Ep. 728: Ted Thomas on El Grupo, D23 Fan Event expectations and tips

Mousetalgia! - Your Disneyland Podcast

This week, Ted Thomas speaks with Mousetalgia about his father, animation legend (and one of the "Nine Old Men") Frank Thomas, and shares some insight into Frank's legacy. Ted also talks about his latest project, "Walt and El Grupo in Latin America," a book he co-authored with JB Kaufman and Didier Ghez about the Disney "goodwill" tour and its impact on its participants. Ted, JB and Didier will be offering a panel about the new book at the D23 Fan Event next week. Speaking of which - Jeff also welcome Kristen Carr back to the show to discuss the D23 Ultimate Fan Event coming up August 9-11, and we discuss what we are looking forward to, what we are nervous about, and some tips for those of you lucky enough to be attending the sold out event. (If you aren't going, we tried to keep the conversation interesting for you, too!) Plus - Kristen reports on San Diego Comic Con, we contemplate the impact of Deadpool - and more.
