33: Animated Films in the Parks: The 1960s

Puppies and wizards and bears – Oh my! In continuing our series on Disney’s animated films and their presence in the parks, this week we turn our eyes to the three movies of the ’60s: 101 Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone, and The Jungle Book. Has Disney World done these films justice? Could they stand to have a bigger presence in the parks?

In another “Eating Around the World” segment, we check out the menu and atmosphere of San Angel Inn Restaurante in the Mexico pavilion at Epcot. Plus, in “You Be the Judge” we debate the All-Star resorts, Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ name, and a new Fantasmic! scene. Join the conversation now!

28: Live-Action Disney Films: Passing Trend or Winning Model?

Leave a comment

With Cinderella in theaters and films like The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan on the docket, live-action remakes seem to be Disney’s latest obsession. Is it working? Is it necessary? This week we discuss the live-action remakes, both past and future, and what we think about them. We even do a bit of armchair casting and talk about who we’d like to see in the upcoming Winnie the Pooh movie.

To kick off the episode, we review Be Our Guest Restaurant and talk about a few hidden gems at the parks.

Leave a comment

As we continue our series on Disney’s animated films and their presence in the parks, this week we focus on the films of the 1950s. From towering castles to spinning teacups to flying ships, we discuss what films like Cinderella and Lady and the Tramp brought to the Disney parks.

In another Mad Chatter game, we put our listening skills to the test as we try to guess the attraction based on a single line of dialogue. Plus, Jeremy and Matt report on their recent visits to Animal Kingdom and the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.

23: Animated Films in the Parks: 1937-1949

Leave a comment

One of the charms of Walt Disney World is its ability to bring the Disney animated films to life right before your eyes. This week we focus on the films of the 1930s and 40s and talk about their representation (or lack thereof) in the four parks. We discuss the surprising number of nods to The Three Caballeros, as well as the disappointing lack of Bambi references.

We also chat about the many exciting changes going on at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, plus the beginning of the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot.

In another Mad Chatter game, Matt and Derek go head to head in “Magic Kingdom By the Numbers.” All this and more can be heard on episode 23 of The Mad Chatters Podcast.
