Sounds like something to watch, but without the wife (she truly hated Wizards).
BTW, fun fact: you know the studio behind (most?) of those movies, Topcraft Studio? They would later break up and form two new studios. The first made a little cartoon you may have heard of (Thundercats), while the second became an even more famous animation studio ... Studio Ghibli [You must be logged in to view images.

Oh man this is a cool conversation.
Here is another cool animation story I saw!
Ghibli studios was trying to make its first film Nausucaa, but they totally ran out of money!
So they put out an advertisement in a manga magazine that said, "calling all artists! we need people to help us finish this film!" (It was well known because Miyazaki made it as a manga first).
The next day some 18 year old kid comes in with his portfolio of drawings, hair messy, clothes all too big. He sat down and they hired him on the spot!
Later, that animator was given a scene to work on, one where a laser hits this giant scarab thing. ( I tried to find it on youtube just now and couldn't )
The laser hits the scarab, then like a second passes, then the scarab EXPLODES!
He showed the shot to the crew and they were blown away! That day, an 18 year old animator, invented the trope that would be used again and again and again in anime: A laser hits a target, a second passes, and
BOOM it explodes.
That 18 year old animator would later grow to create the series Neon Genesis Evangelion.
