Yesterday at the D23 Expo, John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation, announced a pretty unusual contest – John of the Jungle.*Buy Disneyland toys at eBay.
Lasseter is known for bringing some of this generation’s most loved characters to life – Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Lightning McQueen, Mater, but few people know that he started out as a Jungle Cruise skipper right here at Disneyland park. He left this role with a love of Disney, storytelling and jungle lore, but without any photos of himself at the helm.
Now he’s out to fix that with John of the Jungle, a search for photos of him from his Jungle Cruise skipper days in 1977. Think you might have a shot of John in an old family vacation album? If you do, you could win a trip to the grand opening of Cars Land and a private Jungle Cruise with John Lasseter!

As a former WDW JC skipper who *also* has no personal photos from that time, I've often thought of asking my readers the same thing. Since I was there in '98, I'm guessing my chances would have to be a little better than John's, right?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the exact same thing about you when I wrote this.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of this contest. It's so different than the typical 'enter your email to enter the sweepstakes' contest.
