Disney Compendium

Hey, I know I said "Hey, this will go up the day Disney+ launches" and then it didn't  But I ALSO said I know it won't because I'm awful and I was right.  Today, it's about the best of the best of Disney's afternoon classics.  This episode was hand chosen by Nick and it's got both of us almost singing.

The Vault! Where the racial stereotypes go to either die or be preserved for another generation to enjoy! When you need to make future money off a movie? The Vault! Need a single frame from a short nobody remembers from 1948?  The Vault! And also lots and lots of things not related to the vault at all are discussed.  Enjoy!

The year 2000 brought us a lot of content.  This is one of them.  What do you get when a film falls apart at the seams and just becomes something completely different with 90% less Sting than originally intended?  Here you go.  As a bonus, we also include a lengthy discussion about the fully filmed, but never release (but easy to find now) documentary covering the whole mess of a production.  BOOM BABY!

In a post Jurassic Park world, Disney tries their own hand at Pixar and well...

With a stunning history of who is responsible to it existing to trying to drop in every Dinosaur movie you could think of, this episode has it all.

IN THE YEAR 2000, Roy Disney wants to make a new Fantasia and Eisner wants him to shut up so he lets him.  What is the final product? Tune in and find out. (Note, I'm aware of the the audio issue missing a couple seconds on the front of the episode, the problem will be fixed in future episodes.)

Well.  Here it is.  The end of the era known as the Disney Renaissance.  And what a way to go out.  Just a long wet raspberry of a movie.  Join the hosts as they try and talk about anything else BUT Tarzan for 90+ minutes. 

Can the two hosts talk about Chinese culture without embarrassing themselves? Let's find out! Disney takes on the topic of female representation.  Do they nail the landing or stumble like fools.  This 1998 classic is the penultimate Disney Renaissance film. It's genuinely kind of exciting to think about.

IS HE SWEET? OUR FAVORITE FLAVOR.  Disney takes a shot at ancient mythology.  Is their aim true and pure? Or do they miss the target again as the Renaissance draws closer to a close?  TUNE IN! James Woods is a vile villain, and is also Hades in this movie! Enjoy! 

Coming at you like a giant vat of molten lead, the gang talks about The Hunchback of Notre Dame, as we wind down the Disney Renaissance, the quality of animation remains high, but what about everything else?  Join us.  Shall you? 

Hey.  Disney went historical.  You can guess how well that went.  Done with the best of intentions or a cynical attempt to diversify their princess portfolio? Tune in and listen to the hosts really try and find the good in this one.  ENJOY!
