The Jameson cult film club screening of Jaws at the Mansion House yesterday evening as part of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.

Richard ‘Hooper’ Dreyfuss was in attendance and was interviewed after the screening by RTE’s Rick O’Shea on “the deck of the Orca.” The Mansion House was suitably decked out for the occasion.

Created by digital artist Eowyn ‘theantilove’ Smith: a map of the geographical locations of 44 Disney and 13 Pixar films from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (1937) to Frozen (2013).

Full image and key here.

Unmappable films like Wall-E and Monsters Inc appear in an inset. Elsewhere, following furious pedantry on Reddit and DeviantArt, Smith clarifies:

1. Movie was placed based on the location IMPLIED IN THE DISNEY/PIXAR VERSION
2. If the movie was too vague to determine a location, the original story/myth was consulted.
