Bonus Episode 37: A Collection of Dodo Don'ts (The Celestial Toymaker Animation)

It’s a full house, as we are joined by both Alan Siler and Diana Birney to discuss the recent animation of The Celestial Toymaker. Will it be the best animation yet, or nothing more than psychedelic nightmare fuel?   Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of the controversial animation style, whether Dodo is the worst companion of all time, the racist under/overtones of the story, possible other animation styles for future missing episode animations, and whether this story might benefit from a full remake by David Lynch. Of course, we consider whether the animation actually improves the story.   If you would like to watch along with us, the animation is available on Blu-Ray and DVD from both Amazon US (https://amzn.to/4fKWlBb) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3Ap2DGq)   Other media mentioned in this episode*: The Magic Roundabout: The Greatest Show on Earth (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3WTmHZ8 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3WOO5re) Scooby Doo Where Are You – The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2WeSMj2 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3zeqTFO) Disney’s Hercules (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3WTmLYS | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4fOXMyA) The Prince of Egypt (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3WN6hl7 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/4cBbvpU) Stephen King’s It (tv miniseries) (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3WN6ipb | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3AwJ2Er) It (movie) (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3XbFMY8 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3YQ823I) The Nightmare Before Christmas (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3Mcy8Gk | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3yI5lGF) Yamoshi – The Legendary Super Saiyan (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/4dLXF5c | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3YUtpAZ) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3WNLnSN | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3ST16id) Squid Game (Netflix: https://www.netflix.com) Dire Straits – Money for Nothing music video (YouTube: https://youtu.be/wTP2RUD_cL0)   Finally, you can follow us and interact with us on our social media accounts - Facebook, Instagram, and X.
