J On The Spectrum - Disney's 100th Anniversary - Diving Into The Digital Waters GUEST Gary Trousdale

Film: The Rescuers Down Under (1990)
Directed by Hendel Butoy and Mike Gabriel

Me, plus one of the film's story artists, Gary Trousdale, lay down the story of how Disney ended up making Hollywood's first ever all-digital movie. The Rescuers is an odd choice for a sequel, but Gary simply rolled with the punches. Meanwhile, Disney paid $10 million for a computer system from a company that would become important later on in our story: Pixar. Digital would aspire Disney to shoot for the stars, even shoot for the gold.
