A little introduction to this little show of mine
Published 08/05/22
Die-hard fan Friis and first-timer Bascha join me in this episode to discuss and dissect "Lilo & Stitch" - a movie so chaotic yet so wholesome. Join us to find out about all the sequels you didn't know this movie had, what is hidden at the bottom of the Mariana Trench and why Lilo was hiding behind a pizza karton (Spoiler: it's because children cannot be trusted!) But mostly you'll hear us swoon about realistic depictions of humans and relationships. Out two-year anniversary is coming up!...

We are finally back with an episode that just has it all: terrible puns, gaping plot holes (that we graciously overlook) and conspiracy theories.  Friis and I dive deep into "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and its production while being confused by things like an underwater volcanos that supposedly open up to the surface and gushing about the "epic floaty scene".

Jasmin, Krissi and I chat and laugh about Disney's buddy comedy with a cult following that started out as a classic Disney musical. Along the way we find out how Prince Eric finds his wives nowadays, Pacha's secret hobby (because how DID he have those falsies on hand?) and how many fanfics there are for this movie - that Krissi claims to never have read but clearly has.    Please don't forget to rate and review us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Facebook!    Find us on Instagram...

We are back and starting off this year of the podcast by talking about Disney's impressive blend of live-action backgrounds and cgi-dinosaurs that somehow failed to impress in the story-department. Join Bascha and me as we joke about Aladar the sex-taxi, dinosaurs craving water but wanting to be nowhere near the rain and us being weirded out by ... eyes.... those weird, weird eyes - or maybe that's just me.     If you're interested to find out more about the making of this movie:...

Join Bascha, Julia and me as we marvel at the work and creativity that went into this continuation of 1940's infamous Fantasia - while being somewhat disturbed by a floatmob of whales, adding somber twists to happy stories and updating the "Carnival of Animals"-section, because really, who even plays with a yo-yo anymore? This is our last regular episode of the year, so we wish you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a wonderful start into te new year - it can only get better, right? Please...

Wyatt and I take a trip deep into the Disney archives to look at some of the segments that unfortunately didn't make it into the final version of Fantasia and since it wasn't continued as Walt had planned, never made it to the big screen (or at least not in the intended way). And of course we hate on "The Rite of Spring". It's a must when talking about anything Fantasia-related ;)    Please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts and Facebook!    Find us on Instagram...

 In this episode Jasmin, Alina and I try to focus on the plot and breathtaking visuals of the last movie of the Disney Renaissance, but it's honestly hard when there's a sexy guy in a loincloth swinging around on the screen, so please excuse the thirst.

We're back from our break and Yorrick and I discuss one of our favorite movies ever! As always we discuss its making, go through it scene by scene and give some interesting background on the movie and its source material.

Krissi and I go on a canoe ride "just around the riverbend" to discuss this controversial movie and its unique visuals. Join us as we discover that our former crush on John Smith didn't really hold up, the "new worlds" he'd seen so many of might not have been that new and I have trouble saying the name "Kocoum" and accepting that they cut my favorite song of the movie.  Please consider following through on our recommendations!   Here is the link to the organization Krissi was talking about:...
