Interviews & Special Reports
Since March 2005, UltimateDisney.com has conducted interviews with various celebrities and people involved with the Walt Disney Company. Interviewees ranged from young actors such as Brenda Song and Dominic Scott Kay to renowned animators and directors Andreas Deja, Jon Turteltaub, and Henry Selick, as well as notable Disney Legend Alice Estes Davis and football player Vince Papale.

UltimateDisney.com has also participated in various press events for the Walt Disney Company, often publishing them as the "UD Special Reports". Many of these are handled by forum member "Pluto Region1," a California resident who has covered such events as a tour of the Animation Research Library, the High School Musical DVD Launch Party, and the 2006 DVD premiere of 1941's Dumbo at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.
In August 2008, UltimateDisney.com published its very first Video Report, as reporters Christopher Disher and Caitlin Custer attended the DVD premiere of The Little Mermaid III: Ariel's Beginning, and interviewed various celebrity attendees such as voice actress Jodi Benson (voice of Ariel). However, video reports were not new to the site. On March 8, 2005 the site began offering a "Weekly Video Update", in which forum member snowhite8 hosted brief one-minute videos which discussed recently-released and upcoming Disney DVDs. The video updates ceased on November 15, 2005.
In the summer of 2006, Ultimate Disney attended the world premiere of Disney/Pixar's Cars, interviewing celebrities from the red carpet. Among those interviewed were John Lasseter, John Ratzenberger, Bonnie Hunt, Larry the Cable Guy, Richard Petty, Katherine Helmond, and Jennifer Lewis.

Famous quotes containing the words interviews, special and/or reports:
“What a perpetual disappointment is actual society, even of the virtuous and gifted! After interviews have been compassed with long foresight, we must be tormented presently by baffled blows, by sudden, unseasonable apathies, by epilepsies of wit and of animal spirits, in the heyday of friendship and thought. Our faculties do not play us true, and both parties are relieved by solitude.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And weren’t there special cemetery flowers,
That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest:
The flowers will go on with grief awhile,
And no one seem neglecting or neglected?
A prudent grief will not despise such aids.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
