Brad Bird Whips Up a Little "Ratatouille"

It's very much like cooking and trying to make the ingredients balance just right," says Brad Bird. "You take every other art -- composition, design, acting, writing, cartooning, music, and sound -- you're trying to blend them all into one experience."

YOUR QUESTION
I recently went to the Magic Kingdom after being there over 30 years ago. Two rides were no longer there. One was the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the other was the cable car ride. My friend says the Magic Kingdom in Florida never had them, only Disneyland in California, but I'm sure they were there. Who is right?
- Philip, 38, Valhalla, NY

DAVE'S ANSWER
