“When I first read through the script in my
head, it was in the voice of Travis Tritt,”
said director Logan Sekulow. “I grew up
listening to him and I’m a big fan. This
role needed someone who could be warm and that
the audience could trust. I was thrilled when I
heard that he wanted to do it. As a director, it
is great to see the vision you have play out on
film exactly how it did in your head.”
In addition, Tritt has written a song for the
movie, titled “That’s What Dreamers
Do.”
Disney animator Tom Bancroft, who is credited for
creating young Simba in the Lion King, Mushu in
Mulan, Pocahontas, Iago in Aladdin and worked on
countless other Disney pictures, has signed on to
create character drawings for the opening credit
sequence for the forthcoming film.
Joining Tritt in the cast are: YouTube star, Olan
Rogers, who will play Walt Disney; Tyler Hayes
(Musician and speaker) who will play Walt’s
mother, Flora; and Mark Stuart (Christian rock
musician) who will play Walt’s dad, Elias.
