How's It Hold Up?

Disney's first technicolor Silly Symphony wasn't originally designed to be in color, but this one was! Does that make it better than Flowers and Trees, or does this one still come up short? Listen to find out!

Goofy and Max are at it again, but more "extremely" this time! And what does "extreme" mean in the year 2000? X-Games, of course! Goofy and Max must both play the X-Games while going to college and once again learning to love each other despite their differences. This movie might not be able to bank on the freshness its predecessor has, but is it still fun enough to warrant its existence? Listen to find out!

Whoopee, another Mickey Mouse cartoon! And this time, Goofy is here and looking like the Goofy we know and love, instead of an old man! Minnie, Horace and Clarabelle are here too, and everyone is having a raucous time. But is it a good time to actually watch? Listen to find out!

What if Goofy had a son and lived next door to Mickey's main villain Pete (who also had a family)? That is the premise of the TV series Goof Troop, and this movie takes that premise and elevates it to create the most character-defining movie for Goofy that exists, even to this day. But despite many a 90's kid's nostalgia, does this adventure with Goofy and his son Max still hold up so many years later? Listen to find out!

It's time to check in on Warner Bros again, and more specifically with their Looney Tunes mascot Bosko. Is his very existence still racist? Well, yes. But aside from the racism, how is the cartoon? Is it any less boring than Bosko's previous efforts? Listen to find out!

It's time to Discover this music album movie extravaganza! This film not only features the entirety of the music from Daft Punk's album "Discovery", but also features no traditional dialogue and animation in the style of Leiji Matsumoto. The album is considered a classic, but does the movie match that level of prestige? Listen to find out!

Two Silly Symphony shorts in a row? Well, yes! But this one's in black and white again, and rather than the typical musical Silly Symphony fare, it's basically the first solo Pluto short! That's right, Mickey's pal is striking out on his own, or at least without Mickey! Pluto's joined by a bunch of other dogs, with one in particular that just really wants to be his friend. Is this short a good first outing for the Pup, or should you give it a skip? Listen to find out!

Today it's time for another Mamoru Hosoda film!! The one's we've seen previous have been emotional gut-punches - does this follow in the same track? Or is this something different, for better or worse? Listen to find out!

Thus far the shorts we've been watching have been almost entirely in black and white. But here comes Disney with vibrant three-strip technicolor, and a story about sentient trees. It's certainly gorgeous to look at, but what of the story and characters? Is this short worth watching on its own merits, or just as a historical footnote? Listen to find out!

We've got our second movie-based-on-a-television-series in a row! This one was also a financial flop, though two of our hosts remember watching it in theatres back in the day. It's an action-packed movie with heartfelt moments and laughs aplenty, but does it all come together? Listen to find out!
