You may even have had a <em>Little Mermaid-<\/em>themed\u00a0birthday party. Meme culture nowadays is heavily influenced by films like<em> Bee Movie, Flushed Away, Shark Tales,<\/em> and <em>Megamind<\/em>. The man behind it all, executive producer and Disney Chairman for these films, <strong>Jeffrey Katzenberg<\/strong>, joined Dodge College for a screening of one of his Producing credits <em>Shrek<\/em> and a Q&amp;A.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most important things Katzenberg took away from Disney was that they made movies for both children and the inner child in everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It makes sense. That is why adults still love watching silly films like <em>The Lion King<\/em> and <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> &#8211; because it brings us back to our childhood, to a time when nothing was more important than the talking lions and singing mermaids on screen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Katzenberg created Dreamworks Animation, he knew he wanted to do something parallel, something that carried the same message but made his company unique. He decided that he needed to make movies for both adults and the inner adult within every child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master Class Series &#8211; November 17, 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4419,"featured_media":19348,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,14,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-guests","category-screenings"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
