“It takes a special kind of plane to become a firefighter.”
Sequels do not always live up to their originals, but on this episode of Beyond the Mouse Podcast, we are joined by sequels fan Alexsis Page to discuss the 2014 Disney film “Planes: Fire & Rescue.” Did the film fall short, or do we in fact love this sequel?

“Find the ones who haven’t given up. They’re the future.”
The 2015 Brad Bird film “Tomorrowland” was a disappointment at the box office, but it lives on in Craig’s heart. We take a look at this film as an under appreciated look at the optimism of retro-futurism. Let us know if this George Clooney lead film is worth a second shot in your opinion. To help us take a look back we invite Dan Heaton of The Tomorrow Society Podcast. We can’t recommend enough checking out his show for all things Disney Parks with a particular emphasis on Tomorrowland.

“After getting ousted from the NCAA, a men’s basketball coach is given a chance for redemption with a coaching position at an elite private high school. He soon learns that the teenage players require empathy and vulnerability — foreign concepts for the stoic Coach Korn (John Stamos). By learning how to connect with his players, Marvyn starts to grow into the person he’s always hoped to be. The girls learn to take themselves more seriously, finding their footing both on and off the court.”

Thrilled… Honored… Grateful… So many words can be used to describe our feeling as we release our 100th episode. It’s such a special treat that we were able to speak about one of our favorite movies with three men who brought it to the screen. We invite back to the podcast, Kevin Lima, who not only directed A Goofy Movie but also is such an inspiration to our show. We are joined for the first time by Disney Legend Bill Farmer, who has voiced Goofy for over thirty years. Jason Marsden who also joins for the first time, played Max Goof and has a prolific voice acting career in all forms of media. As a group we discuss stories behind A Goofy Movie as well as individual tales from Kevin, Bill and Jason. Truly we can’t thank them enough for their time.
