Of Mice & Princesses

A little introduction to this little show of mine

Die-hard fan Friis and first-timer Bascha join me in this episode to discuss and dissect "Lilo & Stitch" - a movie so chaotic yet so wholesome. Join us to find out about all the sequels you didn't know this movie had, what is hidden at the bottom of the Mariana Trench and why Lilo was hiding behind a pizza karton (Spoiler: it's because children cannot be trusted!) But mostly you'll hear us swoon about realistic depictions of humans and relationships.Out two-year anniversary is coming up! So the time to find and follow us on Instagram is NOW!

We are finally back with an episode that just has it all: terrible puns, gaping plot holes (that we graciously overlook) and conspiracy theories. Friis and I dive deep into "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and its production while being confused by things like an underwater volcanos that supposedly open up to the surface and gushing about the "epic floaty scene".

Jasmin, Krissi and I chat and laugh about Disney's buddy comedy with a cult following that started out as a classic Disney musical. Along the way we find out how Prince Eric finds his wives nowadays, Pacha's secret hobby (because how DID he have those falsies on hand?) and how many fanfics there are for this movie - that Krissi claims to never have read but clearly has.   Please don't forget to rate and review us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Facebook!   Find us on Instagram @ofmiceandprincessesFor your longer thoughts: ofmiceandprincesses@gmx.de

We are back and starting off this year of the podcast by talking about Disney's impressive blend of live-action backgrounds and cgi-dinosaurs that somehow failed to impress in the story-department. Join Bascha and me as we joke about Aladar the sex-taxi, dinosaurs craving water but wanting to be nowhere near the rain and us being weirded out by ... eyes.... those weird, weird eyes - or maybe that's just me.    If you're interested to find out more about the making of this movie: https://www.cinema.com/articles/174/dinosaur-production-notes.phtml    Please rate and review us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Facebook!   Find us on Instagram: @ofmiceandprincesses   For your longer thoughts: ofmiceandprincesses@gmx.de

Join Bascha, Julia and me as we marvel at the work and creativity that went into this continuation of 1940's infamous Fantasia - while being somewhat disturbed by a floatmob of whales, adding somber twists to happy stories and updating the "Carnival of Animals"-section, because really, who even plays with a yo-yo anymore?This is our last regular episode of the year, so we wish you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a wonderful start into te new year - it can only get better, right?Please don't forget to rate and review us on Facebook and Apple Podcasts!   Find us on Instagram @ofmiceandprincesses   For your longer thoughts: ofmiceandprincesses@gmx.de

Wyatt and I take a trip deep into the Disney archives to look at some of the segments that unfortunately didn't make it into the final version of Fantasia and since it wasn't continued as Walt had planned, never made it to the big screen (or at least not in the intended way).And of course we hate on "The Rite of Spring". It's a must when talking about anything Fantasia-related ;)   Please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts and Facebook!   Find us on Instagram @ofmiceandprincesses   For your longer thoughts: ofmiceandprincesses@gmx.de                                                                 Citations: Brew, Simon.

 In this episode Jasmin, Alina and I try to focus on the plot and breathtaking visuals of the last movie of the Disney Renaissance, but it's honestly hard when there's a sexy guy in a loincloth swinging around on the screen, so please excuse the thirst.

We're back from our break and Yorrick and I discuss one of our favorite movies ever! As always we discuss its making, go through it scene by scene and give some interesting background on the movie and its source material. And of course as always: We have a lot of fun along the way, discovering anachronisms and agreeing that "A guy like you" can go straight into "Hellfire", if you know what I mean.Please find us on Facebook and Apple Podcasts to rate and review our show! Also visit us on Instagram @ofmiceandprincesses! For your longer thoughts, shoot us an email at ofmiceandprincesses@gmx.de!

Krissi and I go on a canoe ride "just around the riverbend" to discuss this controversial movie and its unique visuals.

Sherlock Holmes-fan Alina joined me for this episode to talk about Basil of Baker Street to see how he holds up compared to his human equivalent. But before coming to an actual conclusion we of course got sidetracked talking about spiders and horror movies and if you'd like to have even more fun listening to this episode: Have a drink everytime we mention the BBC Sherlock :) Don't forget to rate and review!

Jasmin, Bascha and I went on the little DnD campaign that is "The Black Cauldron" to uncover the reasons behind its legendary box office desaster - though not very successfully I might add. Along the way we talk about, well, Dungeons and Dragons (literally), Skyrim and a quest-giver who seems to have a thing for his pig.  Note: There are a few audio issues in the beginning, but they stop after the 20 min mark.The Princess quiz: https://www.buzzfeed.com/katangus/what-percent-disney-princess-are-you

Krissi and I went on a trip with our two favorite mice from the Rescue Aid Society to save poor Penny from the clutches of the wicked Madame Medusa. Along the way we chatted about makeup, questioned mice air travel via Albatross and came up with interesting theories about how exactly that huge diamond ended up inside that skull. Strap in and laugh along with us!

Anni was extremely excited to finally get to watch Disney's newest addition to the animated canon and dragged Krissi and Bascha along for the ride - though to be fair, they were also pretty eager. Join us in this unedited first look and first discussions about this wonderful movie that moved at least two of us to tears. Be aware though, there are Spoliers ahead!

Join Anni and Jasmin on their trip through the hundred acre wood where they talk about voice actors with interesting hobbies, creepy stuffed animals and get frustrated at the inconsiderate titular character. Of course there's also mention of the Pink Elephan - sorry, Heffalumps and Woozles scene and we take a very quick trip into the mental disorder-theory about the characters of the Winnie The Pooh-franchise. Have fun with this one - We sure did!

Anni, Bascha and Yorrick take a trip through Sherwood Forest together, where they encounter two attractives foxes, Baloo - er, Little John and an abusive lion with Mommy issues. THis is our forst attempt at recording via video call, so the audio might not be perfect - as was our internet connection. We hope you still enjoy it and have fun! 

Bascha and I finally get to talk about Disney's first cat movie! So naturally, we talk about our own cat Hurley, uncover the shocking truth about the kitten's dad and offer some geographical fun facts, all while analyzing this merry little adventure through Paris and the French countryside. Listen along and enjoy!And of course, here is the link to Mina Le's fabulous Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoOss5XiPpnLHGmLrBvNkJg

We welcome this new year with a classic that is beloved by many: The Jungle Book. Anni and Jasmin talk about sexy tigers, take a little detour to talk about snakes and of course there is a musical rendition of "The Bare Necessities". That is - in this case - a bare necessity, isn't it? Have a safe 2021 everyone!Find us on Instagram @ofmiceandprincesses and also drop by our Facebook page and Apple podcasts to rate and review, please!

We say goodbye to 2020 with this little special German episode in which I interviewed my parents on their personal and parental views on Disney, as well as their opinion on Frozen, which they had seen for the first time! Of course Bascha was also there :)With this we wish you all a Happy New Year and let's all stay safe and hope and pray for better things in 2021!

The year is coming to an end and for your host Anni and Bascha it gets extra nostalgic as they check out two of Disney's Christmas shorts and Mickey's Christmas Carol. We also revel in Christmas memories, discover a shocking fact about Santa Claus and wonder about Marley's ghost physics while having some lovely mulled wine. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Bascha and I take a look at probably the only Disney movie that should have had a sequel, but didn't get one. Join us as we finally discover the villainous princess we've been waiting for (and no, it's not who you think), write the Corona-song that every Disney-fan needs and marvel at this movie with perfect characters but false advertising. Enjoy!

Take a trip to London with Jasmin, Bascha and Anni to go on the delightful puppy-rescue-mission that is Disney's 1961 movie "101 Dalmatians". As always we deliver fun facts and theories as we wonder about barking as a seperate language, marvel at Cruella being the most entertaining villain and imagine the difference between dogs and cats communicating.As promised, here are the links to our recommendations: Yoga with Adrienehttps://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene 5 Minuten Harry Podcast by coldmirrorhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDvBqWb1UAGeEt9n6vFH_zdGw65Obf3sHHave fun with them!

Bascha and I take a very loving look on this beautiful classic and great design and villain. Join us as we discuss what Merryweather's gift originally would have been, worry about Maleficent's mental health and find out how Aurora is just like Carrie Bradshaw. But most importantly - check this episode out to learn about the horrifying origin story of the fairytale it is based on. And since I promised it - here's a link to the super easy and delicious Oreo truffle recipe:GERMAN https://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/3428981510826167/Oreo-Pralinen.htmlENGLISH (but use white chocolate instead of dark one - at least I like it much better that way) https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/127491/easy-oreo-truffles/Have fun with it and enjoy the deliciousness

My husband Bascha and I spent a "Bella Notte" in the recording booth and talked about Lady and the Tramp (after taking a little detour into the world of Disney songs)! We wonder about dogs drinking human beverages, being able to read and a pretty questionable zoo. Unfortunately we didn't find a definitive answer to the question: In the park, did they, or did they not...?

Jasmin, Krissi and I are aiming for the second star to the right and diving right into our next episode that takes us to Neverland! In this one we show how grown up we are by laughing about dick(ie) jokes, finding out what the parents are doing while their children are getting hypothermia from flying around in their nightclothes and discover the happy thoughts of a ship. Of course we also have to adress the obvious racism and sexism in this classic - it's a wild ride. Come along!

A very merry Un-Birthday to you, dear listener, and Welcome to Wonderland! In this episode Bascha and Krissi join me in a trip down the rabbit-hole in which we find out that the movie actually isn't about Alice at all, we find out who Mary-Ann is (and also some other interesting facts) and we offer Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum some much needed sympathy. Also have you ever heard about the birthday-paradox? Stay safe everyone!

Bibbidi-bobbidi-BOO-YA! We have made it through the package-era and have arrived at the classic that saved the studio: Cinderella! Krissi and Alina joined me to swoon about her dress, discuss some other versions of the Cinderella-story and do what Cinderella couldn't - find some good things about Lucifer! Also, did you know she's really bad with plants? Have fun with this one! We surely did and it's full of fun facts to throw around at parties :)

We have made it to the last of the package movies and Bascha and Krissi are here to discuss it with me! In its two stories, both based on literary works, we get really confused about the scale of humans and animals, no good character is to be found in Sleepy Hollow and Ichabod's hips don't lie! There is also a little tangent about one of the perks of living in Dresden - it's the bomb!Also, WHO EATS SALAD WITH A SPOON??? Have fun with this episode and stay safe everyone!

It is our tenth episode and Bascha and my friend Jule join me to talk about Melody Time - another one of the package movies that consists of musical shorts that range from visually pleasing to downright ridiculous. Join us as we discover a lost Disney princess, find out how kissing came into existence and I am grossed out by... teeth. Also, check out our recommendations in the end!It's another great Disney podcast called Retroscoping and the Pitch Meeting series on Screen Rant's Youtube channel!

We share some fun animal facts, question the accuracy of the portrayed bear-mating rituals and we meet Willie the whale again! ... kind of... maybe...

Two guests, ten short movies and a ton of fun - this episode has it all!

This time we break down The Three Caballeros, the continuation of Disney's Good Neighbour project during WWII. Also, we talk about Bascha's irrational attachment to boats, once again try to crack Disney's 4-finger/5-finger code and discover the shocking fate of the Aracuan bird, while Donald wants to...

Krissi is back to talk with me about Bambi - finally a movie she liked! This one is really educational - we learn a lot about deer, discover the real meaning behind the word "twitterpated" and compare the English and German versions a lot. Also, this one breaks Dumbo's record of us saying something or someone is cute.And as always - we have a ton of fun and hope you join us!And since this topic is just as relevant as it was weeks ago, even if people aren't posting black squares on instagram anymore, here are some resources to turn to, to educate yourself and support the BLM movement:https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ - The most common and helpful place to turn to https://blog.govolunteer.com/8-tipps-wie-du-dich-gegen-rassismus-engagieren-kannst/ - A very helpful guide for our German listenershttps://www.amadeu-antonio-stiftung.de/was-wir-gegen-rassismus-tun-koennen-58741/ - A great German foundation to support that not only strives to fight racism, but also has some other projects to battle e.g. gender inequality and support victims of hate crimes.

This time my friend Jasmin and I take a trip to the circus to discuss Dumbo, Disney's fourth feature-length film. And while doing so we discover the most useless super-power ever, say the word "cute" about a gazillion times and Jasmin tries to (not so) subtly promote Winnie the Pooh. Mostly we just have a lot of fun, but we also touch on the very serious topic of racism once again and in case you missed them last time, here are some recources for you to turn to if you want to help and educate yourself:https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ - The most common and helpful place to turn to https://blog.govolunteer.com/8-tipps-wie-du-dich-gegen-rassismus-engagieren-kannst/ - A very helpful guide for our German listenershttps://www.amadeu-antonio-stiftung.de/was-wir-gegen-rassismus-tun-koennen-58741/ - A great German foundation to support that not only strives to fight racism, but also has some other projects to battle e.g. gender inequality and support victims of hate crimes.

In this episode Krissi joins in once again to talk about Disney's second feature-length movie. We make a suggestion for who should play Pinocchio in the inevitable life-action-remake, get confused by the layout of Gepetto's house and figure out what comes out of the nose of a wooden puppet. But in all seriousness, there's also an interesting theory about Pleasure Island and as always some background info on production and most importantly - the crazy stuff that happens in the original source material. So tune in!

In this first episode your host Anni and her friend Krissi ramble about Disney's very first feature-length movie, discover which of the dwarfs is the ripped one and find a better murder weapon than a poisoned apple. Granted - the last one wasn't that hard. Also, tune in for some fun facts and background information on the production and impact of the movie!
