Disney Worldbuilders Debuts on Disney Alongside New Competition Shows and Boeing Critique
The latest Disney documentary 'Disney Worldbuilders' has been released on the streaming platform. The film features interviews with Disney storytellers, including James Cameron and Jennifer Lee, as well as Mt. Lebanon native Dave Filoni, who is now co-head of Lucasfilm's 'Star Wars' division.
Filoni discusses how 'Star Wars' was relatable because audiences could identify with Luke Skywalker as a kid from a small place who dreams of the larger galaxy beyond his home under two suns. He also talks about carrying on George Lucas' legacy and working with Jon Favreau on Disney series 'The Mandalorian.'
In other TV news, HGTV has released a new competition show called 'Totally '90s House,' where stars from the 1990s compete to renovate two homes while preserving their nostalgic charm. The winning team gets $25,000 to donate to their chosen charity.
A Netflix documentary series called 'Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing' explores the last 20 years of calamities stemming from the country's top airplane manufacturer - including 737 MAX crashes and a plane door blowout. The film argues that Boeing prioritized profits over quality and safety.
