39: Animated Films in the Parks: The 1970s

Nowadays it might be easier to spot a disco ball or jumpsuit than it is to find any signs of the Disney films of the 1970s in Walt Disney World. This week we discuss why movies like Robin Hood, The Aristocats, and The Rescuers have such little presence in the parks . . . and why the classic character Winnie the Pooh has stood the test of time.

In our roundup of the latest Disney news, we talk poop-inspired snacks at Animal Kingdom (really!), Frozen Summer Fun at Hollywood Studios, the latest live-action announcement, and more. Plus, in another round of “It’s the Small Things After All” we gush about our favorite hidden gems in Walt Disney World.

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!
