208: Live-Action Films, Documentaries, and the Disney Parks

Did you know Disney released 16 live-action films between One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) and The Sword in the Stone (1963)? You've probably never met anyone whose favorite Disney film is Greyfriars Bobby, but the fact is these films hold a special place in many people's hearts, and they make up a huge portion of the Disney film catalog. On this week's show, Jeff DePaoli of Dizney Coast to Coast joins us for a deep dive into Disney's live-action films, from 1950's Treasure Island to the upcoming live-action remake of Dumbo. We discuss the history of Walt's interest in live action, our favorite films from this category, where these films show up in Walt Disney World, and much more! Plus, Jeremy walks us through ten Disney documentaries he especially recommends Disney fans watch. In another round of Take 5, we use just five words to respond to categories such as "The Current Condition of WDW Monorails" and "Song Titles in Frozen 2." Plus, we discuss the big news that was announced at this year's Destination D. Come join the discussion now!
