Disney animator Mark Henn is one of the best animators in the world. At the time I was an intern, he was animating young Simba for the Lion King. He animated Jasmin in Aladdin and I remember him saying he used one of his sisters signature laser beam looks for one of the scenes.
Anyway Mark was also an avid Civil War re-enactor and he came into the studio in his Union uniform to pose for one of the late night painting sessions. Mark was just recently made a Disney Legend.
In the morning Imagineering gave a presentation about their plans for a new theme park which will recreate a jungle safari. Tomorrow land in Walt Disney World was getting a complete face lift as well. One attraction int the works was called Alien Encounter and it involved a transporter experiment that goes horribly wrong. a 10 foot alien is unleashed and scurries among the audience. The alien was to be part scorpion and part spider. Each audience member at some point would feel the alien breath n their neck. I do believe that after we finished Lilo and stitch many years later it would be Stitch who would cause havoc in the attraction.
