A NEW DISNEY PODCAST SERIES EMERGES! Mike & Megan sit down with Ria Carrogan & Spider-Dan for a new series; Disney Discussions! These four will be at the helm of the series, which will feature deep-dives into the huge pool of Disney movies and for this episode they start at the top; each person “champions” a favourite Disney movie of theirs to give a good baseline of what makes a great Disney movie (more details below). Spider-Dan recently did the first episode (a prologue, if you will) of Disney Discussions with Angry Andy’s partner Natalie, they discussed female villains’ many qualities and reflect on how they compare to a modern feminists’ view, especially compared to non-villainous Disney characters, listen here: https://spoti.fi/34j579H
This week, in part 1 of their discussion, Mike starts the discussion with his champion; Hercules! After an in-depth discussion of the gang’s history with Hercules, it’s animation, characters, themes, music and connections to Greek mythology, Spider-Dan takes the reigns and talks about his champion; Beauty & The Beast (1991)! After an in-depth discussion on this (& Mike’s somewhat opposing viewpoints on it), Dan & Ria explain the specific importance of Belle as a character and Belle’s impact on Disney movies going forward.
Next week part 2 of this conversation will be released (it’s currently available for all Patreon supporters), where Ria champions Moana and then Megan finishes the discussion with Tangled – the gang also talk about how older films paved the way for movies like Moana & Tangled to be made before their discussion comes to an end.
