Bryan RipperPodcast

On this week’s show, I’m joined by my special guest Rick from the United States of Geekdom to go through a list of our picks for the Top Tier of Disney animated films. We’ll list our Top 10 picks for the best Disney animated films from 1937 to today. With 60 animated films to choose from ranging from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” to “Encanto”, it will be hard to whittle down our Top Tier, but we’ll do our best!

Episode 534 – Pinocchio

Bryan RipperPodcast

On this week’s feature discussion episode, I’m joined by Todd Pierce from the Disney History Institute to talk about Walt Disney’s 1940 animated classic film “Pinocchio”. This was only Disney’s 2nd animated feature film and it was considered a box office flop. We’ll go behind the scenes of the development of “Pinocchio” from the original story by Carlo Collodi to the revolutionary animation practices developed that have many animation historians claiming this film to be a near perfect animated feature.
