Greg Manwaring: Roger Rabbit, Simba, Iron Giant — Part 2
2026/10/26 | 1h 51 mins.Episode 313 - Six years in, Skull Rock Podcast is still finding new ways to surprise Disney fans - and this week, part two of animator-director Greg Manwaring’s interview delivers the kind of behind-the-scenes storytelling that keeps you listening. If you love Disney history, animation deep dives, and smart conversations about where the business is headed, this one’s for you. Aljon Go and Dave Bossert celebrate the show’s sixth anniversary, read listener mail about the wildly popular Mike Sedino interviews, and spotlight a stack of new books from Disney artists and authors - including Eric Robson, Ron Clemens, David Lesjack, and Dave’s own upcoming Walt Disney World War II Animation on the Front Lines. Dave also teases a special announcement tied to his new book that longtime listeners will not want to miss. Then the conversation expands into the latest in film, streaming, and pop culture. You’ll hear Dave’s unfiltered takes on everything from Leica’s Wildwood and Pixar’s Hoppers to Runner, Slow Horses, Reacher, Nailgley, and more, plus a blunt verdict on the movies and shows worth your time - and the ones you can skip. Aljon jumps in with thoughts on Carrie, Crystal Lake, and the live-action Moana, giving the episode a sharp, honest, fan-first perspective throughout. We also break down the biggest industry headlines shaping what you watch next: the Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery merger, the future of streaming consolidation, Netflix’s growth slowdown, Disney’s expanding moves across sports and cruise lines, and the curious new crossovers coming from Lucasfilm and the NFL. It’s a wide-ranging look at how entertainment is changing right now - and what that means for fans. Perfect for Disney collectors, animation nerds, streaming obsessives, and anyone who loves candid commentary with real expertise. Subscribe and get ready for part three of the Greg Manwaring deep dive next week.
Manwaring's animation credits include three consensus all-time greats: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The Lion King, and The Iron Giant, plus An American Tail, Fievel Goes West, Ferngully, The Tigger Movie, and the Oscar-nominated The Illusionist.
