Part of Your World: The Disney Animated Podcast

Christian, Pandy, and Kelly cap off 2023 by revisiting Tim Burton, Henry Selick, and Danny Elfman's dark-yet-delightful The Nightmare Before Christmas - one of the most celebrated stop-motion and holiday films of all time!

Taking a break from the official animated canon, Christian, Donovan, and Dan Toland take a U-turn back to 1995 and traverse A Goofy Movie - home to the worst theme park in the country, fiction's greatest pop star, and a surprisingly touching father / son relationship. Along the way, the trio take detours through Goof Troop, the DuckTales reboot, and the Atlanta episode "The Goof Who Sat by the Door."

In the last proper episode of 2023, Christian, Will, and newcomer-to-the-show Skyler Queen descend upon Home on the Range - one of Disney's last and least-loved traditionally animated films.

Shady shamans, hapless hunters, and missing megafauna are all the rage as Christian, Pandy, and Kelly explore the now twenty-year-old Brother Bear! Plus: a major tease for a future review, an extended outro and outtake, and bad bear puns galore!

Sailing back to 2002 and returning aboard the HMS Part of Your World, Mixie helps guide Christian through Treasure Planet - the most expensive traditionally animated film of all time and one of Disney's most infamous flops! Along the way, the two raise their glasses to Emma Thompson, David Hyde Pierce, and Brian (not Doyle) Murray, cross swords over the one film's less popular characters, and attempt to piece together why this film and the Disney pirate film that came out the next year had vastly different fortunes.

Emma beams back down to Part of Your World to help Christian ascend the crest of Disney animation's early 2000s output - the bizarre but heartwarming Lilo and Stitch! Plus, in light of the studio's recent 100th anniversary, the two briefly touch upon Once Upon a Studio!

Part of Your World enters the current century (and a troubled decade for Disney animation) with the part-pulp, semi-steampunk, and all-ambitious Atlantis: The Lost Empire! Join Christian and returning guest Dave Probert as they plunge into this first entry in an unofficial trilogy of Disney sci-fi films - delving into everything from vehicular mansplaining, imperialism, scene-stealing sidekicks, and, of course, the late and great Leonard Nimoy!

BOOM, baby! Christian and Will are back to gaze upon Kingdom of the S -AHEM- The Emperor's New Groove, along with its notoriously difficult production history courtesy of The Sweatbox! Is the end result a hollow crown or a rare gem? (Hint: With Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton involved, what do you think?)

Zini the Incel Lemur, Audrey Hepburn in Iguanodon form, and the sassy black Styracosaurus are just a few of the memorable characters Christian, Donovan, and newcomer-to-the-show Harrison Chute encounter as they endure Dinosaur - one of Disney animation's most underwhelming and poorly titled offerings. (NOTE: The next episode won't come out till late September. Feel free to feed back in the meantime at the Earth-2.net forums or at [email protected].)

From benevolent spring sprites to (rightly) cancelled conductors, Maestro Christian and Maestra Emma traverse the brisk yet beautiful Fantasia 2000!
