Part of Your World: The Disney Animated Podcast

Part of Your World and The Honore Litter enter the 1960s with the sequel- / spinoff- / smoking-tastic One Hundred and One Dalmatians. Is it The Best in Show, a bit spotty, or have elements of both? Plus, the podcast gets its first ending outtake, Emma reveals one of her first crushes, and, prompted by an email from Ian, both Christian and Emma rank the non-package films they've reviewed for the sh...

Inept protagonists, grabby princes, and villains who don't deserve sympathetic origin stories take center stage as Pandy and Kelly Wilson reunite with Christian to take on the most divisive film on the podcast yet: the artistically rich but narratively deficient Sleeping Beauty. Which fairy does Pandy hate the most? Who are Death Girl and the Anti-Michael Caine? Pink or blue? Plus, the hosts weigh...

Recording alongside Dolly and Lily again, Christian and Emma dig into Lady and the Tramp - the first of Disney's pet-protagonist films, and holder of several other major firsts for the studio. In the process, the two great Danes deliver more silly singing than ever before, and face a terrible trio of Chekhov's Rat, Yellow Peril stereotypes, and the world's worst video store manager.

This program contains negative depictions of and / or mistreatment of people and cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it, and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together. With this well-earned disclaimer, Christian and Donovan move from Wonderland to Neverland and dive...

Donovan Morgan Grant returns to the program to help Christian tackle the trippiest entry in the Disney Animated Canon yet: Alice in Wonderland. As they galumph and chortle their way through the film's synopsis, the two madmen also remark upon the vast cultural footprint left by its source material, the 1999 and 2010 live-action retellings of the story, and the casual cruelty of Wonderland's inhabi...

After enduring the multi-story but mostly mediocre package films, Part of Your World not only returns to single-story narratives, but also enters the 1950s and Disney's Silver Age. This time, Christian and both Pandy and Kelly Wilson survey Cinderella - the ultimate underdog story, and the movie that reversed Disney's fortunes forever. Plus, feedback can now be submitted at disney@earth-2.net, and...

With Melody Time and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Christian, Emma, and first-time guest host Tom Hemmings bid adieu to the package era of Disney films. Is this forgotten period underrated or justly overlooked, and did it end with a bang or a whimper? Find out as this month-long leg of the podcast ends with the usual sibling squabbling and titanic tangents, along with discussions about r...

Musical legends, creepy puppets, and more swearing than usual dominate the discussion as Christian and his companions cover the middle two (of six )1940s Disney package films. First, he and Emma measure the merits and minuses of Make Mine Music, the only entry in the Disney animated canon not on yet on Disney Plus. Then, Ian comes back to facilitate facing Fun and Fancy Free, which also marks the...

A new but brief era dawns for the podcast as Christian and Emma dive into the first two of the six package-films Disney released between Bambi and Cinderella. This time, it's a Latin American double feature of Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros. Discover which sibling has spent more time in Latin America, which one hates Donald Duck, and whether either of these forgotten films is a lost treas...

Christian and Emma examine the beautiful yet bleak Bambi a few months shy of the movie's 80th anniversary, as well as its source material's centennial. Do the film's story, characters, and songs hit the bullseye or miss the mark? Does Christian's synopsis of the film contain more sex and violence than the actual film has? And thanks to this film, what's Emma's new favorite bird?

Ian Wilson joins Christian to survey Disney's fourth wonder of the animated world: the beloved yet infamous Dumbo. In addition to the film's sublime cuteness and brief yet regrettable racism, Earth-2.net's Largest American and Greatest Briton also discuss the Disney animators' strike prior to the film's release (including Walt's less-than-admirable behavior before, during, and after), their respec...

Boasting sublime animation, timeless music, and countless colors, characters, and creatures, Fantasia is one of Christian's favorite movies - Disney or otherwise. But what does Emma think of it? Find out as the silly siblings tackle Disney's longest and most ambitious animated film to date, reviewing and eventually ranking all eight of its musical segments. Before and between segments, the duo add...

One of Disney's darkest, yet most hopeful films, Pinocchio has charmed, inspired, and traumatized generations of viewers - including Christian Honore and Donovan Morgan Grant. Join the two as they unpack this paradox, from its catchy songs and marvelous animation to its dastardly rogue's gallery (including a strong candidate for the most evil Disney villain of all time) and depictions of cruelty,...

Once upon a time, a visionary cartoon producer put everything on the line to complete a film that would change the world forever: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In this inaugural episode, Christian and his sister Emma examine Disney's first cinematic princess, prince, sidekicks, villain, henchmen, and the film that they inhabit. Along the way, they discuss the film's genesis and legacy, the poss...

From Snow White to the modern day, Disney's animated feature films have always been a part of your world, and now Christian Honore, along with a rotating cast of co-hosts, will revisit these magical movies and memories in the brand new Disney-themed podcast, Part of Your World!
