Escape From Vault Disney

After yet another unexpectedly-long hiatus, in this episode the randomizer goes all the way back to 2018 and 2019, to a complete series of interstitial music videos that tied in to yet another Disney Junior series that taught pre-school children the importance of diversity and self-esteem, except in this particular series, the metaphor for "being different" they went with was making the title character a mythical undead humanoid creature that traditionally subsists on human blood. That's right, if you thought the sparkly vampires of Twilight were an insult to Bram Stoker, get ready for a GLITTERY vampire with her own rock band and a catalog of attempted ditties about such terrifying topics as glamour, summer vacation, inspirational historical figures, and of course rapping mummies.

For our fifth and final episode of the cartoonishly-inaccurately-titled Patreon Request "Month" 2025, the randomizer is going all the way back to the 1940s to pick Landon Knoke's request for four specific vintage animated shorts in which everyone's favorite dimwitted cartoon dog-man tries his white-gloved hand at that eternal lifework of dimwitted dog-men everywhere, athletics! Every physical activity from plummeting down a steep snowy mountain with large wooden sticks on your shoes, to hitting a small ball with a different kind of wooden stick and running around in a circle, to carrying a prolate spheroid across a grassy field filled with men trying to injure you, to using your leisure time to endure even MORE strenuous activity just to keep yourself fit enough to continue engaging in such pointless nonsense, the immortal character formerly known as Dippy Dawg shows us how to do it all! Join Tony Goldmark, Mat Brunet, Randee Martin and Gaby Tyrrell as they patronize THE ART OF SKIING AND OTHER GOOFY SHORTS! Shorts covered in this episode: - The Art of Skiing (1941) - How To Play Baseball (1942) - How To Play Football (1944) - Goofy Gymnastics (1949) Here are those anxiety-inducing old ski lift photos we talk about: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/snow-king-chairlifts-photos Check out my guests' stuff!

It's our fourth episode of the increasingly-inaccurately-titled Patreon Request "Month" 2025, and in the longest official episode of this podcast to date, the randomizer is going all the way back to 1988 to pick ArthurCrane's request for, quite simply, one of the greatest cinematic triumphs of all time, a tour-de-force of animation, live action and pre-CGI special effects wizardry, wrapped up in a still-relevant metaphorical fable about civil rights and gentrification set in an impossible fantasy world that combines a gritty film noir aesthetic with off-the-wall cartoon zaniness. Directed by future Oscar-winning blockbuster visionary Robert Zemeckis at the peak of his powers, with animation directed by often-underappreciated genius Richard Williams, and representing a Disney studio with new management eager to swing for the fences and conquer the world, this masterpiece was truly a once-in-a-lifetime perfect melding of artistry, ambition and anarchy. And granted, the whole project was blown out of the water just a few years later by the even greater achievement that was Ralph Bakshi's Cool World, but this movie was still pretty darn swell too.

It's our second episode of Patreon Request "Month" 2025, and the randomizer is going all the way back to 2023 to pick something we got THREE requests for, from Kris C., Carolyn Knudstrup and Emma Looman. It's an epic patience-testing three-and-a-half-hour live concert film spanning the entire illustrious career of the single most popular and influential musician of our time, arguably the most talented performer ever to rack up eleven #1 singles, ten #1 albums (fourteen if you count re-recordings), fourteen Grammys, over fifty million albums sold in an era when no one buys music anymore, seven hundred and forty-two ex-boyfriends, three thousand seven hundred and nine diss tracks about those ex-boyfriends, one old version of herself who can't come to the phone right now cuz she's dead, AND one animated voice role as a character named after Dr. Seuss's widow. But on this podcast episode, we boldly aim to dig deeper, peel back the layers and answer that all-important age-old earth-shattering so-controversial-yet-so-brave question, "but is her music actually any GOOD?"

In this episode, we're bypassing the randomizer for a VERY long-awaited Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend David Ganssle FINALLY takes his Guest's Choice option out of his back pocket after four-and-a-half years and slaps it in front of our eyeballs, but not before cutting eyeholes in it to shield our identities. That's right, Doggans is making us watch a 1958 "clip show" movie compiled from the first thirteen episodes of Disney's hit 1950s ABC black-and-white primetime series about that legendary world-famous dashing Spanish Californian outlaw played by the dad from Lost In Space who outfoxes tyrannical dictators, swashes buckles while buckling his swashes, and carves a Z with his blade. No one knows what that Z stands for, but perhaps someday our top scientists will figure it out.

In this episode, for this year's Christmas episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2004 to pick a straight-to-DVD anthology feature in which everyone's favorite classic Disney animated characters were given some of the most horrendously hideous CGI makeovers you ever done seen, just so they could star in a bunch of even-cheaper holiday stories about everything Christmas is all about: sick ice skating moves, espionage, chronic embarrassment, blacklight-induced violent rage, and of course the act of naming a dog Murray. Needless to say, they couldn't get Kelsey Grammer to narrate this one. Join Tony Goldmark, Dave Cobb, Tyler Green and Cassie Shima as they regift MICKEY'S TWICE UPON A CHRISTMAS!

In this year's Halloween episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to pick the Halloween episode of one of the biggest zeitgeist-capturing megahit series in the illustrious five-year history of Disney+. The first-ever television show produced by Marvel Studios was also a twisted love letter to the history of television itself, filtered through an uncommon love story between an Eastern European witch and an undead British-accented android, in a thoroughly postmodern setting that literalized how escapist entertainment can paradoxically become a mental prison, all wrapped up in a package so weird and yet so accessible that it could only have been made by (and likely would only have been embraced by the masses IF made by) Marvel. Also this episode has a claymation scene where a talking shark sells yogurt products, because why wouldn't it?

In this episode, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to pick an example of everyone's favorite subgenre of Disney+ content, that's right, another NatGeo documentary! Only this time, it's NOT one of those wretched disposable televised NatGeo specials that's exactly the same as every other NatGeo special, it's a full-fledged NatGeo-branded theatrical documentary feature film from the Oscar-winning directors of Free Solo about the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, an inherently compelling true story of unlikely heroes triumphantly overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds in order to save human life, which unfortunately is primarily known to westerners as "that one time Elon Musk called a guy a pedophile on Twitter for no good reason" because everything is dumb and the world is broken.

It's the ludicrously-belated fifth and final episode of WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? "MONTH" on Escape From Vault Disney! And to wrap up this batch of episodes on the most awkward time period in Disney history, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1976 to cover an example of Disney's most reliably lucrative (or at least, least reliably un-lucrative) genre at the time, the dumb-as-rocks slapstick-heavy live-action comedy! And what a comedy it was, assembling more exclamation-point-worthy TV stars than a primetime variety special - Ed Asner! Don Knotts! Tim Conway! Tom Bosley! Bob Crane! Dick Van Patten! Dick Butkus! The Guy Who Voiced The Cat From Outer Space! - and then casting them all in a motion picture where the REAL star is a dumb mule who somehow gets drafted as an NFL placekicker through the use of Air Bud logic twenty years before Air Bud.

It continues to be WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our third episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1981 to pick an animated would-be classic that seemed to have everything going for it: a beautiful nature setting in the Bambi mold, a timeless parabolic story about the irrationality of bigotry, and a once-in-a-lifetime animation crew loaded with literally dozens of future directors. How could they possibly screw that up? Welp, dull dialogue, a meandering story, muddled character motivations, instantly forgettable songs, an inept fumbling of the anti-bigotry message, a side character who should've died inexplicably living, a pointless B-plot where two birds and a caterpillar do third-rate Tom & Jerry shtick, and what the hell, why not throw in some incompetent studio mismanagement that drove about a dozen animators to resign and form their own studio while we're at it, that's how. Meh, at least the furries got something out of it. Join Tony Goldmark, Dave Cobb, Charley Marlowe and Jacob Martin as they try to schedule a disastrous playdate for THE FOX AND THE HOUND!

It's WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney, as we devote March 2024 to movies, featurettes and/or TV specials produced by Walt Disney Productions during that odd, awkward inbetween time from 1968-1984, after Walt died but before Eisner took over! And for our first episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, we're joined by the man who literally wrote the soon-to-be-released book on that era, Meet the Robinsons director Stephen Anderson! And for our topic, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1977, the summer when Star Wars had the unmitigated audacity to dominate the box office 35 years before Disney owned it. The only competition Disney had that summer was a Herbie sequel and an animated talking mice movie, so the Disney execs thought "Hey, y'know what Walt would've done? He would've paired the animated talking mice movie with 48 minutes of documentary-style footage of a bear and a raccoon in the woods just kinda wandering around, narrated by an obscure country singer who, for thoroughly unclear reasons, is named 'Mayf Nutter.' That'll steer audiences away from Luke Skywalker blowing up the Death Star for sure!" Are you starting to understand why Disney struggled in the 70s?
