D23 Destination D – Interviews with Jeffrey Epstein & Tim O’Day

This weekend, D23: The Official Disney Fan Club is celebrating the once-in-a-lifetime diamond anniversary of one of the most universally beloved and singularly unique film genres in the world—at DESTINATION D: 75 YEARS OF DISNEY ANIMATED FEATURES, Aug. 11 and 12 at the Disneyland® Resort.

The two-day event will offer a panorama of some of the most celebrated films and characters ever brought to life on screen and provide attendees with an unforgettable Disney experience.

From Walt Disney’s groundbreaking Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to the upcoming Wreck-It Ralph, guests will go on a “behind-the-magic” journey filled with classic cinematic moments of heart-tugging emotion, laughter, and song that have captivated generations the world over. Renowned historians, authors, and animators of today will host this trip through the artistry and imagination of Disney animated features, each day ending with an unforgettable nighttime concert featuring two incomparable Disney Legends.

I had an opportunity to sit down and chat with D23’s Jeffrey Epstein about the event, the future of D23 and much more. Then D23’s  Tim O’Day, who will be moderating many of the panels during this weekend’s event, joins me to discuss the variety of special presentations, what people can expect to see (and hear) and much more!
