The Lion King with Domee Shi

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.

In episode 95 Sam is joined by Domee Shi, writer and director of Pixar's Turning Red, and Bao (which won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film). 

Domee has chosen The Lion King (88 mins). The classic Walt Disney animated feature was released in 1994, directed by Roger Allers & Rob Minkoff, and stars Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Moira Kelly, Ernie Sabella, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Sam and Domee discuss the challenges of making an under 90 minute feature film, the power of the songs in The Lion King and how Timon and Pumba influenced the third act of Turning Red.
