Silent Beginnings: Battle of the Cinderellas (1922)

This month, two animation legends enter the ring. Only one shall leave victorious... Well, history decided on a winner, but Miss Abigail (@onceuponafine) and myself may have different thoughts on who deserved the crown. Along the way, we discuss which Disney Princess we each identify with, the early lives and careers of Miss Reiniger and Mr. Disney, and Walt's near-mythical name brand legacy. This was all accomplished before the stroke of midnight. So strap in, besties! We bout to go from rags to riches.You can find the show @disreeltoreelpodcast and host Wyatt @goldenafternoon51 on Instagram!Feel free to write in at [email protected].
