We are but weak sailors on the sea, who once again cannot resist the siren song (Or is that swan song) of the Swan Princess series. This month we're diving into what was the start of the "Sequelitis" that infected the series, with the first of two traditionally animated sequels released in the 90s. What Swan Princess lore have we missed out on by skipping over the original sequels in favour of the CGI ones? Who did they try and get to replace Rothbart? Who is Wendy the Swamp Pig? All will be revealed in this episode!

Hit me one time, hit me twice! We're once again delving into our 90s kid childhoods by taking a look at FernGully: The Last Rainforest. A film that lures you in with it's promises of a fun fairy adventure, only to traumatize you with a villain birthed from your darkest nightmares... Or is that just me?

July marks Kristi's birthday month and for this year that means the podcast is completely disregarding it's premise in favour of taking a look at a childhood favourite film of hers... Digimon: The Movie. Made by mashing up three separate OVA's into one feature length film, this movie is saddled with a very strange meandering plot... but that didn't stop wee-baby Kristi from loving it (It definitely could've used a lot more of Angemon, though). 

Join us as we... mostly get distracted talking about other Digimon related topics, but there is some discussion of the movie in there too, I swear!

We're dipping our toes back into the Barbie-verse by taking a look at Barbie: Star Light Adventure, a Barbie movie that dares to ask "What if Barbie... but in Space?". Well, it turns out you get a lot of the same stuff we're used to in the Barbie direct-to-DVD movies, just with a few more hoverboards and robots thrown into the mix. Come and join us as we discuss among other things: Superficially 'quirky' characters designed to avoid losing any marketability, Space Kings and their love of classical music, and the wasted potential of Pupcorn the alien. We also get sidetracked talking about a local amusement park for a little bit. 

We're commemorating the end of MerMay by taking yet another look at a Little Mermaid adaptation, this time from our old chums The Asylum. As you might've guessed The Asylum released this adaptation to cash in on the Disney Live Action Little Mermaid adaptation released that same year, though surprisingly their adaptation is animated (Maybe they didn't want to spring for the costs of getting one of those fancy silicone mermaid tails?). 

It's April once again, and that mean it's time for our annual "April Fools" celebration with a look at a movie staring a Prince (Or in this case, a 'Prince-to-be'). We're taking a look at George and the Dragon, a movie that aims to tell the 'real' story of the legend of Saint George. Come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) skateboarding medieval monks, Princess Bride-wannabes, and dragon-proof garbage cans. 

We're celebrating Bri's birthday month with a look at a movie of her choosing: Jupiter Ascending! This film is a wild ride from start to finish, and I get to act as the designated "Jupiter Ascending Sherpa" to try and help make sense of it all for Bri, who spends the majority of the summary quietly wheeze-laughing to herself. So come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) Man-Dog-Bird-Alien's and the women who love them, lengthy sci-fi world building that revolves around the consumption of people juice, and why you don't treat your cousin like a chicken. 

We're commemorating Valentines Day by taking a look at a romantic fantasy called "I am Dragon", a film that's perfect for all the folks out there who liked Twilight, but thought it could use more scales and fire-breathing. Come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) resourceful protagonists, weird dreams involving Santa Claus and chicken wings, and monster boyfriends and the people who love them.

We're kicking off the 2025 season of our podcast by checking off a New Year's resolution we've held for many years... that's right, we're finally taking a look at a non-Swan Princess adaptation of the Swan Lake story. Specifically, we're taking a look at Swan Lake, Toei Animation's 1981 adaptation of the classic ballet story. Come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) villains you wanna redeem, barn owls being the softest owls to pet, and whether or not this film ends with a bunch of ghosts or if Kristi just pulled that interpretation out of thin air. 

We're wrapping 2024 with our traditional retrospective episode where we look back on what movies we covered on the podcast in the last year. It's our version of a clip show, but one where the recaps get interrupted by tangents about ceiling wasps and Pokemon cards.
