Welcome to Episode 2 of The Wonderful World of Disney Villains podcast! Today I'm talking about why I believe Disney villains are relatable and, as you can tell by the length of the episode, I have a lot to say.

 

Below is a list of all the sources I refer to throughout the episode.

Book, articles, and essay sources:
