Disney is changing... and we have opinions.In this episode of Hangin' at the Hangar Bar, Scott and Candice take a break from trip planning and nostalgia to talk about some of the biggest changes happening across Walt Disney World. From major attraction overhauls to entirely new lands, Disney is investing billions into the future of the parks—but are they making the right decisions?Before we dive in, we start with an important correction regarding Star Tours and Star Wars Launch Bay, proving once again that we are always willing to admit when we get something wrong.Then we tackle some of the biggest topics currently shaping the future of Walt Disney World:• The massive Carousel of Progress refurbishment and why it has Disney fans divided• What a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic means for Disney's future storytelling• The transformation of Frontierland and the arrival of Cars-themed Piston Peak• Villains Land and whether Disney's biggest expansion in decades can live up to the hype• The end of Muppets Courtyard and the arrival of Monstropolis• Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring The Muppets and our first impressions of the reimagined attraction• Tropical Americas replacing DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom• Indiana Jones, Encanto, Bluey, and the future identity of Animal Kingdom• Disney's growing focus on Walt Disney himself as part of the guest experience• Whether all of this construction is creating a new Disney Renaissance—or simply a lot of wallsAlong the way, we discuss what Disney is getting right, where we're still skeptical, and which projects have us the most excited for the future.What changes are you most excited about? Which ones make you nervous? Let us know on social media or in our Discord community.As always, thank you for hanging out with us at the Hangar Bar.Remember... there's always a great big beautiful tomorrow.

Não lembro a ultima vez que um surfista dominou a etapa como Carissa fez em Raglan.E fez tudo com doçura, porque uma mamãe com a criança no colo não quer guerra com ninguém- só na bateria!Yagão fez de novo aquilo que ninguém mais faz em 2026, mágica pura, viradas extraordinárias na última onda.Não existe dúvida de quem é o melhor surfista do mundo atualmente.Italo Ferreira não tem nada com isso e decidiu que era hora de entrar no jogo, afinal são os 4 goofys brasileiros na ponta do ranking mundial e nenhuma pinta de que isso vai mudar nas próximas etapas.A trilha celebra os 100 anos do Miles Davis com Mystert, do album Doo-bop, Alphonse Mouzon com New York City e os O'Jays com a clássica, For The Love Of Money.
En 2005, uno de los productores de hip-hop más influyentes del planeta llegó a casa de Sérgio Mendes con una pila de vinilos bajo el brazo. Todos eran discos de Sérgio Mendes. will.i.am llevaba catorce años sampleando en secreto aquella música. Había llegado el momento de confesárselo a su autor. Timeless (2006) no fue un rescate ni un homenaje. Fue la demostración pública de algo que los productores de hip-hop llevaban décadas sabiendo en voz baja: que la música brasileña de los años 60 y 70 era uno de los grandes tesoros ocultos de la cultura popular del siglo XX. Madlib, Jay-Z, Kanye West, J Dilla, Flying Lotus — todos habían ido a los mismos vinilos, a las mismas grabaciones, a buscar el groove que no encontraban en ningún otro sitio. Lo que Mendes y will.i.am hicieron juntos fue llevar esa conversación subterránea a la superficie. Con una lista de invitados que incluye a Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Q-Tip, Jill Scott, Justin Timberlake e india.arie, Timeless fue el primer intento de hacer esa tesis visible para el gran público: que la bossa nova, la samba y el hip-hop son primos que crecieron separados pero que comparten el mismo impulso rítmico — el mismo origen africano. En este episodio rastreamos ese encuentro desde sus raíces hasta sus consecuencias: cómo se gestó Timeless, qué vino después — Encanto, Bom Tempo, Magic — y por qué una puerta que se abre, ya no se puede cerrar.

We're down to our last two films for Animation April, and tonight's tale is a real family affair - Disney's "Encanto!"
EPSA tiene el privilegio de presentar en exclusiva internacional mundial el último album de anti, que brotará al mundo el próximo 30 de Abril. Copio y pego la nota de prensa, que para eso me la han mandado: Qué extraña es la vida. Tito Pintado, aka Tito Dakota, ex cantante de Penélope Trip (gijoneses pioneros del indie español noventero) y Telefilme (dúo con David Rodríguez de La Bien Querida y La Estrella de David) publica en 1998 su primer álbum como anti en el sello Elefant. Después se tira once años callado. En 2009 sale su segundo álbum, “antiaventura” en el sello Federación de Universos Pop, y lo presenta en varios conciertos, abriendo para Single (grupo con el que colaboraba por aquella época), Klaus & Kinski y Emilio José. Nada parecía presagiar que iban a pasar otros once años hasta que publicase un nuevo trabajo. Y así fue, no pasaron once años. Pasaron dieciséis. En 2025, anti vuelve por sorpresa con “en américa” (séptimo mejor ep nacional para Rockdelux), el single de vinilo “infantil/islandia” para Discos Garibaldi y el ep digital “su electrónica”, con remezclas de Hidrogenesse, Encanto y Memorabilia. Y en 2026 llega “vendedor ambulante de estrellas va por la avenida de espuma de mar”, su primer álbum en diecisiete años, con un título que grita “¡¡¡ESCÚCHAME!!!”. Diez canciones, nueve propias y una etérea versión de “palmeras” de Single. Pop electrónico minimalista, experimental y psicodélico, en el que la marihuana debería llevarse un 30 por ciento de los royalties. Otro protagonista del disco es el delay, casi siempre envolviendo la voz de anti, repitiendo notas y creando dibujos en el aire; un efecto que quizás nunca se había usado tanto más allá del dub jamaicano. El viaje arranca en “tokiorama”, una montaña rusa de canción que se acelera y ralentiza, se estira y se deforma al antojo de su autor; pasa por la alucinógena “en el café edén” y su ritmo en morse; hace escala en el torbellino de colores de “su electrónica” (compuesta a medias con Encanto, alter ego de Luis Espanto) y en la psicofonía pop de “delia”, casi una sesión de espiritismo sonora a ritmo de… cascabel; después llega el “viaje melódico lleno de curvas y baches” (gracias, Nando Cruz) de “el cantante”, adelanto del álbum con su frenético vídeo (https://youtu.be/xPAHEzkH-Og?si=9Gykd-zm-DMAoNaR) homenajeando la cultura popular india, y que probablemente incluye la primera paradita para fumar de la historia del pop. El disco se cierra con “La canción de la guerra”, un tema sobre el odio, sobre si somos capaces (eso parece) de echar por tierra la belleza de este planeta solo por fastidiar al prójimo. En definitiva, “vendedor ambulante de estrellas va por la avenida de espuma de mar” es una alternativa a los que buscan algo diferente a las modas imperantes, a los triunfitos y artistas urbanos llena-wizinks que parecen creados por una IA, a las playlists tipo “Música para regar las plantas”, a los clichés que aburren a las piedras. Corre el peligro de pasar desapercibido entre el aluvión de novedades musicales, y más al no contar con el apoyo de un sello discográfico. Así que, por favor, reséñalo/pínchalo/recomiéndalo. Y sobre todo, disfrútalo. ¡Gracias! Gracias a ti, Tito.

Universal's Epic Universe is officially raising the stakes—and Disney is responding with a massive $10 billion investment across its parks. But is it enough? In this episode of Where We Roam, we break down the growing battle between Disney and Universal, including what's coming to Walt Disney World through 2030, how Epic Universe is already changing the game, and why this feels like a full-blown theme park arms race.

Join us for episode 484 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast! Disney's Hollywood Studios is having a massive identity crisis. Is it a tribute to the Golden Age of Cinema, or just a parking lot for Star Wars and Toy Story? Disney's Hollywood Studios is in the middle of a massive identity crisis. Is it a park about the magic of movies, or has it just become a storage locker for big franchises? On this episode of the Theme Park Trailer Podcast, Ryan and Donna are making the "Keep It or Kill It" calls for 2026. With Monstropolis construction moving fast and the Muppets taking over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, the duo spars over what needs to stay and what needs to be ripped out to save the park. In this episode: The Identity Battle: Is Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway a worthy icon, or are we still grieving The Great Movie Ride? Galaxy's Edge Wars: Should Disney finally kill the strict Sequel Trilogy timeline and let Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker walk around Batuu? Star Tours vs. Galaxy's Edge: Does the "Greatest Hits" version of Star Wars belong in a different land, or is it the best ride in the park? The Sunset Boulevard Debate: Does Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage still have that Broadway magic, or is it time for an Encanto or Wish takeover? Toy Story Land Problems: We love the "backyard" scale, but is it time to "Kill" the immersion to add much-needed shade and "human-sized" bathrooms? BaseLine TapHouse: Can the park's best "chill spot" survive the expansion of Grand Avenue? STAY TUNED: This is just the beginning. We're debating so much that we're splitting this into a Part Two, where we dive into the Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones, and the future of Animation Courtyard! What would YOU "Kill" at Hollywood Studios? Let us know in the comments!
About the EpisodeOn this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with keyboardist, arranger, bandleader, and all-around musical Swiss Army knife Jeff Babko. Jeff is one of those musicians whose career quietly spans an incredible range of musical worlds, from television and touring to studio work and bandleading, and our conversation ends up feeling like a masterclass in how to build a life in music while staying curious and grounded.We start in the present, where Jeff has recently stepped into a larger leadership role on Jimmy Kimmel Live! following the passing of longtime music director Cleto Escobedo. Jeff reflects on what that responsibility means to him and how leading a band in that environment requires both musical preparation and a deep sense of trust and respect for the musicians around you.From there we rewind to an important musical turning point. Jeff tells the story of seeing James Taylor live in college, backed by a band that included Don Grolnick, Jimmy Johnson, Mike Landau, and Carlos Vega. For Jeff, that moment crystallized what “grown-up musicianship” could look like—players serving the music with taste, humility, and deep craft.We also talk about Jeff's time at the University of Miami's Frost School of Music and the lifelong community that came out of those years. That theme of musical community carries into his long-running collaboration with Steve Martin and Martin Short, where Jeff has learned firsthand how musical timing and comedic timing often work the same way. Playing for comedians, it turns out, requires the same instincts as great improvisation.Toward the end of the conversation, we zoom out to bigger questions: legacy, awards, AI, and what actually lasts in a musical life. Jeff shares a perspective I really love: the most meaningful musical moments often aren't the ones captured online. They're the warm-up before a taping, the look between bandmates, or the feeling of someone in the audience connecting with the music in real time.Key TakeawaysVersatility is a career advantage — Jeff's work spans television, touring, arranging, and bandleading.Leadership grows from trust and preparation — especially in environments like Jimmy Kimmel Live!.Seeing great musicians early can shape a path — Jeff's experience watching James Taylor's band left a lasting impression.Musical communities matter — relationships formed in school and early careers often last decades.Comedy and music share timing instincts — playing for comedians requires the same listening and responsiveness as improvisation.Humility sustains a career — serving the music and the band keeps the work meaningful.The most powerful musical moments are human ones — often unseen and impossible to capture online.Music from the EpisodeHead Trauma - Mondo Trio (Jeff Babko, Jeff Coffin, & Vinnie Colauita)International Client - Jeff BabkoFranklin - Jeff BabkoNostalgia is For Suckas - Jeff BabkoAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

Horror author Laurel Hightower makes her Watch With Jen pod debut, exploring some of Disney's magic-minded movies of the past few decades, particularly ENCHANTED, ENCANTO, and WISH.

Na época muita gente não sabia o que esperar daquele título e ouviu o programa de forma despretensiosa, e por isso mesmo saiu completamente transformado. Esse é um dos episódios que a gente mais recebe comentários, de gente dizendo que mudou a perspectiva da vida, que tem se esforçado para viver mais presente, tem exercitado o sentido da vida e tem achado nos pequenos momentos de encanto o sinal do propósito. Nós sempre ficamos muito felizes com esses relatos que chegam até a gente. E, ao longo desses anos, nós também fomos transformados por essa perspectiva do Reencanto e temos nos dedicado a projetos, pessoais e coletivos, que endossem essa nova forma de enxergar e de experimentar a realidade. E, portanto, surgiu esse episódio de hoje: o Encantamento aplicado ao dia a dia. Porque, se num primeiro momento, o Encanto era uma nova forma de olhar para o mundo, agora ele é postura & prática, é um modo efetivo de contemplar a realidade. Então, esse é um Reencantamento do Mundo parte 2, mas especificamente aplicado ao cotidiano: o que a gente faz, no dia a dia, que torna a vida mais bonita? Como eu me organizo para estar mais Presente e extrair sentido do comum? O que me encanta os olhos e faz com que eu perceba o sagrado no Todo? É o que vamos ver nesse episódio! — Envie seu relato!

Welcome back to the show! Today, we're bringing the hype of March Madness to the world of animation with our very own **Animated Final Four Bracket**. We've taken 32 of the most iconic animated movies and shows—from classics like *Toy Story* and *Aladdin* to modern hits like *Spider-Verse* and *Encanto*—and we're putting them head-to-head in a full tournament-style showdown. Each matchup gets debated, broken down, and maybe even a little heated as we decide who advances, who gets upset, and who ultimately cuts down the nets as the greatest animated pick of all time. Will nostalgia win out? Will modern animation dominate? Or will there be a Cinderella story nobody saw coming? Let's get into it—this is **Animated Madness**.

John Leguizamo is back on our screens—though he never really left. For decades he has played characters that have become comedy cult classics: Chi Chi Rodriguez in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, to Benny Blanco in Carlitos Way, and Tybalt in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. He’s the voice of Bruno in Encanto and Sid the Sloth in Ice Age. Roles that he argues would have skyrocketed any white actor to stardom. In this episode we break down his roles, why he thinks entertainers have a responsibility to speak up and get a peek into his new Hulu show where he plays Pablo Escobar.

Most stories frame conflict as something happening "out there"—a villain to defeat, an obstacle to overcome, or a problem to solve. But the most powerful character arcs aren't really about defeating the antagonist. They're about the protagonist reclaiming agency. In this episode, we explore the deeper difference between internal conflict vs. external conflict and why strong stories use external conflict not just to create tension, but to force meaningful inner change. We also look at how stories can unintentionally weaken their protagonists when they place too much emphasis on blaming the antagonist—and how the strongest character arcs instead move from projection to responsibility. We'll discuss: Why external conflict is often a mirror for internal conflict How focusing too much on the antagonist's culpability can weaken character agency Why stories about blame often feel hollow How powerful character arcs reclaim responsibility and sovereignty Practical questions you can use to strengthen your own characters We'll also examine examples from Encanto, All the Light We Cannot See, Jane Eyre, and Harry Potter to see how the most meaningful victories in story often come not from changing external circumstances, but from changing how the protagonist shows up within them. If you've ever wondered how to deepen your character arcs or better align your plot with your story's thematic meaning, this episode offers practical insights into how internal and external conflict work together to create powerful transformation.

For decades, animated movies shaped how we understood family, loss, and growing up. Early Disney films often began with tragedy — parents gone, heroes forced to survive on their own, and childhood filled with emotional challenges before the adventure even started.But something changed.Modern Disney and Pixar stories look very different. Instead of removing parents from the story, many newer films keep them present — flawed, learning, and sometimes even apologizing to their kids.In this episode of KDTime, let's take a deep dive into how family dynamics in animated films evolved from the earliest classics like Snow White, Bambi, and Cinderella, to modern stories like Encanto, Turning Red, and beyond.Why did Disney storytelling shift from survival to emotional healing?What does this say about changing cultural values around parenting and family?And how did an entire generation raised on these films influence the stories being told today?Join me as we explore one of the biggest narrative evolutions in animation history — and what it reveals about the generations who grew up watching.If you like what you hear join the movement linktr.ee/kdtimeEnjoy > Subscribe > Share
We throw ourselves into a brutally fun Disney Would You Rather showdown where every choice comes with a consequence — and there's absolutely no fence-sitting allowed. Encanto is coming to Animal Kingdom… so do you double down with another blockbuster attraction or finally fix Tomorrowland once and for all? Only visit EPCOT during festivals… or give them up forever in exchange for a free table service meal every visit? Build a fifth gate in Orlando… or continually expand the four parks we already love? And that's just the beginning. We debate ride strategy chaos like standby-only Guardians vs virtual queue forever, losing all boat rides vs losing all dark rides, and whether you'd rather guarantee Flight of Passage stays under 30 minutes or finally see the Yeti working perfectly again. Then we dive into dining dilemmas, resort loyalty tests, and park-day strategy battles that reveal what kind of Disney fan you really are — rope drop every day or close the parks every night? Plan everything 60 days out or completely wing it? This episode is part nostalgia, part strategy, part chaos — and 100% the kind of conversation that will have you yelling your answers at your speakers.

Puerto Rico, la cuarta isla más grande del Caribe, fue durante cuatro siglos uno de los baluartes más importantes de la corona española en América. A diferencia de la práctica totalidad de la América hispana, no participó en las guerras de independencia del siglo XIX. Se mantuvo primero como una capitanía general remota y luego como una provincia. En 1897, ya en plena guerra de Cuba, el gobierno español le otorgó la Carta Autonómica, un estatuto de autogobierno muy avanzado para la época. Pero aquello duró apenas unos meses, el estallido de la guerra con Estados Unidos puso fin repentina e inesperadamente a una prolongada y tranquila etapa de la historia de la isla. El 25 de julio de 1898 tropas estadounidenses desembarcaron en Guánica. Ese sería el comienzo de una ocupación militar que culminaría con la entrega de la isla. Con el Tratado de París España cedió formalmente un territorio que los nuevos dueños consideraban un botín de guerra. Tras dos años de control militar directo la Ley Foraker de 1900 estableció un gobierno civil que dependía por completo de Estados Unidos. Era de facto una colonia, algo inaceptable para un país como Estados Unidos que se habían sacudido el yugo colonial solo un siglo antes. El Tribunal Supremo tuvo que intervenir creando una singularidad jurídica. Puerto Rico pasaría a pertenecer, pero no formaría parte de Estados Unidos. En ese limbo los puertorriqueños se mantendrían durante años. Los planes que tenían en Washington para Puerto Rico pasaban por convertir la isla en una gigantesca plantación de azúcar controlada por empresas estadounidenses que se beneficiaban de una mano de obra abundante y barata. Con la Ley Jones de 1917 se concedió la ciudadanía estadounidense a sus habitantes y se intensificó una política de americanización acelerada. Los gobernadores, nombrados por el presidente, trataron de asimilar a los puertorriqueños suprimiendo la lengua española de la enseñanza y de la vida pública. Eso y la miseria en la que vivía la mayor parte de los puertorriqueños generó mucha resistencia y allanó el camino para que surgiesen movimientos nacionalistas como el de Pedro Albizu Campos. Albizu cuestionaba abiertamente la soberanía estadounidense. Estaba convencido de que la lucha armada seguida de una revolución era el único camino posible. Terminó en la cárcel y los nacionalistas fueron puestos fuera de la ley. A finales de los años 30 emergió la figura de Luis Muñoz Marín y su Partido Popular Democrático, que, partiendo del independentismo, proponía una solución pragmática a los problemas de la isla. Con el apoyo del gobierno de Roosevelt y el impulso de la Operación Manos a la Obra, Puerto Rico fue abandonando el monocultivo azucarero y se industrializó con gran rapidez gracias a una serie de incentivos fiscales para las empresas estadounidenses. Esas reformas alumbraron una nueva clase media pero también provocaron la emigración de muchos puertorriqueños hacia ciudades como Nueva York. Ya en 1952, tras reprimir la revolución nacionalista de 1950, se proclamó el Estado Libre Asociado. Este nuevo estatus permitió a la isla tener su propia constitución y un autogobierno muy amplio. Ese fue el origen del Puerto Rico actual, un país un tanto peculiar, a caballo entre dos mundos, que tras medio siglo viviendo peligrosamente, supo conservar su idioma, su cultura y sus costumbres frente al país más poderoso del mundo. Ya sólo por eso lo de Puerto Rico, que es conocida como la isla del Encanto, debería llamarse la isla del milagro.
