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.
In this episode, I share my reaction to the footage of "Cars 3" that I saw a couple weeks ago, and we dive into the film with director Brian Fee, producer Kevin Reher and co-producer Andrea Warren.
