Also, there is an audio interview with director Patrick Coyle about the film on the Lori and Julia Show, on FM 107.1 Minneapolis/St. Paul. When you get to the site, to to the "What you missed" section and click on the left arrow next to the date, to get to April 22, when Coyle's interview aired. Coyle does not appear till about the last third of the file, and it's the "first hour" file that you need to be on. The hosts talk about Earth Day, Disney films and gossip before Coyle comes on. There is an option to download the file, and I did download it, but I have no idea what folder/disk it went to.
