After a little hiatus we are BACK (not the we ever left) with a dissection of 1995's A Goofy Movie. It's fun, it's catchy and it's so very, very 90s.

Featuring our first GUEST podcaster, Jake Stewart from theatre podcast Praise Dionysus!. This is by far, the funniest and most interesting episode we have ever recorded (if we do say so ourselves). We talk all things Hans Zimmer, -coded Disney villains and Hakuna Matata. Enjoy!

Not that we want to pick out curtains or anything, but we really loved Aladdin. Listener beware - the history of this movie is not all roses but my word, the music in this just rocks, don't it?

Considered to be one of the greatest Disney scores ever, Staccas and Will delve into one of the greatest tales of all time - Beauty and the Beast. A true celebration of the incredible work of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. So pull out your favourite gold ballgown and come have a listen to us revel in one of the greatest Disney movies ever released.

Welcome to the renaissance! We finally sit down to dissect movie number 20 - The Little Mermaid (1989). Loaded with information and fun facts about the era we all know and love, plus some VERY exciting scoring moments, this is an episode not to miss!

Join Staccas and Will as they encounter a rare phenomenon: A Disney movie that neither of them had seen!

Billy Joel, Bette Midler, Cheech Marin build to make the most 80s voice cast this side of the Transformers cartoon and the list of composers is second to none! What;s your favourite song from 1988's Oliver and Company?

Welcome to the Renaissance! It's 1986 and Musker and Clements are on a roll. Beginning with 1986's The Great Mouse Detective. Recovering from the disaster that was 'The Black Cauldron' (1985), the movie proves to be a delightful rodent-filled interpretation of the great adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Will makes a very English cocktail, Staccas reaches for a glass of water to cleanse her palate and off we go!

As we inch closer and closer to the Renaissance, we dive into The 1981 game-changer that was Disney's "The Fox and the Hound". Staccas nerds out over the stellar line up of new creatives and Will gets all excited about Kurt Russell.

Down the mouse hole we go! In this episode, Staccas and Will dissect the music of the 1977's 'The Rescuers'. Featuring the hit song 'Someone's Waiting for You', this movie marks the beginning of the transformation of the animation department as we slowly wind our way up to the Renaissance.
