Oof! Right in the Childhood

In the 1970s, Disney was expanding by hiring new animators like Tim Burton and John Lasseter and also alienating Don Bluth and a third of its junior animators. Nonetheless, it managed to make a beautiful film about how true friendship can survive anything but adversity.

I sit down with Stargate Pioneer of GonnaGeek.com to discuss his history with The Rescuers and a thorough discussion of all the people who died right after this movie. I'm sure this movie wasn't cursed. Sure of it.

This week, I dive into the beginning of the Dark Ages of Disney. In the middle of the Bronze Era, we have a story about 2 mice rescuing a child from an abusive, horrible woman, but it's set with overtones of women's lib and international cooperation.

I sit down with Dylan Lincoln of Plot What Plot podcast to talk about the many life lessons that Winnie the Pooh gave us and the many that we learned in school that were never useful.

Content warning: There's a brief mention of adult themes and we think Winnie the Pooh wouldn't be friends with racists. You shouldn't either.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh has the unique honour of being the only package film released after the wartime era, being the last feature-length film that was personally worked on by Walt Disney, and it has the first work the studio completed without any input. It's hard to tell which of the stories here has more turmoil, the story of A.A. Milne and Christopher Robin or 1977's genre-sweeping changes.

My two real life best friends join me to wax poetic on their favourite Disney movie. From what phrases Eli used in everyday life to Melissa's real life romance, we laugh and talk about the tricky, sexy foxes who shaped our lives.

Content warning: this week's episode includes some political content. We aren't too harsh, but if this is an "escape" from politics, you might want to wait until you have the emotional battery to handle it.

Disney's Robin Hood was created as the ultimate show of reverence for Walt Disney. They incorporated ideas he'd held close since the 1930s to create the tricky, sexy fox that is Robin Hood. This movie drips with Gen X/Xennial nostalgia, promotes kindness and distribution of wealth, and also shows how poor people are treated in prison.

After Walt Disney's death, the studio struggled to find its footing without their patriarch. With their first original story, they created the first animated movie without Walt Disney's oversight. Did they succeed or did they create a movie full of cringey memories?

I sit down with Rob Oue of the Smoke and Mirrors Podcast to talk about how he connects with his mom through The Jungle Book and how he hopes to connect with his son in the same way. And then I punch his childhood in the face. Sorry Rob!
