We are back and on video now! This time we dive into the question of whether or not Bob Iger has become a Disney Villain?

Feb 18, 2019

A little over one week ago, Disney debuted the genie that will take center stage in the live-action version of Aladdin. The blue version of Will Smith definitely broke the internet, but probably not in the way Disney was hoping for. 

Before we get there, we talk a bit about Ron Miller, the former Disney CEO who recently passed away. Then we jump into Frozen 2 and talk about why the teaser was so epic. That and much, much more!

Dec 3, 2018

With any luck, we'll have a trailer for Avengers by the time you read this. But as of 1:46pm ET on Sunday afternoon, said trailer has not arrived. So this week we dive into the Artemis Fowl teaser and ask whether Disney can make a successful young adult movie. Then we examine Fox's attempt to make Deadpool PG-13 in Once Upon a Deadpool and why the debate over the the "live-action" version of "The Lion King" is far from silly. Plus, will you still subscribe to Disney Plus if it has ads? Cause it will probably have ads.

That and much, much more. For the week of December 3, this is episode 210 of The Disney Movie Review

Mar 26, 2018

News was light this week, so we cover a few topics then dive into whether Walt Disney's vision for the Disney company is alive or dead.

That and more! Plus, don't forget to enter our contest to win The Best of Cars!! Just write a review on iTunes and post the screenshot on Twitter or at The Disney Movie Database Facebook Page.

This week Disney announced it will pull Marvel and Star Wars from Netflix, which will totally remove their content from the platform. In addition, Bob Iger said he expects their profit to be flat year-over-year which made the stock drop. ANOTHER Star Wars film loses ANOTHER director and Vegas gives the odds on who will replace him. And Disney is not whitewashing the live action Aladdin, but some people think they are. Plus, we talk about those potential names for Hollywood Studios. That and much, much more. For the week of September 11, this is episode 148 of The Disney Movie Review

Aug 28, 2017

This week Disney is staying out of a plan to bring movies to customers faster and Zootopia 2 gets confirmed. Plus we give a quick overview on how you can get in on the fun of Force Friday 2. For the week of August 28, 2017, this is episode 147 of The Disney Movie Review.

Aug 14, 2017

This week we break down Disney's controversial decision to leave Netflix. We put you in Bob Iger's chair and take a deep dive into all the factors that led to this move. Then we take a look at the clues that let us know what Disney's new service might look like. And we can't talk about streaming without at least mentioning ESPN and the raw deal they are getting from the NFL. That and much, much more. For the week of August 14, this is episode 145 of The Disney Movie Review.

Nov 30, 2015

This week, we look at Pixar’s new movie The Good Dinosaur. We break down the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This week I interview Disney Biographer Dr. Steven Watts - one of the historians featured in the recent PBS Documentary Walt Disney: American Experience. I ask him what the documentary got right and wrong, whether he was racist against different groups of people, One thing Walt Disney did that made him so successful.

In this episode, we ask Dr. Watts:

  1. What did he think of the documentary?
  2. What was it like to do research in the Disney archives? 
  3. How did Walt see what others could not see?
  4. What are the human parts of Walt Disney that we often do not see?
  5. Was Disney racist between certain groups? 
  6. In the documentary Dr. Watts said Disney didn’t think through the problems of the Depression. What did he mean by that?
  7. Would Walt Disney have been able to be Walt Disney without Roy as his brother?
  8. What about Elias? How do we wrap around such a controversial figure? 
  9. Walt was very intent on the studio being named after him. Did that cause conflict?
  10. Do you you believe in the idea of a Disney Renaissance?
  11. what does it take to make history?

This week on episode 29 of The Disney Movie Review, Pixar releases its first full-length trailer for The Good Dinosaur, but the trailer has no dialogue. That’s not an accident and we’ll tell you why. Ant-Man opened with more than $58 Million last weekend beating Universal Pictures’ Minions. We look into the formula Marvel used to beat Minions. GQ magazine pranks Lucasfilm and there is nothing they can do about it. ESPN is in a lot of financial trouble and I am one big reason why. That and much, much more.
