Disney Dives

It's back to another DCOM. This time, we're taking a look at Johnny Tsunami, The story of a surfer kid from Hawaii who moves all the way to New England, learning how to surf the snow waves. At it's heart, it's a story about fathers and sons, and their relationship. 

LIndsay Lohan gives us double the trouble with the 90s remake of a 60s classic. We're talking about The Parent Trap. 

This is the story of two girls. A Princess in need of protection, and a southern girl in need of a lesson in what being a princess is all about. Starring former Disney Darling Besties Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, we have to wonder, is this movie any good?

One of the most iconic sports movies of all time, this week we take a look at Remember the Titans. It's a movie about the only integrated high school in Virginia competing to win the State Championships while also combating racism between themselves and in the world around them. 

It's time for another DCOM and this week we're taking a look at The Color of Friendship. Set in the 1970s it tells the story of a friendship that forms between a white South African student and her black host family's daughter. It's a stark look at Apartheid South Africa, and racism, and it's definitely a film worth discussing. 

This week we talk about the DCOM classic Zenon. When a creepy corporate overlord decides to commit mass murder, it's up to a 13 year old to save her family from destruction major. Is this movie worth being a DCOM classic?

This week we're taking a look at Hayley Mill's debut Disney film Pollyanna. It's the story of a young girl with an optimism that shines, even through the darkest of days. It also has one of the most memeable sermons put to screen we've ever seen. After all DEATH COMES UNEXPECTEDLY! 

This week we're exploring the film Tom and Huck. It's the story of two boys, a lost treasure, and trying to free a man falsely accused of murder. Is it the fun adventure people wax nostalgic over? 

This week in our first DCOM we're taking a look back at what is arguably the start of one of Disney Channel's most popular franchises. high School Musical. Spawning two sequels, and a tv show on Disney Plus, we go back to the start of it all and even take a look at some questionable fan fiction involving Coach Bolton and Drama Teacher Mrs. Darbus. Enjoy!

For our premier episode we are taking a look at Mary Poppins. It's a live action classic that marries with Disney's animation. The result is absolutely fantastic.
