THC 84: Walt Disney Animatronic, Disney Personality on The Hub Crawl, Adding Marvel and Star Wars to Disney, and the Worst Disney Animated Movie

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Dan and JR as they discuss their thoughts seeing the Walt Disney animatronic and the reactions of other fans, what Disney personality they would invite, living or dead, to The Hub Crawl couch and what they would ask them, wether adding Marvel and Star Wars enhances or dilutes Disney, and what Disney animated movie they feel is the hardest to sit through. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Now that we’ve all seen the Walt Disney robot what did they get right? What did they mess up? How are the fans reacting and do you think it’s reasonable? Question 2: You get to invite one Disney personality—Imagineer, animator, or executive—living or dead-to sit on The Hub Crawl couch. Who is it, and what three questions must you ask them? (Is three questions too many?) Question 3: As somebody who grew up in the 80s, Disney had what, at least to me, felt like a very defined image that it presented in its works and parks. Colors were vibrant, good and evil were often pretty straight forward, and there was a certain degree of what I would consider “innocent wonder”. in 2009, Disney acquired Marvel. Not to be outdone, they acquired Star Wars in 2012. Both of those properties feel like a departure from their 20th century offerings. Do you feel that the addition of Marvel and Star Wars to the Disney catalog enhances or dilutes what Disney used to be? Question 4: What Disney animated movie do you think is the hardest to sit through? Bonus Question: What perk(s) would you like to see Disney add for MagicKey holders. If you don’t currently have a Key, what (aside from lowering the price) could Disney change about the current program that would entice you to get one?
