Pixie Dust with a Twist

Welcome to Element City! All are welcome here, but only some are actually able to enjoy it. This 2023 movie was pushed under the rug by most. Part of that is due to the release timing, it hit theaters right when the SAG-AFTRA strike started, and part of that was due to the marketing that was done. For a movie that discusses really important themes like assimilation, immigration, race, and class in...

Welcome to part two of our guest episode on Frozen! In part two, Elsa reveals her ice powers, and we discuss the intricacies of her magic. From creating life and clothing to the way the act of true love occurred, we dive deep into the mechanics. Would eliminating her end the winter? How much agency do her lifeforms have? And did Anna have to participate in the act of true love for it to work? Addi...

Welcome to our first two part episode and our first guest episode! We are joined by friend and fellow Disney adult, Caitlin, to discuss her favorite movie, Frozen! We ended up recording for over two hours, so we decided to split this between two episodes instead of cutting out some very good analysis and discussion. Some of the topics in part one include additional representation for different typ...

A failed cocktail, an upcoming Disney trip, and a kingdom where there are maybe 2 brain cells in use at any one point. This is our Sleeping Beauty episode! We have fun facts about the movie, rants about the plan to keep her safe, and the logic that the adults in this film are seriously lacking. Pour yourself something pink or blue and join us as we wander through the woods looking for a beautiful...

Get tucked into bed with your comfort monster and watch one of our all-time favorite movies, Monster's Inc! This week, we have two cocktails, a Mike and a Sully, because what is one without the other, while we discuss the impressive science that makes the monster world work, the fact that Boo was kidnapped for over a day, and question how old she really is. Pour yourself a cocktail of a questi...

This week, we are pairing an iced coffee cocktail with the Disney-acquired movie, Ice Age! Join us as we try to answer the age old questions like "Why was Manny heading North?" and "Is this a seasonal migration or an actual Ice Age". Get some almond liqueur and curl up with this nostalgic classic from our childhoods. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Be our guest as we dive into Beauty and the Beast and ask the questions we've all been wondering. Like, who curses an 11 year old? And why would anyone eat 60 raw eggs? Pop open some cheap champagne (or maybe make yourself a French 75, if you're braver than us) and join us on this drunken magical journey. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

This 1994 movie was a key part of so many of our childhoods. From Scott Calvin running out in his boxers to the magic snow globe, it conjures up funny Christmas vibes. But was the Santa falling off the roof orchestrated by the elves? Why was everyone so calm? And was Charlie really missing for an entire month? All that and more on our newest episode!

Welcome to Paradise Falls! Please watch your step as you leave the flying house. This week, we are discussing one of our favorite movies, Up! In between our theories about Russell's dad, animator's falling to their death kink, and where all of those dogs came from, we also talk about this film's excellent use of color and visual storytelling. This is probably our most cinematic and als...

This week, we are pairing our take on a grasshopper which turned out to be like a boozy shamrock shake with Pinocchio! This fever dream of a movie takes us back to the 1940s where you could use the word ass in a kid's movie and hide guns under your pillow. Come along as we discuss butt jokes, the fact that most Disney movies have a death scene, and lonely Geppetto. Grab a glass of your favorit...

After our whirlwind Walt Disney World trip in June, we sat down to hash it out. In this episode, we discuss our travel woes, genie plus, a ton of delicious food that we ate, and more! If you want some Disney trip tips, we have them for you. On this trip we did a day at each park, two after hours events at Hollywood Studios and Epcot, and we're sharing all of our recommendations. Plus there is...

This week, we pour out a glass of a layered cocktail that was not very good and discuss the only movie that is appropriate for the fourth of July, National Treasure. Come along as we discuss boob tape in near death situations, drunkenly coming up with plot points, and if Nic Cage is actually a good actor. Hide print outs of Nic's face in your coworkers cubicles and enjoy! Grab a glass of your...

Welcome to Pixie Dust with a Twist! In our debut episode, we are discussing the original animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. From thrown out dwarf names (there are some doozeys) to the logistics of the magic, we chat about all aspects of this movie while drinking a cocktail that we have dubbed a Poison Appletini. The more we drink, the sillier our takes get, including the poss...
