Disney Decade: The 1960s

In this groovy episode of Enchanted Ears Podcast, we talk about Disney during the 1960s. But first, there was quite a bit of news last week. In a fantastic turn of events, we finally get to talk about Hamilton the Musical as a Disney property!!! Yep...Disney paid $75 mil to own the filmed version of the original cast’s performance on Broadway, which they’ll make back in 1 night. Disney announced the release dates for several of their most highly-anticipated shows including The Mandalorian season 2, Wandavision, and more. Also, you’ll be able to start booking your fully-immersive Star Wars experience at the Galactic Starcruiser hotel later this year, so start saving your money now!!! Finally, someone is rumored to be in talks to direct the new Star Wars films and let’s just say we called it. This week, we continue our Disney Decades series with the 1960s. So much happens in this decade it’s hard to fit it all in (and we certainly missed a lot). During this decade we see the inception of a lot of iconic Disney classic movies, the creation of a new animation process, park ride innovations that blew people’s minds, new parks and parks that never were, and, of course, the death of Walt Disney. This decade brings about a lot of changes that forever impact the trajectory of the Disney company. Don’t miss out!
