This week, Dai and David raid the Disney vault -- and no, not for the classics. We're starting with the golden age of Disney Channel Original Movies where the outfits were chaotic, the acting was camp, and the life lessons were just capitalist bootstraps dipped in glitter. From Smart House to Cheetah Girls, we ask: were we watching teen rebellion...or corporate conditioning with a pop hook and a dance break?
Then we level up (or down?) into the world of Disney Feature Films where the budgets got bigger, the gowns got gayer, and the propaganda got much sneakier. We're talkin' princesses, daddy issues, justice for Cogsworth, and some very suspicious land ownership laws. We laugh. We cry. We side with the villain. Because in the end... Scar was a labor organizer.
Disney raised us, confused us, and low-key radicalized us. And sometimes it also made us gay. Thanks, Lee Thompson Young.
