Part of Your World: The Disney Animated Podcast

Christian and Emma close out Part of Your World's main run with reviews of Moana 2 (with spoilers) and the centenary short film Once Upon a Studio, as well as discussing the highs, lows, and surprises of their journey through the Disney animated canon. Have these animated films lost anything throughout their nine-decade existence? What stories and places would the siblings like to see depicted in future films? And who takes the crown as Disney's greatest onscreen villain?

Before concluding the podcast's main run, Christian and Emma analyze Wish - Walt Disney Animation Studio's cinematic celebration of its 100th birthday - featuring Anita, Captain Kirk, a goat voiced by Clayface, and numerous nods to previous Disney films. What could possibly go wrong?

Daddy issues, tentacles, and giant pancakes ahoy! Has Pandy invaded Mike's dreams again? No, it's Christian and Will's voyage into Strange World, one of Disney's latest and greatest cinematic flops! (And, quite possibly, its next cult film.)

As Part of Your World winds down, Christian puts out a call for feedback.

Abrasive abuelas, unspeakable uncles, and familial fissures seize the limelight as Christian and Mixie talk about Encanto!

As the year winds down, Christian joins forces with the Llama God and Jo to weather Raya and the Last Dragon, an ostensibly Southeast Asia-set film that manages to be both too Western and too Chinese, feature the wrong animals (both real and imagined), and not be enough about food.

Part of Your World heads back to Arendelle and into the unknown as Christian, Will, and newcomer Lauren Volpone navigate Frozen II!

Take five writers, 12 princesses, and add a sprinkling of new characters and assorted references. Stir in 16 gallons of product placement for two hours. Put them together and what have you got? Ralph Breaks the Internet! Join Christian and Dave to find out whether this rare theatrically released Disney sequel cleansed their palettes or left a bad taste in their mouths.

With both its sequel and its unnecessary remake on the horizon, Christian and Emma voyage through the Lin-Manuel Miranda-, Opetaia Foa'i-, and Dwayne Johnson-infused ocean odyssey: Moana!

Chekov's carrots, bizarre British rebrandings, and subverted stereotypes stampede through the review as Christian, Pandy, and Kelly explore Zootopia! (NOTE: The next episode won't come out until August 31st at the earliest. In the meantime, feel free to send feedback to disney@earth-2.net or leave it at the Earth-2.net forums!)

With Deadpool and Wolverine now in theaters, Christian and Tom join forces once again to dissect another X-adjacent adaptation: Disney's Big Hero 6!

Now over a decade past its initial release, The Honore Siblings and Will reassess Frozen - one of Disney's most popular animated films, as well as one of the greatest sleeper hits of all time!

Shifting gears back to 3-D animation, Christian reunites with Dave Probert to steer through the twists, turns, deep cuts, and big heart of Wreck-It Ralph!

Despite being the shortest non-package animated Disney film (as well as the last traditionally animated one for now), Christian and Donovan have a surprising amount to say about 2011's Winnie the Pooh! (RIP Richard M Sherman.)

Gaslighting 101, gay barbarian bars, and the creative insanity of Once Upon a Time loom large as The Honore Siblings team up with Will to run a fine comb through Tangled!

As the curtain falls on 2D animation at the studio, Christian and first-time guest Yvonne Boykin jump into The Princess and The Frog - featuring Disney animation's first cinematic black protagonist, the incomparable Keith David, and lots of love for New Orleans!

Between suspending their disbelief to a near-breaking point and gushing about X-Men '97 (with spoilers), Christian and Donovan cross-examine the fun-if-familiar John Travolta / Miley Cyrus helmed Bolt!

Adam West strikes again, the future is retro, and time travel problems abound as Christian and Will move forward into the hodgepodge but heartfelt Meet the Robinsons!

If you can't beat them, join them. Too little, too late. Egg on their faces. All these expressions and more come into play as Christian, Pandy, and Kelly kick off the latest season of Part of Your World with Chicken Little - Disney's first completely computer-animated feature film. Is it the cock of the walk or is it for the birds?

Christian, Pandy, and Kelly cap off 2023 by revisiting Tim Burton, Henry Selick, and Danny Elfman's dark-yet-delightful The Nightmare Before Christmas - one of the most celebrated stop-motion and holiday films of all time!
