Escape From Vault Disney

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...

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.

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-experiment...

We at Escape From Vault Disney strongly condemn Mr. Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we will not be inviting him on this podcast again in the future. That said, rather than attempt to rewrite history, we have decided to leave this episode online and int...

This week, for our first Christmas episode of 2023, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2020 to pick a heartwarming holiday special made when the world was struggling through an unprecedented catastrophic global pandemic, so naturally The Disney Channel thought it'd be a swell idea to take a quartet of promising young actors from the ZOMBIES movies (I swear we didn't mean to cover two ZOMBIES...

David Ganssle and I finally wrap up our conversation where we said a few words about every item on the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist! In this one, we go through another, shorter list of Disney-owned movies and shows that I considered for the shortlist, but ultimately didn't make the cut.

Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss the original 1997 Under Wraps, Victory Through Air Power, The Watcher In the Woods, "Weird Al" Yankovic: There's No Going Home, Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore and The Wuzzles!

This week, for our second of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to cover that time the Disney Channel cartoon about noseless cornlike rural caricatures spent an entire half-hour special shamelessly promoting the trilogy of Disney Channel movie musicals about various high-school-age monsters who don't act like monsters except when they do. If that sound...

This week, for our first of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1984 to cover one of the earliest live-action efforts of a rising young talent by the name of Tim Burton, who in this landmark early work explored many of the very same themes and motifs that would later become ubiquitous in his filmography, including the juxtaposition of mundane suburban life w...

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend Madeline Maye makes us watch one of the first episodes of a 1988 ABC Saturday morning cartoon produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, a series that came about when the executives said "So yeah, Winnie the Pooh's a big popular brand for us, let's just slap together a cute little Pooh show...

Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss Ten Who Dared, That Thing You Do!, They Might Be Giants: Here Come the ABCs, Titan A.E., the 2015 Tomorrowland movie and the 1997 Tower of Terror movie!

UPDATE: And, of course, mere minutes before this minisode went public, they announced that Spider-Man: Far From Home would arrive on Disney+ on November 3! Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss Spider-Man: Far From Home, Sport Goofy In Soccermania, a bunch of Disney park attraction v...

Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss the 1997 comedy RocketMan, the 2006 remake of The Shaggy Dog, The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show, the infamous "Michael Jackson" episode of The Simpsons (S3E1, "Stark Raving Dad"), So Dear To My Heart, the 1983 adaptation of Ray Bradbury's...

At long last, this week the randomizer wraps up Patreon Request Month 2023 by going all the way back to 2012 to pick Nick F's request for an episode of the OTHER project titled "Once Upon A (something)" that first aired on ABC in which Disney tried to cram every last Disney character onscreen together. Specifically a season one episode that had the bold vision to say, "hey, remember when Disney re...

It's Week #3 of Patreon Request Month 2023, and the randomizer is going all the way back to 2007 to pick Jinx Productions and Jonathan Librach's request for the long-awaited (though I'm not sure by who) live action feature film adaptation of a 1960s animated series that millions of people watched in reruns while enthusiastically cheering "okay, I guess this exists!" And the movie boldly exists as...

It's Week #2 of Patreon Request Month 2023, and the randomizer is going all the way back to 1997 to pick Andrew Weiss's request for Disney's very first live-action direct-to-video sequel, continuing the wacky adventures of Wayne Szalinski, the genius inventor played by easily one of the six or seven funniest people from SCTV (that's not an insult, they were just all really great and it's really ha...

This week, the randomizer kicks off Patreon Request Month 2023 by going all the way back to 2010 to pick Gordhan Rajani's request for an episode of an animated Marvel series that aired on Cartoon Network, in which the superheroes looked like Chibi knockoffs, called themselves "Squaddies" for some cosmically appalling reason, lived in a town with very few non-superheroes, and elected Stan Lee as th...

Yet again, Tony Goldmark and David Ganssle continue making their way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, they briefly discuss The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band; One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing; Oz the Great and Powerful; a buncha early shorts from the 1920s (specifically Kansas City's Spring Clean-Up, Alice's Wonderland, Trolley Troubles, Pl...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2009 to pick yet another Disney Channel Original Movie, and in this case, it's a DCOM about that strange mysterious fantastical creature known colloquially as the "chicken." What is a chicken? Where did they come from? What do they want from us? Which came first, the chicken or the guy named Pete? What does a guy named Pete have to do with any of...

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode which also happens to be another Channel KRT crossover, in which the very awesome Kit Quinn "makes" us watch one of the very finest pieces of mainstream filmmaking of the 2010s, a megabudgeted CGI-heavy blockbuster tentpole sequel set in an expansive cinematic universe in which visionary writer/director James Gunn, rat...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1956 to pick a relic from the bygone era when those mysterious newfangled "tele-visions" in people's houses would only broadcast shows at very specific dates and times, and if you wanted to watch something again, you had to wait for it to become a big-enough pop culture phenomenon to be repackaged for the big screen and shown at your local cinema....

Me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order. In this one, we briefly discuss Mr. Magorium's Goddamn Wonder Emporium, Muppet Classic Theater, two vintage episodes of The Muppet Show, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, Muppets Tonight, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, My Date with the President's Daughter and The North Avenue Irregulars. Req...
