Dream a Little Deeper5 – BambiAlex’s research got away from her again this week, and thus goes into detail on the production history of Bambi, from animation reference research and techniques to adaptational changes, as well as reactions to the film upon release. Harrison goes in on Thumper and the issues with Disney films overall he represents. Alex ponders the eternal question “is skunk gay?” Harrison once again criticizes the film’s pacing. Our hosts also examine why this movie hates parents, emotional manipulation in Disney films, the effectiveness of the film’s conservationist intentions, sudden tonal shifts, the role of women as depicted i...2020-12-2200 minDream a Little Deeper4 – DumboLet’s get ready to Dumbooooooooooo!! Alex went overboard on research this week and showed up to record with a dozen pages of notes on the history of United States labor relations, the rise of unions, the 1941 animators’ strike, and Walt’s attitudes towards unions and “communism.” With this context, Alex and Harrison dig in properly, specifically discussing the explicit racism present in Dumbo, how the film envisions personal satisfaction and fulfillment, and the emotional impact of everything surrounding Dumbo’s mom. Harrison talks about the Pink Elephants sequence and how it’s emblematic of squash and stretch animation. Alex also trie...2020-12-1500 minDream a Little Deeper3 – FantasiaThis week, Alex goes through Fantasia’s production history, the distinctions between American and European animation styles, the sound design woes that plagued the film’s release, and Fantasia’s critical reception. Harrison enters full stan mode, but Alex has questions about why this, of all the Disney films, hits Harrison so hard. Our hosts also dig into the objectionable depictions of race in the Pastoral Symphony and Nutcracker Suite sequences. A lot of this is Harrison just gushing about how good this movie is on all fronts, and how inseparable it is from his feelings on Kingdom Hearts. Alex...2020-12-0800 min

Harrison gets really excited about multiplane shots, water, and butter. Our hosts grapple with the question of who is at fault for the events that befall Pinocchio and the associated confusing messages surrounding consciences (and consciousness). Harrison analyzes the class themes buried in various characters’ clothing, an...2020-12-0100 minDream a Little Deeper1 – Snow White and the Seven DwarfsOn this first episode of Dream a Little Deeper, Alex outlines the methodology for the show and quickly details animation history leading up to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Every guest puzzles over if Snow White is actually a good film or not, while reflecting on the image of Walt Disney in pop culture. Harrison questions the film’s length and pacing in terms of narrative structure, and both hosts have concerns about some latent labor, class, and gender themes throughout the film. Alex also feels the need to explain her head canon for the ending, and Harrison mo...2020-11-2400 min
