My mother took me to Disney World when I was a kid, and it was the first thing we rode.
I remember being sophisticated enough to understand that it was a trick — that I wasn’t really being followed around by a hitchhiking ghost.
It felt to me that there was a physicality and a realness to this world, even though it was fantastical.
New Orleans [where the ride and movie are set] is a Black city.
It just wasn’t a movie I was interested in making any other way.
