From Disney Magazine Fall 2000 "A Day (or Two) in the Life of Don Hahn": "In a room lined with storyboards from "Fantasia/2000" (on which Hahn directed the host sequences) , Hahn, (Roy E.) Disney, and other principals discuss bonus footage that will be included in the DVD format. Like the producers' meeting this morning, the proceedings are hush-hush."
