I was provided an all expense paid trip by Disney to Los Angeles. All opinions are my own.
One of the fun things I got to see in Los Angles a few weeks ago was a behind the scenes look at Disney ToonStudios, where I was able to meet and talk with Planes Director Klay Hall and Producer Traci Balthazor-Flynn. This was a fascinating way to hear about all the planning that goes into making a motion picture! Both were very enthusiastic about their jobs and proud of the movie that they made.
Hall grew up in an aviation family, with a father who flew Naval aircraft in World War II and a grandfather who was a pilot. So his two great loves growing up were airplanes and drawing, and with the Planes movie he was able to combine them!
