And, on the final day of our holiday celebration, The Disney Desk pauses and reflects on the first year working on the podcast, and takes a moment to appreciate our views. Happy New Year, everyone!

It is time for another daring journalistic adventure from The Disney Desk! This time, we head into the Strange World, Disney's most recent (and forgotten) animated film. Listen in as we talk about marketing, generational storytelling, and advocate for the gems in the rough.

Despite being on the cutting edge of journalism, there are a few gaps in the Disney Desk's knowledge. So today, we're talking about topics in the Disney sphere we hope to study more going into the new year.

As the New Year is fast approaching, The Disney Desk looks back at films they didn't have a chance to cover from the last year, including Turning Red, Encanto, and Rescue Rangers!

As the holiday season rolls on, we reflect on the delectable dishes seen through Disney films, and which ones we'd like to try!
