DIZNEY COAST TO COAST: Disney Talks with Rose-Colored Glasses Removed

Disney fans rejoice! Today on the show we're talking all about the California Institute of the Arts, better known as CalArts. As a Disney fan, you've probably at least heard of CalArts. A lot of Disney talent graduated from this school and it was started by Walt Disney himself. Joining me to share insight about CalArts is Disney animator, CalArts graduate, and member of the Board of Trustees, David Bossert. Listen as he talks about the beginnings of CalArts, what it was like being a student there, and his involvement with the school today. That and so much more in this episode.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, we're traveling back to 1991 to discuss an eight month event at Disneyland that people have varying opinions on. If you grew up in the '80s or '90s, you probably loved it. If you were an adult at the time, there's a good chance you thought it was cheap and tacky. I'm speaking of Afternoon Avenue, which was a sort of precursor to Mickey's Toontown, featuring characters that were particularly popular to kids at the time. Characters like Scrooge McDuck, Gruffi Gummi, Gadget, Baloo and so many more were all featured in this temporary land. Joining me to discuss is Modern Mouse Josh who actually got to experience Afternoon Avenue when he was a kid visiting Disneyland. Although I didn't get to personally experience it at the time, I did get a taste of it when Disneyland recreated it somewhat at Disneyland After Dark: 90s Nite. That and so much more in this episode.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, we're talking about the non-Disney music of Main Street U.S.A. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to hear how important music is to setting the mood of Main Street U.S.A. But have you ever really stopped to think about just how much music there is? There's the Main Street music loop playing through the speakers. And there are the Dapper Dans serenading the folks passing by. Additionally, there's a ton of music and musical groups performing throughout the day. Probably more than you even realize. And so much of it isn't even Disney specific. Joining me to discuss the plethora of musical options and some of the music's origins and history is the creator of the album and live shows "Swingin' with the Mouse," Pablo Rossil. That and so much more in this episode.

Disney fans rejoice! Live from Midsummer Scream convention comes this panel about the 2016 interactive subscription game, Disney's Ghost Post, based on characters and tales from The Haunted Mansion. For $199 you could sign up and receive a package each month for three months. Inside the packages were collectibles and "artifacts" from the Haunted Mansion, and you had to help save the day through various tasks and illusions. It was certainly an ambitious project, but not one that many people know about. Only 999 of them were ever made and they were practically gone before they even went on sale. You'll hear how that happened in this conversation with Kevin Lively and Cory Doctorow who were both writers on the project. That and so much more in this episode.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode we discuss a Disney movie you've probably never heard of, and for good reason. The fact is that Disney kept it's name off of this movie when it was released in 1980. The movie is "Midnight Madness," and it was an answer to all of those raunchy comedies of the 1970s. The Walt Disney Company was in a weird place. It was going through a bit of an identity crisis and Ron Miller was the new CEO. This is a movie I grew up with and have fond memories of despite its questionable quality. One highlight of the movie is the fact that it's Michael J. Fox's motion picture debut. I hope you enjoy our conversation all about "Midnight Madness." You'll most certainly be learning about a bit of Disney history that you probably know nothing about. That and so much more in this episode.
