Escape From Vault Disney

It was bound to happen eventually: the randomizer, in its infinite wisdom, has chosen a NatGeo documentary, and a particularly slow and boring one at that. But boy oh boy, it sure does have a lotta pretty slow-motion footage of animals to fall asleep to. Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandra Dreyer, David Ganssle and Nicholas Bogroff Ganssle as we apprehensively venture INTO THE OKAVANGO!

Remember when cartoons were drawn by human beings? Well, two of those human beings were the subjects of the 1995 documentary the randomizer has chosen for us this week! Join Tony Goldmark, Alessandra Dreyer, David Ganssle and VERY special guest JENNY NICHOLSON(!!!) as we indulgently listen to FRANK AND OLLIE!

What happens when a Nicktoon becomes a Disneytoon? Apparently they run out of ideas and say "Screw it, it's a superhero show now." This week the randomizer picks a 1999 episode of the show that inexplicably had "Brand Spankin' New" in its title at one point! Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Morgan Funder as they say hello to DOUG, season three (technically seven), episode twenty-one, "Quailman Vs. The Triad of Terror!"

I am Groot? I am Groot. I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot. I am Groot. Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Morgan Funder I am Groot ROCKET & GROOT SHORTS!

What if Lizzy McGuire was also Tyler Durden AND Killer Frost? This week the randomizer goes back to 2006 (a magical long-forgotten era when some people apparently DIDN'T always want the whole world to read every last thought that fell out of their skulls) and chooses another Disney Channel original movie, this one about a high school girl whose diary goes viral (diaral?) and becomes semi-sentient. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Morgan Funder as they bravely READ IT AND WEEP!

The movie's called "Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge" and Kalabar's not in it. And, it all goes downhill from there. This week Tony teams up with The "Weird Al" Phabet podcast as the randomizer sadistically and unseasonally chooses the inexplicable 2001 sequel to a fondly-remembered Disney Channel original movie. Join Tony Goldmark, Andrew Frola, Michael Hunter, Daniel Kawka and David Spencer as they journey to HALLOWEENTOWN II: KALABAR'S REVENGE!

This week the randomizer goes back to 2005 to pick one of the 67 Winnie the Pooh products released that February. Join Tony Goldmark, Morgan Funder, David Ganssle and Luke Ski as they check out POOH'S HEFFALUMP MOVIE!

We at Escape From Vault Disney strongly condemn Mr. Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we will not be inviting him on this podcast again in the future. That said, rather than attempt to rewrite history, we have decided to leave this episode online and intact as a time capsule of when it was made. What if Winnie the Pooh was needlessly different? This week the randomizer picks another TV episode, namely an early-2000s Playhouse Disney series that turned A.A. Milne's beloved creations into hideous puppet monsters! Join Tony Goldmark, Zach Hurst, Luke Ski and Mighty Magiswords creator Kyle A. Carrozza as they crack open THE BOOK OF POOH, season two, episode four, "Day of the Knights/Come as Eeyore"!

The guy who played Michael Myers directed a Christmas movie! What could possibly go wrong? This week, JUST in the nick of time for Christmas, the randomizer picks a Disney Channel original movie from 2001 starring Walter White as Bad Santa. Join Tony Goldmark, Zach Hurst, Madeline Maye, Luke Ski and a Surprise Special Guest as they sit through 'TWAS THE NIGHT! DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded and released prior to the arrest of Kyle Carrozza, who appears briefly at the end. We at Escape From Vault Disney strongly condemn Mr. Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we will not be inviting him on this podcast again in the future.
