Dark Disney: Crossovers

Ah, Winnie the Pooh. A silly old bear, for sure. Unless he wasn't just a bear. This special episode features Winnie the Pooh and Pennywise. Is there a connection here? Join in and decide for yourself.

In Belle's introduction song she visits the bookshop. There she is given her "favorite book." But what exactly is it? She gives some clues that seem to point to one of two other Disney films: Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty. On the other side of things, Hercules has three Fates that seem too familiar. Could these three ladies have once been the witches we see in The Black Cauldron? Join us in our discussion today.

Ever make a wish on a shooting star? Hercules has. At least, he thought it was a star. Others believe it was two romantics on a joyride across the world. They also believe that the people who made the little green men toys in the claw machine based it off of the Broov during their visit. What do you think?

What does Inside Out and Toy Story have in common? Possibly Riley, if you believe one of these theories. If you believe the other, Riley's dad. Just don't try to cross them, it could get weird. Also, what if I told you that Tramp and Dodger could be related? Listen to the evidence and our discussion to decide for yourself.

Have you ever wondered where Shere Khan was during that 10 years he was missing from the jungles of India? There is a scene where he is stalking a deer, one that looks a little like Bambi's mother. Could that be where he was? Today we discuss this theory along with one that may suggest Riley is the Hendrickson's relative.

Have you ever wondered about Eeyore's origins? Was he always this depressed donkey hanging out in the Hundred Acre Wood or did he get his start at the notorious Pleasure Island? Maybe that's why he's so depressed all of the time. What about the mouse world? Could it be possible that Basil and Dawson have a deep connection with Miss Bianca and Bernard? Let's explore these cross-universe theories together.

When you think about it, not too much stands out between The Little Mermaid and Hercules, aside from the animation style. But what if there was a deeper, familial connection? Who's side of the family could it be on? And at first glance Winnie the Pooh has absolutely nothing to do with The Rescuers. But look a little harder and you might spot something that stands out. Stick with us and see what your eyes may have missed.

At first glance it may seem that Alameda Slim and Winchell P. Bickerstaff are two completely different people...and that may be the case. But one theorist believes that they are the same person. We also have another theory about 101 Dalmatians' Thunderbolt being a predecessor for the television series Bolt. Listen to the evidence and decide for yourself.

In the world of Disney, characters can be in the same area without being in the same film. They could traverse the same grounds, look at the same stars, and interact with the same plants. This week we take a look at Winnie the Pooh and a connection to The Jungle Book. We also explore if Stitch was on this world in the days of ancient China before becoming Lilo's family.

Maui, the trickster demigod, was known for many things. He made the sun last longer, pulled islands from the sea, and almost destroyed humanity by stealing Te Fiti's heart and turning her into Te Ka. Moana may not be the only film Maui has sabotaged. Here we discuss if Maui caused the Druun and see if the Brave Little Toaster exists in the world of Toy Story,

Have you ever watched Mulan and thought she resembles Raya? What about the Croods land looking similar to Raya's? Does Nick Wilde from Zootopia remind you of a certain thief who stole from the rich and gave to the poor? This week we discuss if Mulan and Raya are from the same place, if Raya and the Croods are from the same time period, and if Nick is a descendant of Robin Hood.

What do Inside Out 1 and 2, Finding Nemo, and Finding Dory have in common? Well, if you believe these theories, a couple of characters. What about The Croods, Mulan, and Raya and the Last Dragon? Now, we're talking about location and time. These are a few...interesting...theories discussed today. Hop on in, the water's fine.

Disney is notorious for splashing in little subtle callbacks to other films in their archives. In this episode we are going to try to determine if there is enough evidence to confirm a theory about Pudge the fish from Lilo & Stitch actually being Maui from Moana. We will also see if we can determine who, if either, is Mother Gothel: Megara from Hercules or the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
