The Animation Renaissance Part 2 with Disney veteran Dominick Domingo

Join Language of the Soul host Dominick Domingo and his former student Janna Van Vliet from Amsterdam as they reminisce about the ‘Animation Renaissance.’ We break format in this special 2-part series by giving Janna the opportunity to pick Dominick’s brain for the benefit of listeners—about everything from the lore surrounding this unique pop culture moment to nostalgic, first-hand anecdotes from the trenches of production on Lion King, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan, Little Match Girl and One By One. We find ourselves discussing historical controversies surrounding the Disney brand as well as problematic tropes that, when perpetuated, limit potential and capacity. Dominick offers a fresh perspective on mainstream misapprehensions, the mechanics of story-as-social evolution and the true metaphysical meaning behind many of the universal parables Disney has brought to life.  www.dominickdomingo.com

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
