Pete (in the Mickey Mouse short “Get a Horse!” that will be shown before “Frozen”). How does your faith play into your work, into character development and storytelling? It’s a global impact as well as day-to-day and scene-to-scene. I’m very blessed. … This has been my boyhood dream to be a Disney animator. I’ve seen a lot of change and a lot of ups and downs. I was almost fired at one point. God has been incredibly gracious to allow me to be here, and I feel like this is where I’m supposed to be. In the minutiae—it’s those daily struggles—you’re fighting a scene, the same things everyone deals with. He’s gotten me through
many a tough day and tough scene and tough production schedule. It’s nice to work for a company—we’re not a church organization or a faith-based organization—but the basic values we want to put across in our films are right in line with my faith. I noticed “Frozen” had themes about self-sacrifice and the importance of family. Parents need to do a little work and glean out those things and talk about them with their kids. (The themes) are there. The parents have the responsibility to look for them. ■ Emily Belz writes for World News Service.
