The history of Disney is a history of war, capitalism, art, politics, and death. But to a "Disney family", it's also a history of joy and love. Can a podcast be about two things?? Join Isaac Coleman (Second Opinion) and his mother, Ruhe, as they watch every film in the Disney Animated Canon and talk about how it was made, what it means, and why they love it - or don't.

In anticipation of next week’s series finale, Mom and Isaac sit down to catch up on a year’s worth of mailbag questions, discuss their post-podcast ambitions, and reflect on two years of obsessive Disney viewing. And to complain about LIGHTYEAR a lot.

Mom and Isaac tackle the most successful movie in Disney animation history, and the first to be directed by a woman: the mass culture phenomenon known as FROZEN. But how does it hold up as a film?

This week, Mom and Isaac discuss the worst film of the Revival Era, the “brand exploitation effort” (to use John Lasseter’s words) that saw Winnie the Pooh in his dullest adventure yet. It’s a shame that this was Disney’s last 2D animated film.

If the hosts believe it, the AUDIENCE WILL BELIEVE IT! We’re talking about Bolt, a movie where an eccentric director with a huge hit was quietly replaced by a studio exec who doesn’t understand their process, which is also about that.
