- Their Directorial Debut… At Epcot. Surprisingly Walt Disney Imagineering doesn’t often collaborate with Walt Disney Animation Studios. For the Epcot attraction Cranium Command, WDI outsourced the pre-show animation to another studio and was very unhappy with the result.
- They Felt Thrown into the Deep End on Beauty and the Beast. While developing a project called “Goofy of the Apes,” described as “Goofy as Tarzan,” Kirk and Gary received a call asking if they could drop what they were doing and fly to New York to take over directorial duties on Beauty and the Beast, which was being retooled after over a year in development with another director.
- Howard Ashman Changed Disney Animation. “If you had to point to one person responsible for the Disney renaissance, I would say it was Howard,” Kirk Wise shared when talking about the late lyricist who worked with them on Beauty and the Beast.
