Cinderella (1950)

It's a beautiful night, and the DJ duo is having a romantic spaghetti dinner in a back alley. In this episode Damion waxes poetic on the rom-com genre, and Jeremy gets jazzy! We stand in awe of Disney's ability to make even dogs (and cats) racially insensitive, but boy that Tramp sure is dreamy! Stick around to the end if you want to finally find out what Trusty's pa Old Reliable used to say––and DJ, pull out all the stops to wine and dine a couple stray dogs, and serenade us while we slurp spaghetti!

Get your fairy dust ready, ‘cause the duo is headed to Neverland! In this episode Jeremy falls in love with a pirate, and Damion gets overly analytical and philosophical about this children’s movie. Plus if you listen closely, you just might catch the big reveal…IT’S ALL A METAPHOR! DJ, please skip the racist songs and give us the courage to fly!

DJ Disney is late! For a very important podcast! The duo must journey down the rabbit hole and into Wonderland to discuss Disney’s trippy and psychedelic classic! Why not celebrate your un-birthday by joining us for a mad tea party? DJ, crank those wacky Lewis Carroll lyrics and beware the Jabberwocky!

Put on your glamiest gown, because we’re going to a ball! (once we finish all our chores, of course). DJ Disney dives into the studio’s triumphant return to the princess tale, and shares their thoughts on this new era of Disney, weathering their first major critical disagreement in the process! DJ: drop the beat like a fairy godmother, cause this party ends at midnight!

Grab your tissue boxes, because the duo is venturing into the meadow and reliving traumatic childhood memories with Disney’s haunting visual poem about the cycles of birth and death: Bambi! Tune in to hear about the making of this impressive film, the timeless lessons it imparts, and a vital public awareness message about the dangers of becoming twitterpated! DJ, cue the nature sounds and teach us how to walk on our trembling fawn legs!

DJ Disney heads to the circus to discuss the irresistibly adorable, much-beloved—and also highly controversial—fourth animated feature from Walt Disney Studios: Dumbo! Everything from the film’s unique animation style, to the acid-trip “Pink Elephants on Parade,” to the overtly racist content is discussed; trust us, this ain’t the film you remember! DJ: Crank the frenetic circus tunes and teach us how to fly!

Things take a dark turn as the duo ties a rock to their donkey-tail and dives into Disney’s surprisingly twisted and trauma-inducing second feature film. Embarrassing childhood secrets are revealed, unanswerable questions pondered, and Disney reaches a whole new level of horny! DJ, pump the tunes and teach us how to be a real boy!

Let the journey begin! DJ Disney tackles the first ever animated feature film from Walt Disney studios, covering fun facts, our responses to the film, best characters and songs, cultural impact, and more!
