Episode 258: Disney Through The Decades - The 1970s Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

🕰️Turing back the clock to the grooviest decade - the 1970s.✌️

Bell bottoms, disco balls and funkadelic sounds were everywhere. The decade also brought us Disney’s second theme park and a whole new world in Florida. 🎥At the movies, the mouse dominated animation but saw far out challenges in live action leaving many at the company to wonder, “What would Walt do?”

🌟We’ll also discuss the new Oswald the Lucky Rabbit project. Right on!

We think you’re really out of sight for joining us at the groovy Hyperion Hub.
