We talk predominantly about Moana, but also ackknowledge the passing of Don Iwerks, and Level 99 at Disney Springs. May contain traces of Shiney.
When I catch on the news this morning, someone had passed away.
Iwerks, yeah, which that was kind of cool realising just how ingrained that family is in the whole Disney thing because he is the son of… Ub.
Ub.
It is Ub, isn't it? Yeah.
I'm like going, is it Ub? Because I always want to say Bob for some reason because everyone that works at Disney is a Bob, right? So I was just like, yeah, anyway.
But, yes, so Ub, who is his claim to fame that he created Oswald with Mr. Walt Disney? Yeah.
Okay, cool.
So, yeah, that was interesting.
And then his daughter, so he's got a famous dad, and then his daughter does some stuff as well, some directing I believe.
Yes.
She is Leslie Iwerks and she is a documentary filmmaker, Academy Award and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker, and she did Disneyland Handcrafted, a feature-length documentary about the creation of the Californian theme park.
It's interesting but sad that he passed away.
