It’s not just a compliment, it’s a fact: Bob Gurr is a bona fide Disney Legend and at age 93 he shows little sign of slowing down. With a background in automobile design, Walt Disney sought him out in 1954 and immediately put him to work. For the next twenty years he had a hand in almost every major attraction in Disneyland, beginning with Autopia. He then opened his own shop and worked for theme parks around the globe. Jessie has vivid memories of the 30-foot King Kong he built for Universal. She and Leonard were delighted to spend an hour with such an inspiring man.

If you’re wondering why we’ve been revisiting so many programs instead of posting new interviews, there is a reason: Leonard did himself one heck of a mischief. But now he’s back, and he and Jessie thought it was a good time to take stock of what’s been going on in the worlds of movies and television.  That’s the purpose of this catch-up episode and we hope you enjoy it. The occasional howling of our two dogs are included at no additional charge.
