Back in Fall 2020, John Debney joined Notably Disney for the first time, and he returns again! The Emmy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated composer possesses a prolific catalogue of film projects that he has contributed to the company, from Hocus Pocus and The Princess Diaries, to Inspector Gadget and 2016’s The Jungle Book. Although he and host Brett Nachman discussed some of John’s film-based efforts on that episode, they did not fully explore his equally important efforts within the Disney theme parks. Today on Notably Disney, Brett welcomes John back to share more about his work for the company, including compositions for attractions including Phantom Manor and it’s a small world at Disneyland Paris, among others. He also shares the thrills of composing the music for Hocus Pocus 2, the sequel to the beloved 1993 film, celebrating it's 30th anniversary.
