Transcript
00:00What would you say is the one character or story that you feel best benefited the lengthy production time or the long trail it took to get here?
00:09It's not a character as much as it is the West was not a land in Disneyland.
00:15It was 300 years to try to, you know, people were making their way out there.
00:20And I'm talking about from sea to shining sea.
00:23The West we're looking at was, you know, that people were out there for 40 or 50 years engaging with an indigenous population.
00:32And it was a struggle.
00:35No one wanted to give it up.
00:36Why should they?
00:38And the white people wouldn't stop coming.
00:41So it was a recipe for disaster.
00:44And so I think it's not so much what character gives at length.

01:24Then ultimately in America, at least for the Native Americans, there was a tipping point where they were destroyed.
01:34And some of these towns, if they were set properly, would take hold.
01:39And some of these towns, if they were to go to the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top
