]]> Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Long time no hear, but I return with the archetypal romance of 1950's Cinderella. With the help of friend/fashion historian Marley Healy, we break down the lewks of the Royal Ball, as well as the depiction of romance in early Disney films. In this case, it helps if your Prince Charming's a Christian Dior stan.

]]> Here it is, the moment of truth! 20 Disney animated films have won our hearts and inflicted rage upon Ray and I (Wyatt). Together, we begin the rigorous task of determining which are beauties or beasts. The ending is actually rather satisfying.

*BTW, opinions are like bum holes; everyone's got their own. So don't get pi**y if your fave isn't ours.*

*Side Note* The Roger Edens anecdote is accurate, but it was attributed to the wrong movie. The anecdote derived from him observing sneak previews of 1939's Babes in Arms, not 1941's Babes on Broadway.

These titans of modern animated filmmaking filled co-host Raeley and I with such hope for a new era in Disney animation... and then they "broke" the internet.

P.S. This was recorded long before the public announcement that Auli'i Cravalho will be the executive producer of the live-action remake of Moana. We here at Disney Reel to Reel support further media representation for all cultures, including Pacific Islanders. We just have a beef with the Walt Disney Studios for not taking on more innovative projects. But what else is new in Hollywood?

]]> Feelin' like an empty husk with this era ranking! It's all emojis, snowflakes, and trust issues from here.

At least I got co-host Raeley to go down this hole with. Here we rank Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen II, and Raya and the Last Dragon.  Follow us "into the unknown" as we trek through another Disney slump.

I'm trying out a new format/series this week. Rather than discussing 10 or so films for an hour and a half, I'll discuss a three-minute scene from a 72-year-old film for fifteen minutes. But boy, was there a wealth of material to plow through. This is definitely recommended to Alice in Wonderland stans and affionados.

*Nearly everything shared is accurate except the chronology of English asylums. The first known facility was built in 1247. But the 19th century was really when patients began to be treated like human beings, so I'm not too far off. You go, Harriet Mattineau and John Conolly!!!*

]]> This month, Christmas came early. Yes, I deviate from the timeline by 26 years, from Kansas City to Culver City, to discuss a hardcore fave, Metro Goldwyn Mayer's 1948 musical comedy, The Pirate. Joining me is the woman behind Gene Kelly's contemporary relevance, Patricia Ward Kelly. We cover everything of interest, such as his and Judy Garland's friendship, the deleted "Voodoo" number, and, essentially, the seductive rascal that is Gene Kelly, hot pants and all.

You can find her via these links:

But this month, Anni (@Of Mice & Princesses) and I talk SEX, DRUGS, and WONDERLAND. That's right; what started as a focused discussion on the 1903 Alice later dissolved into a talk about the 1976 X-rated movie musical of the same name. It remains a fun, informative time, but uh... just know we are not above adult content here at DRtR.
