E219 Mike Disa is an animator, writer and director and has animated some of the biggest Disney movies on the planet, including Tarzan, Mulan, Hercules, and Pocahontas. He was raised in a violent neighborhood in Chicago and by the time he made it to adulthood (a feat in itself) he’d already been “a thief, a smuggler, a thug and a gangster.” He lost friends and found himself on the wrong end of a few fights. He has worked and learned from Ralph Bakshi, Glenn Vilppu, and Steven Spielberg and has directed six feature films and created hundreds of hours of television, including the wildly popular Wacky Races and Rob Zombie’s The Haunted World of El Superbeasto. We discuss art, commerce, God, philosophy, crime, education and his recent endeavor as writer/director of the serial podcast experience, Sentinels: Point of No Return.
