ComicBook.com also spoke with Sean Jenkins, who served as Head of Environments on Strange World and also worked on Bolt, Tangled, Moana, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen II, and more in various roles. During the interview, we asked Jenkins about his history with Disney Animation. Jenkins added,"It is cool to have a studio with a rich history and a lot of people who've been here for a long time to be able to pull from it. So you're really supported as you then try to build a world from scratch."
"I think what I love about being a part of this studio and why I've stayed here for so many years is I love the legacy," Smeed explained."I love the stories that we tell. It feels like they're stories that last forever. So, I mean, for me, that's why even if I am not connecting with a specific idea on something, I always connect with the characters."
