For those not familiar, John Musker is the taller, sharp featured of the pair and Ron Clements sports a bright red beard peppered with the streaks that are more likely remnants of surviving production deadlines than something brought on by time.
John thinks and talks at a faster pace; what he’s thinking and what he’s saying almost seem to be in a race with each other.
It shifts with Ron and John, as to who is looking out for whom, but for the most part the more careful and reserved one seems to keep an eye on the more impulsive and impetuous one.

As an actual industry insider, Wickham has a real appreciation for the artistry (as well as all the nuts and bolts stuff) that goes into the creation of a feature length animated film.
Musker and Clements have cleverly combined Squire Trelawny and Dr. Livesey of Stevenson's novel and made him a single character who is far more interesting and much less stuffy, not to mention less confusing as the characters in the novel always seemed to be longing to meld into one.
This film is Clements' and partner John Musker's best story telling effort since "The Little Mermaid" (which, for my money, is still the most solid and satisfying screenplay in the "new" Disney oeuvre) and the closest thing to classic story telling we're likely to see from Disney for a while.
