Simien said about the film at the D23 Expo in September,according to Deadline, “For me, there was something about that ride I felt was there in the script. It was funny and full of interesting characters, but with a dark edge to it. I just related to it. It felt I knew how to make it. I love New Orleans and I felt I had a responsibility here to make sure all the little easter eggs are there.”
“I actually used to work at Disneyland,” he added. “I actually used to have hair, and it was the best summer job I ever had. And anytime I wasn’t working on the ride I was supposed to, I’d ride Pirates and my favorite ride, Haunted Mansion.”
