Episode 554 – Epcot’s Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along

Bryan RipperPodcast

On this week’s show, I’m joined by Director and Producer Don Hahn to talk about the newest attraction just added to Epcot’s France Pavilion, the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along. This new attraction is very different from the Frozen Sing-Along featured over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Instead of live performers, it is entirely on screen with all new animation and storytelling featuring the songs we all know and love and even a few twists. Don not only worked on the animated and the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, but he also directed and produced this new addition to Epcot.
