On this week’s feature discussion show, Blake Reilly joins us for a look at Disney’s first foray into the professional sports world with The Mighty Ducks hockey team. Blake is not only a loyal listener of the show, but he is an avid hockey fan and also the host of the D5 podcast dedicated to “The Mighty Ducks” Disney films.
The story of The Mighty Ducks and how it was begun by Disney in another move of brilliant synergy between the team, their films, and their theme parks is a fascinating one. Together, we’ll look at the genesis of the team, their successes and failures, as well as the team’s life after Disney.
Special thanks to our guest Blake Reilly, host of the D5: The Mighty Ducks podcast!
