Lilo and Stitch was a charming movie about a girl and her sister experiencing and helping each other through the trauma of losing their parents and learning to be an ohana. Then Disney made 3 more movies based mainly of the wacky, farting alien who appeared in their lives to help them do this and grow as people. Then they made a TV series based on that farting alien and all of the other farting aliens. This is movie is the culmination of…all of that. And we can only pray it will remain so. Join Audrey, Jimmy, and Dan as they talk about this assault on the senses while discovering the power of aloha and a dubious legal situation involving a lawyer who is both cool and real which, let’s face it, they might deserve this time. Take a listen, cousins!

Taking place between Bambi's mother's death and Bambi shown as a young adult buck, the film follows Bambi's relationship with his father, The Great Prince of the Forest, and Bambi's efforts to earn his father's love for him. It was first titled Bambi and the Great Prince, but was renamed Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest and later Bambi II. This movie was released theatrically in nearly every other developed country outside of the U.S. Some of us think it is good enough to have been released in the U.S. but alas, it was left to the annals of straight to video. It was a pleasant watch, father son coming of age tale. enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch is a true sequel to the original Theatrical release Lilo and Stitch. Stitch!: the Movie (recently reviewed on Scraping the vault) was a spin off and extended pilot episode of the lilo and stitch TV show. Much like many of these Disney toon studios films which were the most realized episodes of short lived animated series see: Tarzan and Jane, Belle's Magical world etc. Lilo and Stitch 2 is a great sequel. Period. Well produced, great acting performances great animation etc. As Bob Iger takes over the Walt Disney Company, the acquisition of Pixar and John Lasseter now creative head of all Disney Animation, we are nearing the beginning of the end of these straight to video sequels befor we enter the tinkerverse.

In 1996 The Walt Disney Company gathered several of Hollywood’s most talented filmmakers to create their first live action remake of a classic animated film: One Hundred & One Dalmatians. Did you get tired reading all those words? That’s ok, because the movie they made was 101 Dalmatians. We watched this movie. You know those episodes where one of us has a strong feeling about the movie and the other two don’t agree? This is one of those…and it’s not the usual dynamic. Join your podcast besties as we break the seal on Disney’s greatest contribution to civilization - the live action remakes - before we carry on watching their second greatest contribution: a bajillion Tinkerbelle movies.

Audrey is back from her trip to Australia doing good deeds for the improv community and she’s just in time to watch Tarzan 2 with Jimmy and Dan so that you don’t have to. Tarzan 2 is, of course, a movie about Tarzan as a young child who, of course, meets up with a grizzled old man gorilla (proper pronunciation revealed in the episode) who asks Tarzan to keep a secret between the two of them. And, like all situations where an old man asks a young boy to keep a secret from the community at large, nothing bad happens! Except for Phil Collins songs but we live in a world of lowered expectations at this point so why not have all of those things happen! It’s another episode where Audrey and Jimmy seem to like the movie and Dan tries to tell them they are wrong with just about the usual outcome. But he has the last laugh because he’s writing the description for the episode this time. Take that!

We are thrilled to welcome Cheryl and Sheila (which is slang for girl in Austrailia) from improv group Hacky Sacks in Khaki Slacks to discuss the details of 2005's Mulan 2. This is a funny one guys. These 2 Australian improvisers watched Mulan 2 and came on to our show to discuss the details. We are sorry Audrey missed this one, but Cheryl and Sheila did a great job filling in for her. Mulan 2 or what Jimmy thought would be Mulan Too is a fun continuation of the story of Mulan, The Chinese hero who helped defeat the huns. Will there be unnecessary romance and plenty of Three's company moments? Yes. Will there be plenty of background noise from drinking glasses by Cheryl? Absolutely. Will this be a great film? You decide. Have fun! We sure did. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
