We’re back with more Frozen II! ❄️🔥🍂🪨

08/02/2024

Some things never change… like our love for FROZEN II 🍂❄️

This week we break down arguably the best Disney animated sequel (thus far) and discuss the intense making of story. Plus we break down how much of this plot makes real sense.

07/02/2024

We loved those Disney Princess shirts so much - but Abigail already owned one. She even wore it on our Disney Trip two years ago. 😎

04/02/2024

Unfortunately there’s not a ton of Wreck It Ralph love in the Disney Parks. You can meet Ralph and Vanellope in EPCOT (Ralph was absent the day Chris & Eli went) and they appear in a few parades. Other than that you can of course find them on some merch and there are a ton of pins dedicated to that world.

Most recently in 2023 in Shanghai Disney, they added “Ralph Breaks The Dance Floor” a disco hosted by him and Vanellope.

01/02/2024

We’re back with a new episode! 💻 This week we get into the new voices that join Ralph and Vanellope as they venture through the internet. Plus we really get into the Princesses and their new looks. 👀

25/01/2024

This week we kick things off in a very modern way with RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET (2018) 🛜

Our first sequel since the Rennaisance brings us back to Ralph and Vanellope as they go through a ton of IP from our world. We discuss how this film was made and the changes in animation from the first film. And of course we talk about a big question: Did they title this movie correctly??

22/01/2024

We’re back again! After another break (for much happier reasons, this time!) we’re back and so excited to be tackling what we’ve deemed “The Modern Era”!

Get ready to return to the worlds of Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen as well as new frontiers - and of course we DO talk about Bruno! Look out for our brand new episode!

17/12/2023

There were thousands of clay miniatures used to make The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack skellington alone had over 40 heads. Check out Tim Burton & Henry Selick along with many hardworking crew members and artists in some BTS photos.

24/07/2023

In our mailbag this week we talked about the voices actors of Disney Princesses and how old they are compared to the characters they play.

Did you know that despite every Disney Princess being a teenager, only ONE voice actor was a teenager while recording their lines?

Look at this handy little graph to see the differences!

20/07/2023

It’s MAILBAG TIME! ✉️

It’s time to discuss the Disney Revival. Breathe easy because these films brought Disney back on top with hit after hit after hit!

The voice behind fake pop star Gazelle is real pop star Shakira!

Did you know that Mark Walton, the voice of Rhino wasn’t even a voice actor? While on production of BOLT, Mark provided the temporary scratch voice. Test audiences (and the team) loved him so much they gave him the role. Check the video to see his live reaction! #voiceover #voiceactor #disney #disneyanimation #animatedfilm

Walt Disney was a visionary who had some very wise words to share. This quote was the driving force behind “Meet The Robinsons” but can be applied to so much more. Enjoy your weekends everyone, and keep moving forward! #disney #disneyquotes #inspiration #motivation #keepmoving #keepmovingforward

Check out this crazy combination of Captain Hook and Silver’s cyborg arm! To test out the new pirate character’s hybrid animation, the animators looked to the classic villain. What is your favorite use of CGI/3D animation in Treasure Planet? 🪝

Did you know that a last minute change needed to be made to the ending of Lilo & Stitch? Due to the recent 9/11 attacks, the finale changed an airplane flying through a city into a space ship flying through mountains! Check out the side by side footage (provided by Vox) here!

The One That Re-Started It All

Welcome to the Renaissance! We kick off this historic age with Little Mermaid (1989)! 🐚🔱 In the first half of our under-the-sea discussion we gush over this historic film and how it has effected all of our lives!

(Please excuse any sappiness along the way) #thelittlemermaid #ariel #ursula #disney #disneypodcast #podcast #disneygay #partofyourworld #podcastersofinstagram #disneyrenaissance #renaissance #howardashman
