Sully of the Jungle

Wade Sampson at Mouseplanet.com has posted portions of a conversation he had with Disney Legend Bill "Sully" Sullivan about, among a variety of other topics, his time as a "Jungle Bunny" in the early years of The Jungle Cruise.

An excerpt:

"I spent two and a half years in the jungle. We did about three boat trips an hour, each trip lasting seven minutes. We'd get a quick break unloading and loading guests before we made another trip. There was no formal script so we all wrote a script with all those gags that people love. They brought in a writer to make it more professional but we never followed it because we liked our stuff better."
