BONUS - Patreon Rewind - First Trailer for Wish
Enjoy some audio from the back of the vault!
About a year ago, we sat down to watch the first full trailer for the new movie Wish and recorded our impressions for Patreon. We made a few predictions, almost all of which have already been proven wrong. Mary spends entirely too much time trying to figure out where the film is set. But mostly we just talked about how much we enjoy the color palette and the music, and of course, Alan Tudyk...
episode 1: 01 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Part One
"We've got to get these two kids in love."
Walt Disney premiered his first feature length animated film on December 21st, 1937. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (that's dwarfs with an F) changed everything. In this first part of our discussion, we cover the enormous task of making the film during the Great Depression, the dubious fashion choices, and more. Part two will be released on December 28th, 2022.

episode 2: 02 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Part Two
"Women and Their Wiles"
Welcome back to our discussion of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). This time we're talking about making pies, rotoscoping, and just how much the Evil Queen enjoys being a crone. Next up: Pinnochio (1940) in two weeks.

"An Overly Flirtatious Goldfish"
What a difference three years can make. Pinocchio premiered in 1940, and despite the massive advancement in animation skill and technology, it was a commercial flop because of bad timing. This time around we talk about World War II, why Geppetto has a Germen accent, and why Stromboli is a problem. Part Two is coming on January 25th, 2023.

episode 5: 05 - Fantasia Part One
"The Racist Mushrooms Were a Surprise"
It feels like we were just at the theater. Disney released two features in 1940, a big gamble that did not pay off for the company. Fantasia hit theaters in November. What was meant to be the first in a series, it was instead a massive commercial failure. But this bold experiment works more often than it doesn't, and we'll talk about it...
episode 6: 06 - Fantasia Part Two
"Don't be judgemental about these lizards."
We're back from getting snacks during intermission and now it's time to talk dinosaurs, centaurs, and hippos, oh my. The second half of our talk on Fantasia covers the Rite of Spring, The Pastoral Symphony, Dance of the Hours, and Night on Bald Mountain. Gretchen explains why Rite of Spring is one of her favorite pieces of music while Mary revisits her dinosaur phase...
episode 7: 07 - Dumbo Part One
"It doesn't matter if Elephants have feelings, they have bones."
Maybe joining the circus isn't the dream we all thought it would be. Disney Studios was facing severe money problems after Pinocchio and Fantasia failed to make money, so they rushed to get Dumbo into theaters and it shows. It's a lean and fast story with a lot of weird choices. We cover catty elephants, why Mr...
episode 8: 08 - Dumbo Part Two
"Put that GIF in there, that's racist."
Okay fine, it's time to talk about the crows and it's just real complicated y'all. We also get distracted by cravats, we sit in on a therapy session about bullying, and we talk about letting historical figures be messy.
We are finally taking a trip to the woods to visit Bambi in two weeks, tune in on April 5th! Hit subscribe so that you don't miss it...
episode 9: 09 - Bambi Part One
"There's not even a content warning!"
Who's ready to spend some time in the woods? After many years of effort, Disney finally released Bambi in 1942. They took their time and we both thought it was worth the wait. We talk about Mary's new favorite artist, Tyrus Wong; the Bambi effect, and yes, we do talk about Bambi's mom...
episode 10: 10 - Bambi Part Two
"Man Is In The Forest"
We start out talking about spring and how exhausting some of these romantic tropes tend to be, but like the movie we quickly move into some of the really scary parts of the film - the hunters and the forest fire. Along the way we sidetrack about anime for a little bit, try not to spend to long on the mating habits of white tailed deer, and talk about how much we love the song Little April Shower. All in all, we definitely recommend this one...
