In this episode of Weekend Wonderland, we discover other Grimm Fairy Tales that have not used by Disney and decide if they would make good animated Disney movies. (Spoiler alert - they’re… weird!) We also chat about the news that Disneyland’s AP program is discontinued, that Disney will pause political donations to anyone who voted to reject the electoral college, and that the Muppets are withholding news from us, among other stories!
