Escape From Vault Disney

This week, for our first Christmas episode of 2023, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2020 to pick a heartwarming holiday special made when the world was struggling through an unprecedented catastrophic global pandemic, so naturally The Disney Channel thought it'd be a swell idea to take a quartet of promising young actors from the ZOMBIES movies (I swear we didn't mean to cover two ZOMBIES tie-in specials in a row, the randomizer just works in mysterious ways sometimes), entice them to enter Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom after hours with the false promise of an empty park and no lines for the rides, then sadistically force them to complete a bunch of meaningless tasks involving bike-taxiing, apple-throwing, candy-cane-canoeing, letter-sorting, water-balancing, table-setting and bridge-running, all while emotionally manipulating them into thinking holiday magic itself would disappear forever if they failed to complete all this arbitrary nonsense on time. Just as Baby Jesus commanded. Join Tony Goldmark, Zach Hurst, Devo Spice and Veronika Vexed as they embark on a DISNEY HOLIDAY MAGIC QUEST (2020)! Check out my guests' stuff!

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.

David Ganssle and I finally wrap up our conversation where we said a few words about every item on the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist! In this one, we go through another, shorter list of Disney-owned movies and shows that I considered for the shortlist, but ultimately didn't make the cut.

Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss the original 1997 Under Wraps, Victory Through Air Power, The Watcher In the Woods, "Weird Al" Yankovic: There's No Going Home, Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore and The Wuzzles!

This week, for our second of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to cover that time the Disney Channel cartoon about noseless cornlike rural caricatures spent an entire half-hour special shamelessly promoting the trilogy of Disney Channel movie musicals about various high-school-age monsters who don't act like monsters except when they do. If that sounds random and arbitrary to you, try recording a podcast about it where exactly one out of four people has seen any full episodes of the cartoon, and no one has seen any of the movies. Or better yet, don't, cuz we already did. Join Tony Goldmark, Rob Bergman, Shoebox and a Surprise Special Guest as they get bitten by a ZOMBI-THON WITH BIG CITY GREENS! Check out my guests' stuff!

This week, for our first of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1984 to cover one of the earliest live-action efforts of a rising young talent by the name of Tim Burton, who in this landmark early work explored many of the very same themes and motifs that would later become ubiquitous in his filmography, including the juxtaposition of mundane suburban life with horror-fantasy tropes, the celebration of misunderstood outsiders over bland conformists, and of course cool-looking German expressionist gothic art design absolutely slathered all over the screen. At the time it was a unique, exemplary work of art from an obvious future auteur, so naturally Disney buried it like an undead dog's bone and only released it eight years later after its director made freakin' Batman. Join Tony Goldmark, Haley Baker Callahan, David Ganssle and Gaby Tyrrell as they obnoxiously point out that it's Frankenweenie's monster, not FRANKENWEENIE (1984)!

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend Madeline Maye makes us watch one of the first episodes of a 1988 ABC Saturday morning cartoon produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, a series that came about when the executives said "So yeah, Winnie the Pooh's a big popular brand for us, let's just slap together a cute little Pooh show to sell some more plush toys to pre-schoolers, it doesn't need to be mindblowing or anything." To which the writers, artists and showrunners responded, "We are going to make an episode about Rabbit looking after a baby bird that will rip every last audience member's still-beating heart right out of their asses and show it to them before they die drowning in their own salty tears." Join Tony Goldmark, Madeline Maye, Chris Nebergall and Renie Rivas as they count all the bees in the hive and chase all the clouds from the sky back to the days of THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH, season one, episode four, "Find Her, Keep Her!"

Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss Ten Who Dared, That Thing You Do!, They Might Be Giants: Here Come the ABCs, Titan A.E., the 2015 Tomorrowland movie and the 1997 Tower of Terror movie!

UPDATE: And, of course, mere minutes before this minisode went public, they announced that Spider-Man: Far From Home would arrive on Disney+ on November 3! Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss Spider-Man: Far From Home, Sport Goofy In Soccermania, a bunch of Disney park attraction videos (specifically the original Star Tours pre-show and ride film, The Disney Studios Story from the Backstage Studio Tour, Back To Never Land from The Magic of Disney Animation, Michael & Mickey from Inside the Magic: Special Effects and Production Tour, and the pre-show queue videos from Mickey's House and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror), the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie and The Sweatbox!

Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss the 1997 comedy RocketMan, the 2006 remake of The Shaggy Dog, The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show, the infamous "Michael Jackson" episode of The Simpsons (S3E1, "Stark Raving Dad"), So Dear To My Heart, the 1983 adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, Son of Flubber and Song of the South.

At long last, this week the randomizer wraps up Patreon Request Month 2023 by going all the way back to 2012 to pick Nick F's request for an episode of the OTHER project titled "Once Upon A (something)" that first aired on ABC in which Disney tried to cram every last Disney character onscreen together. Specifically a season one episode that had the bold vision to say, "hey, remember when Disney retold a tale as old as time so absolutely perfectly that it became the first-ever animated feature nominated for Best Picture? We can probably do it better." They failed of course, but along the way they sure did give us an episode chock full of stupid character names, bad CGI backgrounds, annoying maniacal cackling, slutty goth waitresses, sneezing pharmacists, the kidnapping and excessive caning of a drinkware thief, and what the hell, a scene where a human being gets turned into a flower. Join Tony Goldmark, Charley Marlowe, Madeline Maye, Chris Nebergall and Veronika Vexed as they enter Shrek's outhouse and wipe their asses with a torn-out storybook page that begins with ONCE UPON A TIME, season one, episode twelve, "Skin Deep!"
