Wishing all of my followers and listeners a very Merry Christmas, as we celebrate the most amazing gift ever given!

The newest episode of Toon My Heart is out now, a "Showtune My Heart" episode in which I and guest Donnie Lakes of Ride Of Your Life Ministries talk about the most iconic song from one of his favorite animated films, Toy Story. In discussing Randy Newman's "You've Got a Friend in Me," we talk about what it means to have a friend in God, and how we can share that friendship with others as well. You can find it at toonmyheart.com or wherever you stream podcasts (Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Goodpods, etc.)

And if you enjoy that episode, please also check out the episode of Donnie's podcast in which he interviewed me and we talked even more about favorite animated films, how to navigate movie-watching with our kids, where the name "Toon My Heart" came from, and more! Just search for "Ride of Your Life" wherever you listen to podcasts and scroll down to Season 4, Episode 17, titled "Toons with Truth."

The most-listened-to episode of Toon My Heart on Spotify this year was "Inside Out and the Value of Sadness" with special guest Jay Nepomuceno of The Climb! Definitely one of my favorites.

Happy 30th anniversary to DreamWorks Animation! What are your favorite DreamWorks movies? I had a tough time narrowing it down, but here are my top 5:

1. Prince of Egypt
2. The Wild Robot
3. How to Train Your Dragon
4. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
5. Chicken Run

Unless my plans change (as they sometimes do), one of these will be the subject of the next long episode of Toon My Heart...
