Episode 88 - The Great Mouse Detective

00:00 / 1:17:23

Finally, we watch a movie that asks the big question: how should a framed portrait of your arch nemesis be displayed in your home?

Probably other questions were asked, something about Sherlock Holmes and the Disney renaissance and politicians being replaced by robots, but I think we can all agree that this is the important one.

Episode 77 – Home on the Range

Remember when Disney decided they were going to put their 2d animation out to pasture, but decided to give it one last ride? Well, this is what they made. And it sure was… a moovie.

This episode is not as punny as that description would suggest.

This might be the least we’ve ever talked about a movie! I’m pretty sure we only named two characters! I’m also pretty sure Disney is a company full of cowards who won’t let a group of bears play the jug in their terrible movie! that’s right, I’ve got opinions! Strong opinions! Strong, weird opinions!

I’ve been doing the descriptions more freeform lately, and I have exactly zero regrets.

Well, it’s that time of year again. There’s a lot of Christmas specials on this nondenominational podcast. And this is our second year in a row with Disney shorts!

Spoiler: don’t watch this movie.

Time to talk about everyone’s favorite “character who is technically a Disney princess now, but only in the same way that Jack Kirby is a Disney legend:” Anastasia! (Technically this description also applies to Princess Leia and probably a character in Avatar.)

We do talk a bit about how Disney owns everything now, and how it’s legitimately unsettling.

We’re pretty split about this movie, but it’s probably one of Don Bluth’s best films.

Wow, it almost sounds like Tony forgot to adjust his levels before recording. Hmm…

This episode, we reviewed the one Disney sequel only available on vhs: Hercules: Zero to Hero! Was it a fun romp through a Saturday morning cartoon version of Greek myth, or was it a bunch of cobbled together mythology references with barely any plot to keep them moving? Only one way to find out!

New music, new… season? Anyway, I’m trying a new format in the descriptions. I was bored, sue me.

We talk about Disney’s Hercules! It’s definitely a mess, but is is a charming mess or an infuriating one? We… boy we argue on that point. The good news is, we also manage to talk about important stuff, like Kingdom Hearts, terrible 90s CGI, GOOD 90s CGI, and that moment in Shrek when he and Donkey fight.
