Talking Disney Magic

Welcome to Talking Disney Magic! Join Vanessa Mulcahey and IGN's Adam Bankhurst as they not only talk about the latest news in the world of Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and more, but also review the biggest movies in Disney and Pixar's incredible catalog!

This week, we are ranking and reviewing Onward, the film that sadly kicked off the COVID-19 Pandemic-Era of Pixar, and we discuss why it is a truly special movie that has awesome ideas and deals with grief in such a special way... even if the ending wasn't what Adam was hoping for.

We'd love to know your thoughts, reviews, and questions on Onward and everything else in the world of Disney, so be sure to send them in to [email protected]!

Next week, we will be ranking and reviewing Lilo & Stitch in anticipation of the live-action remake that we'll also be covering, and we'd love you to be part of that conversation as well!
