This is the second part of our conversation with the director, best known for his work directing Disney’s Tangled. In discussing the massive six-year creative evolution, we discovered that the film originally looked vastly different.

In Ioana Mischie’s film Catane, twin girls weave their long red hair together into a single braid and squeeze themselves into one sweater to make it appear they are conjoined. Why would they do such a thing? Well, it’s all part of a larger “conspiracy.” It seems the Romanian mountain village where they live has been pulling off a bit of a scheme.

This was a moment when Hollywood leaned harder into spectacle, pairing practical effects with emerging CGI and delivering stories that felt bigger, louder, and more immersive than what audiences had seen before. At the same time, filmmakers were still grounded enough to let character and tension carry these films beyond just their visual appeal. The result was a lineup that feels surprisingly balanced even today. You had high-stakes action, thoughtful sci-fi, emotional fantasy, and grounded drama all hitting theaters within weeks of each other. Thirty years…
