Episode Summary Erin and Rachel discuss Tangled (2010), the 50th animated film from Walt Disney Animation Studios and one of Rachel's favorites. Based on the fairytale of Rapunzel, this coming-of-age tale features songs from Disney veteran Alan Menken and impressive computer animation.

It was another packed night on our weekly live show, and this one pulled from just about every corner of Disney fandom. We got into the latest Disney news out of CinemaCon, the newly announced Star Wars Celebration 2027 details, the ongoing Rock 'n' Roller Coaster set list conversation, Star Wars popcorn buckets, and LEGO Smart Play. That already would have been enough for one episode, but the night kept going. We also talked Hallmark with Holly again, the new It's a Small World Hallmark collection, Earth Day, the live Muppets coaster page, H2O Glow returning to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, and a look back at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster during Easter and Christmas of 1999. If you missed the show, this is your place to catch up on the biggest topics and then jump into the related coverage from the week. Disney News Out of CinemaCon CinemaCon gave Disney fans a lot to talk about this week. Disney used the event to spotlight its upcoming theatrical slate, with presentations spanning Disney Live Action, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, and Searchlight Pictures. Disney also used the moment to launch Infinity Vision, a new premium large format theater certification meant to highlight the biggest and most immersive auditoriums for moviegoers. That made CinemaCon one of the biggest headlines of the week because it was not just about one trailer or one reveal. It was a broader look at where Disney's theatrical business is heading next, which gave this episode a strong headline topic right out of the gate. Star Wars Celebration 2027 Is Heading to Los Angeles One of the biggest Star Wars stories of the week was the official push for Star Wars Celebration 2027 in Los Angeles. StarWars.com confirmed the event will take place April 1 through April 4, 2027, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and the newly released key art pays tribute to the original Tom Jung poster for Star Wars as the franchise approaches its 50th anniversary. That made Celebration feel like more than just another convention update. This is the next major Star Wars fan gathering in the United States, and it is already being framed around one of the most important anniversaries in franchise history. For Star Wars fans, that is a big deal. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Set List Talk Is Not Going Away We also spent time on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster set list conversation, which continues to be one of the most fun fan debates right now. With Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets officially taking shape, the music question has become part of the hype. Disney's official summer page also now lists Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets as arriving May 26, 2026, giving fans even more reason to keep watching for details. LEGO Smart Play Adds Another Layer to the Conversation LEGO Smart Play also made the list this week, adding one more lane to an already stacked show. That is part of what made this episode feel so full. It bounced from theme parks to movies to Star Wars to collectibles without ever staying in one place for too long. Earth Day Brings a Different Kind of Disney Story Earth Day also made its way into the show, giving the episode a broader Disney angle beyond rides, collectibles, and media announcements. Disney Parks Blog highlighted how renewable energy is helping power attractions and hotels across Disney destinations during Earth Month, which gave this week another conversation point tied to how Disney presents its environmental efforts.   H2O Glow Is Back at Typhoon Lagoon H2O Glow After Hours is officially coming back to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. Disney says the event returns on select nights from June 2 through September 5, 2026, and the official event page says this year includes new additions such as Powerline Max and Chip 'n' Dale. Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select other hotels can already buy tickets for dates during their stay, while sales for all other guests begin April 24, 2026. (disneyworld.disney.go.com) Looking Back at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster in 1999 The show also took a nostalgic turn with a look back at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster during Easter and Christmas of 1999. That kind of deep-cut throwback adds a lot to the weekly format because it connects current Disney conversation to the park memories that longtime fans still care about. With the original Rock 'n' Roller Coaster era now giving way to the Muppets version, looking back at 1999 carries even more weight. It is not just nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. It is part of the larger story of how Disney's Hollywood Studios keeps changing. Watch the full live show below.

Flower & Garden Festival Blooms at EPCOT Spring officially arrived at EPCOT as the Flower & Garden Festival opened across the park. Topiaries, gardens, and fresh seasonal color changed the atmosphere almost overnight. This annual shift always gives EPCOT new energy. After Festival of the Arts, Flower & Garden brings a brighter look and a different rhythm to the park. Hoppers Hits Theaters Disney and Pixar's Hoppers arrived in theaters, adding another big entertainment headline to the week. The release gives Disney fans something new to watch beyond the parks while also adding to the larger conversation around Disney animation and theatrical momentum. Winnie the Pooh Gets a Springtime Popcorn Bucket A new Springtime Winnie the Pooh popcorn bucket arrived to celebrate Winnie the Pooh's 100th birthday. The release added another collectible to the growing popcorn bucket lineup and gave fans one more seasonal item to hunt down in the parks. A Muppet Tribute Appears in the Parks A new Muppet Easter egg display appeared as a tribute to The Muppet Show.

Walt Disney Animation Studios has had a rough couple years (to be nice), so it should be a surprise to absolutely no one that I had very little anticipation for Zootopia 2, yet another nearly 10-year late sequel from one of the House of Mouse's big animation studios. I felt this way despite being a kid at the prime age when Zootopia came out, just like I was with Moana and Pixar's Inside Out. But, when I opened social media a few days ago... I was shocked to see this movie getting rave reviews and my curiosity was piqued.So, is Zootopia 2 a worthy sequel to one of the biggest original animated films of all-time?

The first screen adaptation of The Running Man saw four different directors fired, the final director come in once filming had begun (while Arnold Schwarzenegger and his lycra were away from the set). Schwarzenegger would lament the final film, and Stephen King - who penned the original novel (as Richard Bachman) - wouldn't be hugely impressed either. But still: there's a reason it's still talked about today. In development for decades at Walt Disney Animation Studios, meanwhile, was an animated feature surrounding videogaming. Yet it took three attempts to get there, and some pretty complex negotiations too... Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

STUDY GROUP: Goodbye To Disney's Weirdest Era What the hell was that all about? As we leave The Wilderness Years (aka the Oddbod Era, aka the Freak Era) behind, film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers reflect on the long and winding road of movies that encompass the Walt Disney Animation Studio's biggest identity crisis. In this Study Group episode, we try and summarise what the Wilderness Years actually was, and why it's one of the studio's most fascinating eras (despite giant fluctuations in quality) – plus, we rank every film from this era, update our overall Disniversity rankings, and decide what the next era of the show will be. We have a title, and a list of films – listen to the episode to find out what's coming next. Plus, we return to the Dinosaur Song Factory one last time, and Sam delivers a bonus nugget of personal lore related to Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

This is it: the end of the Wilderness Years road. Film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers close out an era in Disney history with 2008's action-packed pup adventure Bolt. Together, they discuss the ways in which the studio finally figured out their approach to making 3D CGI movies, unpick the unconventional production of the fictional ‘Bolt' show, ponder whether it all amounts to animal cruelty, explore how the film borrows from Toy Story and The Matrix, and talk the casting of John Travolta. Plus, Sam gets into some deeply meta Nemo lore, and Ben becomes obsessed with the character the film always needed: Gidget. Next up: Study Group!

With it comes the return of the nighttime spectacular "Wondrous Journeys", originally created for the Disney100 celebration in 2023 honoring the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company.  This nighttime spectacular features moments from every animated feature released by the Walt Disney Animation Studios at that time. Joining me to discuss the creation of this truly spectacular show is the Associate Creative Director, Brian Larsh. Brian worked his way through the ranks of Disney nighttime spectaculars having worked on projects all around the globe.

What's up, Goobs. As the Wilderness Years draw towards an end, film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers go back to the future with 2007's time-travelling oddity Meet The Robinsons. And they're joined by special guest Al Horner, who has his very own peculiar history with what might be *the* defining Wilderness movie. Together, they discuss the oddest Robinsons, discover the joy of ‘crogs', and discuss Walt Disney's vision of a ‘great big beautiful tomorrow'. Plus, Sam unpicks the insane lore of the spin-off game, there's a spot of actual time travel, and Ben ponders the big question: who, exactly, is Pete Robinson? The future has arrived! Next up: Bolt Disniversity is brought to you by Ben Travis (@benstravis) and Sam Summers (@samsummers0), with art by Olly Gibbs and music by Nafets.
