The hallowed halls of Disniversity aren’t quite ready to re-open for the Comeback Era – so for now, film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Dr. Sam Summers are taking a first trip into the post room to answer your listener questions. You sent in tons of Qs – on Disney, animation, academia and beyond – so here are the long-awaited As. Will Disney ever go 2D again? Who should appear in an Avengers-style line-up of Disney characters? And what is Sam’s job, really? All that, plus Ben yearns for a new Flubber, there’s repeated use of the word ‘chicanery’, and prepare for the ultimate showdown: Mr. Bug Goes To Town vs. Uncle Stiltskin.
Next episode: Another special episode. Coming soon: The Princess And The Frog!

Ho ho hello! It’s almost Christmas – so what better time to talk An Almost Christmas Story, Disney’s heart-swelling new animated short film, from acclaimed director David Lowery? Film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers venture to snowy NYC for a tale of a lost owl and a lost girl, who might just find the meaning of Christmas together in the big city – with a handful of folk songs along the way. We talk the film’s cardboard-styled animation, the real story of the Rockefeller tree owl, and get down to the ultimate question: what truly makes something a Christmas story? Watch the film on Disney+, enjoy the pod, and we’ll see you in the new year for the final stretch of the Wilderness Years era.
Next up: The Wild bonus episode
