I will take a “Mulligan” disclaimer that the twenty years that have passed since we worked with Howard may have fuzzed my recollections a bit, but my memory is generally pretty good. Our films, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and even Hercules, to a certain extent which I’ll elaborate on later, had the good fortune to have Howard not only writing songs for them, but helping to shape story lines, characters, and even visuals in some cases. Hopefully my answers to the questions you devoted fans of Howard have thoughtfully posed will shed some light on his invaluable part in shaping some of the films Ron and I directed and co-wrote with a number of talented writers. John Musker here, he of the tall, spindly frame and hatchet face, and happy to shed some light on the man who particularly helped Ron Clements and me bring a mermaid to life, and a genie to strut his stuff: the uber-talented, brilliant, and sorely missed Howard Ashman.
