For The First Time In Forever

I just can't wait to be king...and neither can Dave, Mark and Jony! Come join them as they deep dive into the classic 1994 film, The Lion King, despite some opposite opinions of the film itself. Memories and stories will be shared, their favorite bugs to eat will be recommended, and life will be hakuna matata!

Merlin's beard, Harry! You're a wizar- oh wait, wait. Sorry, wrong film. But Merlin will be making an appearance in the film on this episode too! And so will Dave, Mark and Jony! Well, not in the film, but...well, you know what I mean! Will Madam Mim, Merlin's arch-nemesis, wreak havoc on all the land? And will this young Wart fellow help save the day? He can't be some sort of King one day, could he? And you know who won't be helping out on this quest? Uncle Mickey. Man, he pops off right out...

Once upon a dream does one have a Disney Princess on their podcast! Well, we dreamed a dream (whoops, wrong musical) and it came true. On this episode, Dave, Mark and Jony welcome, all the way from Los Angeles, actress/coach Scarlet Sheppard, who, among her many roles, has played Princess Aurora! But we'll have her tell you about it, as the four venture into 14th century Europe and deep dive into the medieval, yet colorful (and occasionally frightening, if you run into Maleficent- a fan favor...

We can fly! We can fly! We...ok, we can't fly (Dave found that out the hard way last month on a flight of stairs). But Lord knows we'll try! So join Dave, Mark and Jony as they grab some pixie dust and some wonderful thoughts and go off to Neverland in the 1953 movie Peter Pan. And what an adventure it is! So join us on this deep dive of memories, pirate lives, and lost boys! Logo artwork by Zuxiu Chen

Bibbidi bobbidi BAM and, just like that, the boys are out of the package film era and back into feature lengths! I'm sure this will make them happy, especially since they hit the ground running with 1950's "Cinderella", one of the absolute Disney classics (which, of course, Dave had never seen before). It's going to be a hell of a good time! So please join Dave, Mark and Jony as they come together and welcome in the 50's! What a milestone! Logo Artwork by Zuxiu Chen

Are the boys slowly getting over the packaged films of the 40s? For shame shame shame! But who wouldn't love Little Toot or a little folkloric party with country star Roy Rogers? Find out as Dave, Mark and Jony talk about 1948's Melody Time! Their 5th packaged film, how will it stand up to other anthologies and shorts or the great Fantasia (Jony's favorite, of course)? Is Johnny Appleseed ingrained in us from our childhoods? Should Uncle Mickey write a packaged film (the answer...will pr...

Dave, Mark and Jony discuss the 3rd package film in the 40's that were keeping the studio alive during wartime. And that film is 1946's "Make Mine Music"! This was a hard one to watch, as it is the only feature film in the Disney Animated Classics canon that is not on Disney +, or streaming in full length for that matter. The boys had to get creative, but alas! So, come discuss all the animated styles and story lines, a short that was pulled from subsequent release after it's depiction of gun...
