Alex Mandel has been at Pixar since 2003. Once they discovered he can write songs, he has been able to put those skills to use on shorts and most recently, on Brave.
In this episode, we'll hear a presentation about finding the story for "Cars 3" with writers Mike Rich, Bob Peterson and Kiel Murray and story supervisor Scott Morse. They'll discuss, among other things, social barrier-breaking real racers who inspired the story, the background of Cruz Ramirez, and how the team dug into the audio archives for Paul Newman and Tom Magliozzi.
