In The Seats With...John Hoffman and 'Luca'

It takes a village... On this episode we dive into the imagination factory of creation that is Disney and specifically Pixar films as their new film 'Luca' is hitting the Disney+ streaming service this coming Friday June 18th.

Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface. Yet another family friendly romp from our friends at Pixar that seemingly employee enough people to population a small nation. We got the distinct pleasure to get some in sight into one of the many jobs on an animated feature as we talk with Canada's own John Hoffman who served as Story Supervisor here on 'Luca'. We learned what the job of a 'Story Supervisor' actually entails, what got him into this business and the importance of telling stories as grandly as you possibly can, no matter the size of the screen you're using to watch it...
