Yet again, me and David Ganssle continue making our way through the Not On Disney+ Month shortlist in alphabetical order! In this one, we briefly discuss the 1997 comedy RocketMan, the 2006 remake of The Shaggy Dog, The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show, the infamous "Michael Jackson" episode of The Simpsons (S3E1, "Stark Raving Dad"), So Dear To My Heart, the 1983 adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, Son of Flubber and Song of the South.

At long last, this week the randomizer wraps up Patreon Request Month 2023 by going all the way back to 2012 to pick Nick F's request for an episode of the OTHER project titled "Once Upon A (something)" that first aired on ABC in which Disney tried to cram every last Disney character onscreen together. Specifically a season one episode that had the bold vision to say, "hey, remember when Disney retold a tale as old as time so absolutely perfectly that it became the first-ever animated feature no...

DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded and released prior to the arrest of one of its guests, Kyle Carrozza. We at Escape From Vault Disney strongly condemn Mr. Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we will not be inviting him on this podcast again in the future. That said, rather than attempt to rewrite history, we have decided to leave this episode online and intact as a time capsule of when it was made. It's Week #4 of Patreon Request Month 2023, and the rando...

It's Week #3 of Patreon Request Month 2023, and the randomizer is going all the way back to 2007 to pick Jinx Productions and Jonathan Librach's request for the long-awaited (though I'm not sure by who) live action feature film adaptation of a 1960s animated series that millions of people watched in reruns while enthusiastically cheering "okay, I guess this exists!" And the movie boldly exists as well, transforming the uniquely-designed clothed bipedal dog-like characters in the cartoon into bor...

It's Week #2 of Patreon Request Month 2023, and the randomizer is going all the way back to 1997 to pick Andrew Weiss's request for Disney's very first live-action direct-to-video sequel, continuing the wacky adventures of Wayne Szalinski, the genius inventor played by easily one of the six or seven funniest people from SCTV (that's not an insult, they were just all really great and it's really hard to rank them) who miraculously invented a shrink ray that could solve world hunger and revolution...

This week, the randomizer kicks off Patreon Request Month 2023 by going all the way back to 2010 to pick Gordhan Rajani's request for an episode of an animated Marvel series that aired on Cartoon Network, in which the superheroes looked like Chibi knockoffs, called themselves "Squaddies" for some cosmically appalling reason, lived in a town with very few non-superheroes, and elected Stan Lee as their mayor until they didn't. Also we get to hear Wayne Knight graduate from voicing a guy dressed in...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2009 to pick yet another Disney Channel Original Movie, and in this case, it's a DCOM about that strange mysterious fantastical creature known colloquially as the "chicken." What is a chicken? Where did they come from? What do they want from us? Which came first, the chicken or the guy named Pete? What does a guy named Pete have to do with any of this? Why in God's name did the Disney Channel think it was a great idea to make a movie about a bas...

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode which also happens to be another Channel KRT crossover, in which the very awesome Kit Quinn "makes" us watch one of the very finest pieces of mainstream filmmaking of the 2010s, a megabudgeted CGI-heavy blockbuster tentpole sequel set in an expansive cinematic universe in which visionary writer/director James Gunn, rather than simply make a soulless cash grab and let the franchise spin its wheels, uses his uniquely e...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1956 to pick a relic from the bygone era when those mysterious newfangled "tele-visions" in people's houses would only broadcast shows at very specific dates and times, and if you wanted to watch something again, you had to wait for it to become a big-enough pop culture phenomenon to be repackaged for the big screen and shown at your local cinema. Fortunately, that very thing happened to Walt Disney's prequel miniseries about the original coonsk...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2018 to pick yet another NatGeo special! And since it's become abundantly clear that every NatGeo special is exactly the same, I'm gonna devote the rest of this description to talking about the life of Daryl Hall. Born in 1946 in Pottstown, PA, Mr. Hall majored in music at Temple University in Philadelphia, met his performing partner John Oates in 1967, and together the duo of Hall & Oates enlivened pop radio in the 70s and 80s with such sma...

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to cover the very first smash hit original series Disney+ ever produced, a relic of a magical bygone era when streaming platforms would actually KEEP their original shows available! My, what a novelty. In this case, it's an episode of the popular live-action Star Wars series that asks the bold question "what if we focus on a character you've never heard of from a group whose primary trait so far is cool-looking costumes, make the pace of th...

This week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend Chris Nebergall makes us watch one of Walt Disney's more acclaimed live-action features, a 1954 megahit Jules Verne adaptation featuring groundbreaking special effects, an Oscar-winning director, three Oscar-nominated actors and an intelligent screenplay that didn't talk down to the audience. Basically, it was one of the far-too-infrequent times in Walt's career when he swung for the fences ...

It's the fifth and final week of NOT ON DISNEY+ MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And to wrap the month up, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1958 to cover one of Walt Disney's "True-Life Adventures" nature documentaries, specifically a particularly infamous little film about Arctic fauna that you probably know by reputation even if you don't quite recognize the title. But once you Google the title, your response is probably something along the lines of "Oh God no...OH GOD NO NOT *THAT* O...

NOT ON DISNEY+ MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney just keeps on lumbering along! For our fourth and penultimate week of Not On Disney+ Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1999 to cover a documentary on the man who originally created, designed and animated the world's most famous tri-circled talking cartoon rodent. The rodent's name was of course Mickey Mouse, but the man's name, contrary to popular belief, was not Walt Disney, nor was it arguably a human name at all. I mean, the guy wa...

It continues to be NOT ON DISNEY+ MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! For our third week of Not On Disney+ Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1984 to pick a home video compilation of content made for a fledgling young premium cable channel called The Disney Channel, specifically the series borne out of someone saying "Hey, y'know those newfangled 'music-videos' all the kids seem to like? What if we made our own using cheap-to-license oldies and footage from Disney's vast library of an...

I'll give you a fantasy!" And because everyone in the 80s knew for a fact that Lord of the Rings would never ever ever be a live-action movie, George instead threw together a buncha swords,...
