Chums, talk to producers. They have great stories. For this latest episode of Film Stories, Pixar’s Mary Alice Drumm joins me for a long chat about her new film, Elio, and also a long chat about her career.

We go from Warner Bros Animation – Quest For Camelot, The Iron Giant! – through to Cinderella II, Curious George and a whole lot more. And then she lands at Pixar, and the story takes further turns.

Elio is in UK cinemas on 20th June 2025.
