So this was supposed to be like a quickisode, which is our term for short 15-20 minute episodes. Then there were some MAJOR MMO developments. First, we decided upon a new series rewatch, and this episode became the obvious / perfect time to introduce you to what will become a new weekly show for us until the end of June (hint hint). We also turned back into children, foul mouthed manchildren to be sure, but the Disney Animated Studios took us back to better and simpler times.

After Mike 1 ascribes “eras” to the 5 distinct phases of the history of Disney animated films, and after we discuss some highlights, we dive into our top 5’s plus a few honorable mentions. Then of course, we cannot resist listing all of the notable Disney animation studio songs - that we could remember (or watch on youtube) before we count down our top 5’s there as well. How could we resist?

Again, don’t miss our huge announcement at the top of the show. It’s gonna be a big part of our spring programming every week. (Are you adequately teased yet?) But also enjoy our many anecdotes and self diagnosed psychoanalysis on our own childhoods, and better yet, as we heckle one another. This was definitely one of the most fun episodes we’ve EVER recorded. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

If you liked this episode, you’d probably also dig our Best Original Song halfisodes where we’ve reviewed many of these songs in their Oscar categories. There’s a playlist on our Soundcloud account, where you can find episodes on The Lion King, Aladdin, Cinderella, Frozen, & more! We’ve also been all over the recent Disney Animated Oscar Nominee in Wreck It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet and several of the recent Pixar films as well reviews of Mary Poppins & the Returns.

As always, please tell us your favorites, whether you want to count down your own Top 5 or just give us your number 1’s. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & listen to us on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you listen to podcasts. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar!
