andrea Warren.

In this episode, I chat with Pixar artists Alan Barillaro & Marc Sondheimer

("Piper") and Andrew Coats & Lou Hamou-Lhadj ("Borrowed Time"). Both pairs

are up for the Best Animated Short Oscar on Sunday.

In this episode, I speak with Pixar veteran Sharon Calahan about place, her

long career at Pixar and creating the "painterly realism" of "The Good

Dinosaur."

In this episode, I meet up with some Pixar-adjacent folks at the 2017

Sundance Film Festival.
