John Musker day at WDFM 8/5

I've been so very fortunate to spend time with John Musker at various events over the years and cannot recommend the experience enough. He is fascinating, unbelievably funny and ridiculously talented. With his co-writing/directing partner Ron Clements at Disney he's brought us 'The Great Mouse Detective', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Aladdin', 'Hercules', 'Treasure Planet', 'The Princess and the Frog' and are said to be developing yet another hand-drawn feature for Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Spend an entire day with veteran Disney director/writer John Musker, as he screens his own works and teaches animation classes exclusively at the museum. It’s time to find your inner Walt – on the big screen of our state-of-the-art digital theater or in one of our many fun-filled classes!
