Although the films of the 1980s are poorly represented in Walt Disney World, this week we discuss what was going on at Walt Disney Animation Studios during this tumultuous decade and how these movies fared at the theater. Join us as we talk about the darker films of the 80s, such as The Fox and the Hound, The Black Cauldron, and The Great Mouse Detective, as well as the film that got Disney back on track: The Little Mermaid.

Also on show 45, Matthew reviews Trattoria al Forno Restaurant at Disney’s BoardWalk, and in the game “What’s in a Name?” we test our knowledge on the titles of Disney World attractions, shops, and restaurants.
