Majic Kingdom

About this episode

The episode explores the connection between Disney and UFO narratives, tracing historical events and media influences.

In  “Majic Kingdom,”  Bryce and Brent ask an uncomfortably fun question:  why does Disney keep showing up in the UFO story?  Bryce starts with the modern reality—Disney isn’t a historical footnote, it’s the  current epicenter  of alien storytelling, “industrializing” non-human intelligence across Disney+ through  Marvel ,  Star Wars , and the Fox-era franchises in its orbit. From there, they rewind to  1953’s CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel  and its blunt talk about “training” and “debunking,” including the suggestion to use  television and motion pictures  and explicitly naming  Disney  as a partner. The episode then dives into the “two 1995 whoppers”: the wildly pro-UFO Tomorrowland lobby film  Alien Encounters from New Tomorrowland  (with lines that sound like a government briefing) and a  two-week Disney UFO conference  that flew in major speakers… yet apparently drew an audience of only about a dozen because Disney  didn’t promote it at all , raising the question:  what was it really…
