Monoreel Radio

With the reopening of Walt's park just around the corner, we've been reminiscing about our trip to Disneyland and wanted to choose a film that reminds us of our incredible vacation. One of our favorite areas in the parks is Pixar Pier, so this week, we review and discuss 2004's "The Incredibles". What year does this movie take place? How is this animation in comparison to the other Pixar films? Where does this rank amongst other superhero films? All of this and more this week on Monoreel Radio.

We got to go to Disneyland back in 2018, just months after launching Monoreel Radio. If you'd like to hear about our trip to the parks and tour of the Disney Studios, click here:

This week, we review and discuss Disney's first try at turning an attraction into a film with 2002's "The Country Bears".

Does it deserve to be a part of "What The February"? All of that and more this week on Monoreel Radio.
