Welcome to Talking Disney Magic! Join Vanessa Mulcahey and IGN's Adam Bankhurst as they not only talk about the latest news in the world of Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and more, but also rank and review the biggest movies in Disney and Pixar's incredible catalog!

For our first movie of 2026, we are so excited to rank and review Cars! Join us as we head to Radiator Springs to talk about how this film holds up, why it's so much deeper and more well-crafted than people may realize, and how there may be a dark side of this universe no one is talking about!

Next up, we are going to be ranking and reviewing Cars 2 (and then Cars 3!), so be sure to get your reviews, favorite moments, questions, and more in as well to [email protected]!

Oh, and you can check out our current rankings of all the films we've reviewed right here and our list of upcoming films we'll be ranking and reviewing on Talking Disney Magic!

Lastly, We'd love you to join our Discord so YOU can talk Disney magic with us: https://discord.gg/QXSMsNmcXE
