  • We were preparing for a glorious three hour finale, but only had a minute and a half! So this week Josie, Kait, and Adam are sharing a 15-minute preview of this season’s bonus episode on The Magic of Disney Animation. Do you remember the Magic of Disney Animation at Disney-MGM Studios? This opening day attraction was a star in its own right, playing an important part in creating some of our favorite Disney Renaissance films right inside of the theme park gates! In this episode, Josie and Kait discuss the many versions of this attraction and why its original concept would need to be modified much sooner than Disney expected.

    We'll be back in two weeks with an episode that's worth the wait! See ya real soon
