DF'82: Window to a Great Show

Window to a Great Show

Continuing with our look around the Windows of Main Street U.S.A, today we look round to the other side of the Tailor shop we previously explored. This small street holds hundreds of interesting and fascinating facts, shops, societies, and today's is no exception! Today's window contains perhaps the Greatest Show on Earth:

"Intense" Travelling Productions

Eric van Dijk
Director
Jean-Luc Choplin
Casting
Tom Jacobson
Costumes

The Greatest Shows On Earth

It is hard to find information on Eric van Dijk, so if any readers can help with this part of the window, that would be appreciated.

Jean-Luc Choplin was the Vice President of Entertainment for Disneyland Paris, and later moved to California in 1995 to become Disney's Vice President Creative Development.

Tom Jacobson, similarly, is hard to trace to his workings at Disney or Disneyland Paris. He has served as a production manager on several Disney films, including Mighty Joe Young.
