We're joined by Scott Youngbauer ( @scottyoungballer ) to chat about the BRAND NEW and MOST RECENT (for now) Disney Channel Original Movie, which funny enough is a sequel to the very FIRST DCOM we ever watched. The kids go on a trip to Amy's Dad's wedding (AKA the union of Popin' Carl) and it's a SPOOKY Hallo-wedding! On the way, an ancient mummy has gone missing and the kids correctly suspect this has something to do with Harold, so they wake him and his eternal GF, Rose. Dancing, pizza, and hot sauce ensue as it's a fight to get the ill intentioned Sobek to back off. Tell us what you thought of this original sequel @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

Harold the Mummy was stolen from a museum and some horror-loving kids find him and make it their mission to help him back to his sarcophagus before it's too late, BUT there are some goons up to no good trying to make it so this doesn't happen!

Aug 11, 2022
We're joined by Chris Grace (@chrisgracecomedy) to discuss not only the Zombies we know and love, but WEREWOLVES!!!! Addison doesn't fit in at all because she has *gasp* white hair, could it be because she's the alpha werewolf!? If figuring out her identity weren't enough, she and Zed struggle to make their new relationship work while he runs for school President against Bucky and Addison positions herself to be cheer captain.

Jun 30, 2022
We're joined by Eric Michaud (@theaterbear on instagram) as we enter into ANOTHER musical franchise! It's— you guessed it, Romeo and Juliet, but this time it's ALSO an allegory. Our Zombies face some nasty discrimination in a town that fancies itself perfect, yet is actually so closed minded that it won't accept a character who...has white hair. We are also unsure of what zombies actually are... because these zombies are different from what we thought zombies were. From how they're created to how they behave (even before they use z-bands)...we're confused. Please explain to us what zombies are @ITDVPodcast on twitter.

Fortunately, not much has changed since 2002, when Turning Red is set. Meilin is changing...but not in the way most 13 year old girls do, she becomes a giant red panda. Although her relatives fight to tame Mei's panda, she and her amazing friend group have a little fun with it and invent a moneymaking scheme to fund their trip to see 4*Town, the hottest boy band since...EVER!??!?!? Tell us how many more 4*Town songs should have been featured @ITDVPodcast on twitter!

Okay, it's ALSO not the mom or her boyfriend who do nothing to drive the plot forward. Okay, it's basically not even a phantom since he just pulls pranks based on the titles of movies and then inflates a giant monster blow-up and- hey, you got it! It's the disgruntled manager!

We talk bears and fairytales and female led projects and disjointed storylines and somehow live action Lion King creeps in a bunch- but we're here for Merida and her HAIR. She'll be shootin' fer her own hahnd, okay? But then she'll go on a bear adventure while the men devolve the story into chaos and no one seems to care at all about throwing things and destroying the castle.

Beep Beep! Honk Honk! Toot Toot! The cars are back in town, well out of town really in this spy film set in the Cars universe. Comedian and writer Joan Ford (@joanhaleyford) helps us dissect the ever expanding and increasingly confusing logic behind this movie. SOME people prefer this movie to the first and say it's the best of the franchise? We get into this argument as we break our brains with Cars logic and Joan creates a new segment, Hot Tipics. Which Mater is YOUR favorite? Tell us @ITDVPodcast on Twitter!

We're joined by actor and funny person Tony Rodriguez (@TheTonyRodrig) to discuss five (5! FIVE!)

We're joined by the real life sweetie aka Bonnie aka Melanie Field to chat about old friends and new friends in Toy Story 3! These films get better as their universe expands and we're taken to Sunnyside, a traumatizing place of violence and manipulation let by Lotso Bear. We love Barbie and Ken, but are surprised by how badly some of the jokes have aged in 9 short years (hold up- 9 YEARS!?) We also get to meet the kindest little Bonnie and then take a true friendship test once things get heated at the dump.

The delightful Shakira Ja'nai joins us to discuss live action Aladdin! A cave full of wonders to unpack here, as we do our best not to compare it too harshly against the original (we fail pretty badly). What on earth is going on with Genie and why'd they take the fun out of Iago!? Where's the FUN in general? WE sure have a lot of it while figuring out what the heck Guy Ritchie is doing directing a COMEDY MUSICAL (or what we assume was meant to be). Ouch, BURN. Are we too harsh? Maybe!

Memorable quotes fly as we’re whisked off on a cross-sea adventure with wonderful characters that bring the laughs and heart we’ve come to expect of Pixar.

We find hilarious writer and comedian Mark Rennie (@markrenie) in the Pixar vault and chat about new and GROUNDBREAKING TECHNOLOGY! These the little films paved the way for the innovative films we now demand excellence of before our Pixar features we ALSO demand excellence of. The Adventures of Andre and Wally B (1984), Luxo Jr. (1986), Red’s Dream (1987), and Tin Toy (1988), are four little adventures that seem simply by today’s standards, but oh BOY were they standing ovation worthy back in the day! Luxo Jr.’s even stood the test of time and become synonymous with the quality we’ve come to expect and trust from Pixar. Would you rather be a lumpy baby or a creepy clown? Tell us @ITDVPodcast!

Teresa Lee (@leresatee) defrosts by the fire with us, discussing friends, sisters, good versus evil, and whether or not “Let it Go” is a good song (mixed opinions). A return to the musical, but twist on its structure keeps us on our frozy toesies as we marvel at and discuss Frozen’s lore and why it’s (STILL) such a phenomenon. Anna wants to prove Elsa’s not an icy-hearted bitch, continuing to bug her even though Elsa’s made it very clear she just wants to be left alone.

Yes, because accidental frog, Prince Naveen, accidentally turns Tiana into a frog, halting the restaurant plan.

We’re joined by our friends Katie, Maddie, and Chloe of the New New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley podcast and head out on a cattle drive clusterfunk of unnecessary exposition and too many villains.

The hilarious Mike “Box” Elder (@BoxAngeles) joins us as we go way-way back to the year 2000, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Dinos were hot in the late 90s and early 00’s, so Disney takes a stab at differentiating their version by making sure there are no distinguishing features, colors, characters, or story lines in the film.

Come stop your crying, it’ll be alright, even though we’ve come to the end of the Disney renaissance. Phil Collins decrees that no longer shall disney musicals be sung by the characters in them, but by an overarching godlike figure (Phil Collins), or maybe more of a dad figure...to SOME of us. We have a hoot of a time discussing the hot, hot jungle genre and touch on Tarzan’s grooming techniques, Kerchak’s overbearing masculinity, and how Jane should seek professional help.

Badass misfit, Mulan, finds herself wrapped up in a 12th night situation in the middle of a WAR.

We enter the hellfire that is The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) with Lorraine DeGraffenreidt (@lorrrrraine). Hot DAMN. Hitler of Disney, Frollo, locks away his forced ward, the “half-formed” Quasimodo, in a bell tower as he goes on a rampage hunting Gypsies. Although we feel abused by this dark tale, Esmeralda’s dazzling green eyes and beautiful melodies carry us through.

Hilarious and silver-tongued Chase McCown (@mchasemccown) joins us to dish on ‘The Black Cauldron,’ “the film Disney tried to bury.” Shit gets real dark on the way as we meet a magical pig, old man-sheepdog-sloth creature, and the most badass princess who’s been hidden away and nowhere to be found when the question of progressive Disney females arises.
Jan 11, 2018
We find Jordan Michael Green (@GetExtraJordan) by the river and discuss ‘The Fox and the Hound,’ AKA the original ‘Brokeback Mountain.’ Revered as one of the sadder in the Disney canon, although...it’s not the kind of sad you’re thinking.

The three Mouseketeers present the winners of the first ever Vaulty Awards as voted by YOU, the listeners! We’re tickled to present special Inside the Disney Vault specific awards including Best Use of Butts in a Disney Movie and the It Was a Different Time award.
Dec 28, 2017
We find Jacquis Neal (@jacquisneal) in the vault and bring him on an adventure to rescue an orphaned girl who is too cute for her own good. Her cuteness got her kidnapped by Cruella De Vil’s best friend and the only people (“people”) who can save her are...MICE, who are part of a mouse united nations.

The Three Mousketeers get jolly, chatting about Christmas time at Disneyland and Disney World, and their favorite Holiday films. What happens during the most wonderful time of the year at the happiest place on earth? The ultimate collision of sparkle and cheer! It’s a festival for all the senses, no matter your winter holiday traditions.

Naomi Villa joins us in the Hundred Acre Wood to revisit our childhood friend, Pooh, as he bumbles about, fiendishly seeking honey. A meta-departure from recent narrative, we also discuss who this film is intended for and why it’s framed as a story book of which the characters are cognizant.
Dec 7, 2017
We find comedian Rob Hugel in the forest and discuss Robin Hood, the legendary tale as told by animals. A dreamy fox steals from the stupid and gives to the adorable in this cult favorite.
Nov 30, 2017
We scat on through the vault to find writer and podcaster Andy Apuy’s jazz pad and discuss the Aristocats. A popular, yet unsung favorite to many, others may call this film the poor man’s 101 Dalmatians.
Nov 23, 2017
Alex Song sits down with us for a Disney Thanksgiving feast to discuss the (kind of? sort of?) Thanksgiving (food) themed Donald Duck short Soup's On (1948). Things get violent and wild in this little cartoon as Donald and his nephew set out to EAT A BIRD, then the boys misbehave and leave Donald for dead.
Nov 16, 2017
We find the very sweet and funny Lou Wilson (@sweetlouzinho) in the vault to discuss The Jungle Book, a childhood favorite that none of us remembered a thing about- except for the BANGERZ! This movie has some truly swingin’ tunes and great relationships between endearing characters.
Nov 9, 2017
We find illustrious podcaster and fellow Disney fan, Carrie Poppy (@CarriePoppyYES) in the vault for the medieval, magical education of a kid named Wart (obvious nickname for Arthur). The origin story of Marty and Doc Brown from Back to the Future (not really, but basically yes- think about it!), Merlin leads wart on a series of animal themed lessons that kind of, sort of add up to an adventure and eventually get us to a sword in a stone.
Nov 2, 2017
We are feeling in-credible as Thorgy Thor (@ThorgyThor) of RuPaul’s Drag Race joins us for a sinfully tickling chat about 101 Dalmatians. Barking mad Cruella De Vil, the smartest person in the world and literally indestructible human, seeks out her presumably(?) good friend(??)’s brand new puppies(!) FOR THEIR FUR(!!!).
Oct 26, 2017
We’re graced with the presence of real life Disney Princess, Shalyah Evans (@ShalyahEvans), who joins us to chat all about Sleeping Beauty and other close personal friends she met working at Disneyland. The bumbling Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather and truly evil Maleficent escalate a garden spat into life or death for simple little Princess Aurora.
Oct 19, 2017
Things get spooky as the Three Mousketeers discuss all things Disney Halloween! We watch and rate four Disney animated Halloween shorts (The Skeleton Dance 1929, The Lonesome Ghosts 1937, Trick or Treat 1957, and Ghoul Friend 2013). We also chat about our favorite Disney Halloween features, but mostly gush over how much we love Disneyland at Halloween Time including 400 minutes on The Haunted Mansion alone. A ghost may follow you home after this episode!
Oct 12, 2017
We’re pleased and delighted to find Ashley Stauber (@ashleystauber) in the vault to discuss Lady and the Tramp! It’s Ashley’s favorite, as Jim Dear and Darling are based on her own life.
Oct 5, 2017
Julia Meltzer (@drunkactress) joins us in the vault to discuss this magical, sparkly, well storied, and problematic film. Tons to discuss here as Captain Hook’s got great fashion sense, Peter’s a dick, and A DOG is the nanny.
Sep 28, 2017
Rachel, Oscar, and Clare, AKA The Three Mouseketeers (that’s the first time anyone has ever referred to them as that, but maybe it will catch on!), look back on the films they’ve watched thus far, reflecting and ranking what they’ve seen. We get a tat-tat-tat-tat-tattoo time update from Oscar and hear about what the Three Mousketeers are looking forward to finding in the vault! Follow us @insidethedisneyvault and please review if you’re out there, even if only to tell us if this Three Mousketeer thing should catch on. Love ya!

James Mastraieni (@jmazz1111) trips out with us over a seven-year-old girl who falls down a rabbit hole and into a soul searching adventure into psychedelic experimentation. There’s so much WTF in this movie that we have a hard time making sense of the plot, let alone the absurd characters who suffer from head injuries and the far-out sequences that were written before their time. A complete 180 from the Princess brand, Alice serves up existential realness and takes us on an adventure that’s in a word, a dream. No, like an actual dream. It’s all made up in her wackadoodle 7-year-old head.
Sep 14, 2017
Janie Stolar ( @janiefierce) joins us for an exciting episode as we enter the 1950s and discuss this quintessential Disney stalwart. Oscar’s #pinnochiotheory gets tested as sweet mice and birds sing and wear clothing, but a bratty cat has nothing to say. We discuss Cinderella’s lack of sass juxtaposed with Lady Tremaine’s fierceness. Fairy Godmother? More like Fairy Drag Mother. Oh, and that little Gus is just so gosh darned CUTE. Watch out world, we’re making our way through a new decade! Rate and Subscribe to stay up to date! Love you.

Heir to the Disney throne, Ruha Taslimi (@ ruhataslimi), hops on our own Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride to discuss drunk driving and other eccentric and erratic behavior. We then venture to Sleepy Hollow to get fashion tips from lil shorty and theorize the identity of the headless horseman, who very well may be a likeable Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. We have a lot of fun trudging through yet another spooky forest while drawing parallels and emitting LOLs along the way. Listen up, bbs!

Nicole Villela ( @ itchybrained ) rummages to the way back of the vault with us, to Disney’s beginning, discuss animal abuse, sexism, and physics in our first Minnie episode! All that found in this seven and a half minute short! It’s a fun look at Mickey’s debut as discuss how he’s changed, the introduction of Minnie, and the ways in which this short paved the way for future animation, while being just plain fun and silly! Listen along with us and be sure to subscribe and review on iTunes!

We have a raucously good time with Musical Comedy Duo Erin & MeLissa ( @ ErinandMeLissa ) who stop by the vault to join us for Melody Time, another package film made up of historical figures, three of our old amigos, and a troublemaking tug boat. We learn that Erin likes bad boys and believes she’s the second coming of Sherry Lewis. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of outrageously hilarious topics Ein and MeLissa grace us with. This episode’s a howling fun time, listen along and weigh in on whether you think cartoon corpses are creepy or not (they very much ARE).
Aug 17, 2017
Hannah Kanengieter ( @cannongator) joins us this week to discuss sexism in Bongo the Circus Bear and an inappropriate birthday party in Mickey and the Beanstalk. Famed singer Dinah Shore and celebrated ventriloquist Edgar Bergen lend their talents to this film and if you’re thinking things must get weird, YOU’RE RIGHT. We cast Beyonce in our re-envisioning of the film and cut the puppets entirely. What do the two shorts have to do with each other? Beats us, but they sure are fun and fancy free.
Aug 10, 2017
We dug deep in the vault and found the infamously controversial film along with the hilarious Carl Tart ( @dammitcarl ) . That’s right, it’s the the movie that Splash Mountain was based on, but no one has seen! Well, we saw it and discuss some pressing questions; Why was it banned? Is it racist? Is it offensive? Is it just a bad movie? We have answers! Jump inside the log and try not to cringe as we take you to your laughing place.

Lovely songbird Dia Frampton ( @DiaFramps ) joins us in the vault this week for dancing cherubs, body shaming sock hoppers, and a pair of star crossed lovers that are also hats. We fall asleep once or twice, but mine some sparkling gems out of this unsung Disney deep dive. We also get real and have a lovely group therapy session, discussing some of our insecurities and successes. We never know what we’ll find in the vault!
Jul 27, 2017
We find the very fun Shane Lennon ( @TheShaneLennon ) in the vault this week and then take him on a trip to South America for Donald Duck’s birthday. We see a different side of Donald, who’s very attracted to human women, then we party once again with the ultra cool Jose Carioca in Brazil. Extremely psychedelic sequences lead us to wonder what kind of party the animators were attending and what Jose gave them to drink. This classic film is complete with visits from the delightfully insane Acuarian bird and a chart topping classic song you’ll tap your feet to all the way home.
Jul 20, 2017
Oh boy, this is getting real. The hilarious and kind John Flynn ( @JFly99 ) joins us this week for a Disney war propaganda film! That’s right, it’s a Disney movie about how we can defeat Nazi’s by using airplanes. That’s right, there are a thousand swastikas and explosions in this movie, that’s right it’s a Disney movie. That’s right, we all get super bored and start talking about ways we would have told this story differently (better). We also rabbit hole into the differences between the Marvel and D.C. universes. John’s already completed our task of watching all the Disney movies in order, so he’s a real TROOPER for getting through this humdinger with us. Subscribe, rate, and review if you’re along for this journey!

Saludos Amigos, buckle up because we’re flying to South America...while in the vault. The very fun Nina Concepción ( @ninamconcepcion on Twitter) joins us this week as we learn Donald’s a terrible tourist, Goofy’s an awful gaucho, and Pedro’s the saddest little airplane there ever was. We also meet Jose Carioca, *the* coolest Disney character, who shows us how to party in Brazil. Sharpen your sketching pencils, ‘cause we’re taking an animator’s vacay! ¡Adios Amigos!

Drip drip drop, little April showers! We find John Milhiser in the vault as we meet a young prince named Bambi and his two close friends, Thumper and Flower. It’s a tale of woe as Flower is in love with Bambi, but this forbidden love must masquerade in silence among socially acceptable 1940s male roles. Bambi also faces the challenges of getting enough meadow frolicking time while avoiding the perils of man and fire, the two evil villains of this film. There are some sad bits (Bambi’s mother, obvi) and cute bits (a million baby animals, obvi) and we have a sinfully fun discussion with our delightfully hilarious guest, John Milhiser ( @JohnMilhiser on Twitter). Put on your winter coat and join us. Please subscribe and rate on itunes if you like joining us in the vault!

Have you ever seen an elephant fly? How about throw tons of shade at a modest momma? We have, thanks to this week’s film, Dumbo! We welcome Allyn Pintal to help us analyze the high highs and saaaaad lows of this petite, heartwarming, and hilarious movie. Allyn serves as a great mythbuster to some of our theories and you better believe we get into it when sweet little Dumbo suffers drunken hallucinations and those controversial crows come along. Paint your face and listen along! Find Allyn @oh1dear on Twitter or @heyallyn on Instagram.

Sparkling fairies, racist mushrooms, romantic centaurs, a servant Mickey, and a demon summoning restless souls from the grave. Disney’s third animated feature is as graceful as a phiroheting hippo. In the vault, Oscar, Rachel, and Clare discover this “package film,” a revolutionary collection of shorts set to classical music. It’s enchanting, questionable, and terrifying. Such beautiful sugarplum fairies! Wait- those zebra centaurs are acting as slaves... It was a different time! Do you remember it? Listen along and decide with us!

When you wish upon a star, even a tame summary of this movie proves it insane. We’re talkin’ Pinocchio, Disney’s second animated feature! Geppetto, a lonely drunk toymaker, builds himself a son who then runs off to the theater with a traveling Gypsy, gets kidnapped, and sent to an island where naughty boys get TURNED INTO DONKEYS TO BE SOLD TO THE SALT MINES- Let me take a breath! That’s not even including the WHALE and the bit about his NOSE GROWING and him NOT ACTUALLY BEING HUMAN and Gepetto is MAYBE in love with his Fish. There’s a lot to discuss here, least of which being how darn cute is Figaro!? His little feet!! Marvel in disbelief with us at the insanity buried in this classic film!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Walt’s first animated feature, is a classic. But do you really remember it? We didn’t! Oscar, Rachel, and Clare rewatch and discuss beautiful colors, potential brain injuries, and a predatory prince in make-up. It’s all there, trust us. We appreciate the cute animals, but dive deeper into the philosophical side of the Seven Dwarfs. Disney starts off the classics with an incredibly dark tale- that Queen wants Snow’s heart in a box! You think you Snow, but you have no idea.
