A little introduction to this little show of mine

42. Lilo & Stitch

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 22:00:00 +0200

Die-hard fan Friis and first-timer Bascha join me in this episode to discuss and dissect "Lilo & Stitch" - a movie so chaotic yet so wholesome. Join us to find out about all the sequels you didn't know this movie had, what is hidden at the bottom of the Mariana Trench and why Lilo was hiding behind a pizza karton (Spoiler: it's because children cannot be trusted!) But mostly you'll hear us swoon about realistic depictions of humans and relationships.
Out two-year anniversary is coming up! So the time to find and follow us on Instagram is NOW! Find us @ofmiceandprincesses!

41. Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 22:00:00 +0200

We are finally back with an episode that just has it all: terrible puns, gaping plot holes (that we graciously overlook) and conspiracy theories.
Friis and I dive deep into "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and its production while being confused by things like an underwater volcanos that supposedly open up to the surface and gushing about the "epic floaty scene". Come along and join us!

40. The Emperor's New Groove

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 16:00:00 +0100

Jasmin, Krissi and I chat and laugh about Disney's buddy comedy with a cult following that started out as a classic Disney musical. Along the way we find out how Prince Eric finds his wives nowadays, Pacha's secret hobby (because how DID he have those falsies on hand?) and how many fanfics there are for this movie - that Krissi claims to never have read but clearly has.

39. Dinosaur

Sat, 29 Jan 2022 17:00:00 +0100

We are back and starting off this year of the podcast by talking about Disney's impressive blend of live-action backgrounds and cgi-dinosaurs that somehow failed to impress in the story-department. Join Bascha and me as we joke about Aladar the sex-taxi, dinosaurs craving water but wanting to be nowhere near the rain and us being weirded out by ... eyes.... those weird, weird eyes - or maybe that's just me.

38. Fantasia 2000

Thu, 16 Dec 2021 13:00:00 +0100

Join Bascha, Julia and me as we marvel at the work and creativity that went into this continuation of 1940's infamous Fantasia - while being somewhat disturbed by a floatmob of whales, adding somber twists to happy stories and updating the "Carnival of Animals"-section, because really, who even plays with a yo-yo anymore?
This is our last regular episode of the year, so we wish you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a wonderful start into te new year - it can only get better, right?

Special: The All-Fantasian Rejects

Thu, 02 Dec 2021 21:00:00 +0100

Wyatt and I take a trip deep into the Disney archives to look at some of the segments that unfortunately didn't make it into the final version of Fantasia and since it wasn't continued as Walt had planned, never made it to the big screen (or at least not in the intended way).
And of course we hate on "The Rite of Spring". It's a must when talking about anything Fantasia-related ;)

37. Tarzan

Fri, 19 Nov 2021 01:00:00 +0100

In this episode Jasmin, Alina and I try to focus on the plot and breathtaking visuals of the last movie of the Disney Renaissance, but it's honestly hard when there's a sexy guy in a loincloth swinging around on the screen, so please excuse the thirst. Get ready for some animal fun facts, surprising turns in the original story and... well, some jokes that go below the loincloth.

Special: Nightmare Before Christmas

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 23:00:00 +0200

It's THAT time of the year: Time to talk about spooky things, huddle up inside to hide from the fall weather and hail the Kürbiskönig! And this episode has it all, including some nice ambiant rain sounds! Krissi and I went on vacation last week and spend an evening talking about this seasonal classic that didn't quite make it into the Disney canon.

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0200

Jule, Bascha and I are here to drop all the Gospel Truths about Disney's greek superhero Hercules!

My guest Wyatt and I leave our usual chronological approach to take a trip back into not only the time before feature films were a thing in animation but also into the world of Greco-Roman mythology! Join us as dive under the sea with King Neptune, rave along the Goddess of Spring and just can't give cats a break with our golden touch, can we?

34. The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Fri, 03 Sep 2021 02:00:00 +0200

We're back from our break and Yorrick and I discuss one of our favorite movies ever! As always we discuss its making, go through it scene by scene and give some interesting background on the movie and its source material. And of course as always: We have a lot of fun along the way, discovering anachronisms and agreeing that "A guy like you" can go straight into "Hellfire", if you know what I mean.

33. Pocahontas

Thu, 29 Jul 2021 22:00:00 +0200

Krissi and I go on a canoe ride "just around the riverbend" to discuss this controversial movie and its unique visuals. Join us as we discover that our former crush on John Smith didn't really hold up, the "new worlds" he'd seen so many of might not have been that new and I have trouble saying the name "Kocoum" and accepting that they cut my favorite song of the movie.

NAAAAAAAAAAANTS INGONYAAAAMA BAGHITI BABA!!! Jasmin, Bascha and I use some of our precious time in the circle of life to talk about Disney's "The Lion King". Join us to hear about Kimba --err, Simba's adventures in the African savannah, fun and interesting stories about the making of the movie and the music and the horrifying truth behind Simba's diet in the jungle.
The mic settings were a little off, so the sound is slightly off compared to our other episodes, but don't worry, it's not that bad.

Jasmin, Bascha and I take you on a magical carpet ride into "A whole new wooooorld" (Have your drinks ready!) and along the way we talk about "swoopy" animation, a murderous monkey that sounds awfully familiar and... smelling the homeless?

Sherlock Holmes-fan Alina joined me for this episode to talk about Basil of Baker Street to see how he holds up compared to his human equivalent. But before coming to an actual conclusion we of course got sidetracked talking about spiders and horror movies and if you'd like to have even more fun listening to this episode: Have a drink everytime we mention the BBC Sherlock :)

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 13:00:00 +0200

Jasmin, Bascha and I went on the little DnD campaign that is "The Black Cauldron" to uncover the reasons behind its legendary box office desaster - though not very successfully I might add. Along the way we talk about, well, Dungeons and Dragons (literally), Skyrim and a quest-giver who seems to have a thing for his pig.
Note: There are a few audio issues in the beginning, but they stop after the 20 min mark.

Special: Raya and the Last Dragon - First Impressions

Sat, 06 Mar 2021 20:00:00 +0100

Anni was extremely excited to finally get to watch Disney's newest addition to the animated canon and dragged Krissi and Bascha along for the ride - though to be fair, they were also pretty eager.

Be aware though, there are Spoliers ahead!

Have fun with this one - We sure did!

We welcome this new year with a classic that is beloved by many: The Jungle Book. Anni and Jasmin talk about sexy tigers, take a little detour to talk about snakes and of course there is a musical rendition of "The Bare Necessities". That is - in this case - a bare necessity, isn't it?
Have a safe 2021 everyone!

Christmas Special 2020

18. The Sword in the Stone

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0100

Bascha and I take a look at probably the only Disney movie that should have had a sequel, but didn't get one. Join us as we finally discover the villainous princess we've been waiting for (and no, it's not who you think), write the Corona-song that every Disney-fan needs and marvel at this movie with perfect characters but false advertising. Enjoy!

17. 101 Dalmatians

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0100

Take a trip to London with Jasmin, Bascha and Anni to go on the delightful puppy-rescue-mission that is Disney's 1961 movie "101 Dalmatians".

15. Lady and the Tramp

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0100

My husband Bascha and I spent a "Bella Notte" in the recording booth and talked about Lady and the Tramp (after taking a little detour into the world of Disney songs)! We wonder about dogs drinking human beverages, being able to read and a pretty questionable zoo.
Unfortunately we didn't find a definitive answer to the question: In the park, did they, or did they not...?

14. Peter Pan

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 22:00:00 +0100

Jasmin, Krissi and I are aiming for the second star to the right and diving right into our next episode that takes us to Neverland! In this one we show how grown up we are by laughing about dick(ie) jokes, finding out what the parents are doing while their children are getting hypothermia from flying around in their nightclothes and discover the happy thoughts of a ship. Of course we also have to adress the obvious racism and sexism in this classic - it's a wild ride.
Come along!

13. Alice in Wonderland

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 23:00:00 +0200

A very merry Un-Birthday to you, dear listener, and Welcome to Wonderland! In this episode Bascha and Krissi join me in a trip down the rabbit-hole in which we find out that the movie actually isn't about Alice at all, we find out who Mary-Ann is (and also some other interesting facts) and we offer Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum some much needed sympathy. Also have you ever heard about the birthday-paradox?
Stay safe everyone!

12. Cinderella

Wed, 07 Oct 2020 23:00:00 +0200

Bibbidi-bobbidi-BOO-YA! We have made it through the package-era and have arrived at the classic that saved the studio: Cinderella! Krissi and Alina joined me to swoon about her dress, discuss some other versions of the Cinderella-story and do what Cinderella couldn't - find some good things about Lucifer!
Also, did you know she's really bad with plants?

Have fun with this one! We surely did and it's full of fun facts to throw around at parties :)

11. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad

Thu, 01 Oct 2020 01:00:00 +0200

We have made it to the last of the package movies and Bascha and Krissi are here to discuss it with me! In its two stories, both based on literary works, we get really confused about the scale of humans and animals, no good character is to be found in Sleepy Hollow and Ichabod's hips don't lie! There is also a little tangent about one of the perks of living in Dresden - it's the bomb!
Also, WHO EATS SALAD WITH A SPOON???
Have fun with this episode and stay safe everyone!

10. Melody Time

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0200

It is our tenth episode and Bascha and my friend Jule join me to talk about Melody Time - another one of the package movies that consists of musical shorts that range from visually pleasing to downright ridiculous.
Join us as we discover a lost Disney princess, find out how kissing came into existence and I am grossed out by... teeth.
Also, check out our recommendations in the end!
It's another great Disney podcast called Retroscoping and the Pitch Meeting series on Screen Rant's Youtube channel! Enjoy!

9. Fun and Fancy Free

Tue, 08 Sep 2020 18:00:00 +0200

Claudi and Yorrick return to discuss this movie that consists of two shorts that somehow both end up having some questionable content.
We share some fun animal facts, question the accuracy of the portrayed bear-mating rituals and we meet Willie the whale again! ... kind of... maybe... Also, my personal highlight: Someone finally announced Hi-Lo-Time with me, yay!

Two guests, ten short movies and a ton of fun - this episode has it all!
Claudi, Yorrick and I got together to have some drinks and discuss this package of seemingly random shorts that make up this little post-war gem.
There's people being thirsty for Casey, Peter's grandpa having sick beard skills and disturbing whale anatomy. Join us on this fun ride and also, find us on Instagram and Facebook to leave a message or review! We'd love to hear from you!

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 23:00:00 +0200

Bascha is here, we're having a ton of fun and we're talking about Latin America. Sounds like last episode? Well, almost. This time we break down The Three Caballeros, the continuation of Disney's Good Neighbour project during WWII.
Also, we talk about Bascha's irrational attachment to boats, once again try to crack Disney's 4-finger/5-finger code and discover the shocking fate of the Aracuan bird, while Donald wants to... "party"...Yikes.

6. Saludos Amigos

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 22:00:00 +0200

My husband Bascha and I take a little trip to South America to talk about Saludos Amigos - the first of six package movies that Disney released during and after WWII.
We manage a decent Donald imitation, find out that llamas are actually cakes and wonder about plane anatomy and arithmetic.
Sounds like a hoot? That's because it is! Join us on this lovely journey!

5. Bambi

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 19:00:00 +0200

Krissi is back to talk with me about Bambi - finally a movie she liked!
This one is really educational - we learn a lot about deer, discover the real meaning behind the word "twitterpated" and compare the English and German versions a lot.
Also, this one breaks Dumbo's record of us saying something or someone is cute.
And as always - we have a ton of fun and hope you join us!

4. Dumbo

Tue, 14 Jul 2020 18:00:00 +0200

This time my friend Jasmin and I take a trip to the circus to discuss Dumbo, Disney's fourth feature-length film. And while doing so we discover the most useless super-power ever, say the word "cute" about a gazillion times and Jasmin tries to (not so) subtly promote Winnie the Pooh. Mostly we just have a lot of fun, but we also touch on the very serious topic of racism once again and in case you missed them last time, here are some recources for you to turn to if you want to help and educate yourself:

3. Fantasia

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 21:00:00 +0200

In this episode my friend Julia and I dive into the musical wonderland that is Fantasia. I find out if there are men who play the harp, we talk about horse butts and Chernabog just wants to party.
Also, we briefly touch on the topic of racism and if you'd like to educate yourself and help in any way you can, here are some resources to turn to:

2. Pinocchio

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 11:00:00 +0200

In this episode Krissi joins in once again to talk about Disney's second feature-length movie. We make a suggestion for who should play Pinocchio in the inevitable life-action-remake, get confused by the layout of Gepetto's house and figure out what comes out of the nose of a wooden puppet.
But in all seriousness, there's also an interesting theory about Pleasure Island and as always some background info on production and most importantly - the crazy stuff that happens in the original source material. So tune in!

1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Tue, 16 Jun 2020 17:00:00 +0200

Little Disclaimer: If you're starting this podcast from this episode, please note that this episode was recorded two years ago and since then equipment, sound quality and episode structure have definitely improved. We were young and barely knew what we were doing, so please bear with us ;)
In this first episode your host Anni and her friend Krissi ramble about Disney's very first feature-length movie, discover which of the dwarfs is the ripped one and find a better murder weapon than a poisoned apple. Granted - the last one wasn't that hard.
Also, tune in for some fun facts and background information on the production and impact of the movie!
