Gus Mar 30, 2024

Show notes

It's the ludicrously-belated fifth and final episode of WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? "MONTH" on Escape From Vault Disney! And to wrap up this batch of episodes on the most awkward time period in Disney history, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1976 to cover an example of Disney's most reliably lucrative (or at least, least reliably un-lucrative) genre at the time, the dumb-as-rocks slapstick-heavy live-action comedy! And what a comedy it was, assembling more exclamation-point-worthy TV stars than a primetime variety special - Ed Asner! Don Knotts! Tim Conway! Tom Bosley! Bob Crane! Dick Van Patten! Dick Butkus! The Guy Who Voiced The Cat From Outer Space! - and then casting them all in a motion picture where the REAL star is a dumb mule who somehow gets drafted as an NFL placekicker through the use of Air Bud logic twenty years before Air Bud. Ah well, at least he's not Harrison Butker. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Zach Hurst and Cassie Shima as they all get kicked in the head by GUS!

MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney just keeps on lumbering along! For our fourth and penultimate episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1971 to cover a made-for-TV movie produced for NBC's weekly "Wonderful World of Disney" showcase, with a daring, I dare say even avant-garde premise: see, there's this horse who - get this - doesn't want to be ridden! Even though he's a horse! Crazy, right? I mean, if he didn't want to be ridden, why'd he become a horse in the first place? Why not instead become some other creature, like an alligator? Or Mitt Romney? No one's ever ridden Mitt Romney! Silly horse thinks he's Mitt Romney. I'm laughing already and it's not even remotely interesting. Join Tony Goldmark, Kyle A.

The Fox and the Hound Mar 16, 2024

Show notes

It continues to be WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our third episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1981 to pick an animated would-be classic that seemed to have everything going for it: a beautiful nature setting in the Bambi mold, a timeless parabolic story about the irrationality of bigotry, and a once-in-a-lifetime animation crew loaded with literally dozens of future directors. How could they possibly screw that up? Welp, dull dialogue, a meandering story, muddled character motivations, instantly forgettable songs, an inept fumbling of the anti-bigotry message, a side character who should've died inexplicably living, a pointless B-plot where two birds and a caterpillar do third-rate Tom & Jerry shtick, and what the hell, why not throw in some incompetent studio mismanagement that drove about a dozen animators to resign and form their own studio while we're at it, that's how. Meh, at least the furries got something out of it. Join Tony Goldmark, Dave Cobb, Charley Marlowe and Jacob Martin as they try to schedule a disastrous playdate for THE FOX AND THE HOUND!

Treasure of Matecumbe Mar 09, 2024

Show notes

It's still WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our second episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1976 to pick an ambitious misfire released just in time for America's bicentennial, a would-be epic treasure hunt adventure set in the Reconstruction-era American South that aims to be Budget Mark Twain by way of Budget Robert Louis Stevenson, depicting America as a chaotic lawless hellscape where former slaves run back to their plantations, snake oil medicine can be refashioned into Molotov cocktails, impromptu hoedowns turn into attempted gangbangs at the drop of a hat and we're supposed to take the big evil frightening villain seriously even though his name is "Spangler." Also the guy who voiced Prince John is in it but he doesn't suck his thumb even once.

A Tale of Two Critters (with Meet the Robinsons director Stephen Anderson!) Mar 02, 2024

Show notes

It's WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney, as we devote March 2024 to movies, featurettes and/or TV specials produced by Walt Disney Productions during that odd, awkward inbetween time from 1968-1984, after Walt died but before Eisner took over! And for our first episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, we're joined by the man who literally wrote the soon-to-be-released book on that era, Meet the Robinsons director Stephen Anderson! And for our topic, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1977, the summer when Star Wars had the unmitigated audacity to dominate the box office 35 years before Disney owned it. The only competition Disney had that summer was a Herbie sequel and an animated talking mice movie, so the Disney execs thought "Hey, y'know what Walt would've done? He would've paired the animated talking mice movie with 48 minutes of documentary-style footage of a bear and a raccoon in the woods just kinda wandering around, narrated by an obscure country singer who, for thoroughly unclear reasons, is named 'Mayf Nutter.' That'll steer audiences away from Luke Skywalker blowing up the Death Star for sure!" Are you starting to understand why Disney struggled in the 70s?

World's Deadliest S3E1 - War of the Carnivores Feb 24, 2024

Show notes

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to pick yet another NatGeo special! And since it's become abundantly clear that every NatGeo special is exactly the same, I'm gonna devote the rest of this description to talking about the life of actor/comedian Chris Elliott. Born in 1960 in New York City as the fifth and youngest child of Bob Elliott of Bob & Ray fame, Mr. Elliott was hired as a production assistant on Late Night with David Letterman and soon began playing various wacky characters on-camera. This led to supporting roles in such films as Manhunter, The Abyss, Groundhog Day and There's Something About Mary, as well as starring roles in his own FOX primetime sitcom Get A Life and the feature film vehicle Cabin Boy. More recently, in the 2010s he had his own Adult Swim series Eagleheart, and a regular supporting role on Schitt's Creek. Chris Elliott's surreal, offbeat style of humor has been a comedy staple for over forty years and counting, and he continues to be an always-welcome character actor to this day.

BONUS "MINI"SODE! What Else Is NOT on Disney+? SUPERCUT! Jan 20, 2024

Show notes

A two-and-a-half-hour supercut of all sixteen "What Else Is Not On Disney+?" minisodes, featuring more-or-less the entire conversation Tony Goldmark had with David Ganssle in the spring of 2023 in which they went through the entire Not On Disney+ Month shortlist and said a few words about each item.

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, which in this case doubles as a belated Christmas episode AND triples as an even-more-belated Halloween episode! Our good friend and newly-sentient amorphous blob of characters Garrett Smith "makes" us watch one of the most groundbreaking animated features of all time, a 1993 stop-motion animated borderline-experimental quasi-operatic tone poem of a film about the shenanigans that ensue when the bored leader of an annual tradition finds a buncha magic trees containing the other annual traditions and decides to colonize one of them, filled with gorgeous sumptuous visuals, haunting musical numbers and some guy's name in the title who didn't direct it and only visited the set maybe ten times. Join Tony Goldmark, Rob Bergman, Garrett Smith and Gaby Tyrrell as they wake up screaming from TIM BURTON'S THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!
