Original Air Date December 14, 2021 Saul Blinkoff shares his story of how he made his dream of becoming a Disney animator a reality. From an early age, Saul had clarity on his dream. When he was young, Saul’s mom took him to Disney to find out how to become a disney animator, and it was there that he found the first steps of the recipe to create his dream of becoming a Disney animator. Testing out the process, Saul decided to apply to Disney. When he got the rejection letter, he was just so happy that they knew his name and knew he was alive. After both him and his best friend Andy applied, Saul's second time, Andy got the call back and got the internship. Saul didn’t make it, so he called up the head of Disney and asked the million dollar question, "Why didn't I get in?". He then got the next steps of the recipe that he needed. He exceeded expectations. Then, the day arrived, Saul got the call. He got into Disney!
