So it was one of those rare times when you have to make a change of director. We've had to do it with Toy Story Two, with Ratatouille and now with Bolt. Anyway, I brought in Chris Williamson and Byron Howard and they restarted the film to the story that you now see. It's completely different. ---------------------------------------- So the Studios' publicity machine couldn't even spell Chris Sanders' name correctly?

See what I mean? You like that?
