This episode contains unfiltered conversations about a problematic time in Disney film history when women and racial groups were grossly misrepresented in media. There is very little editing done to this episode because strongly believe that these conversations need to be heard by those who are, especially, uncomfortable with having organic dialogues about racial equality. It is okay to be uncomfortable as long as you listen with intention and proceed knowing that you are still learning and growing in this process. Due to explicit language, LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. Follow our guest, Victoria, on social media!!

If you've ever heard of a little podcast called "Dream a Fantastic Dream", then these voices will sound familiar to you. But if you're new here, welcome to "The Fantasy Files"! We are three friends who came together two years ago via social media and podcasting. Armida and Skyler (who have been dating for over two years) met Jerad when he made a guest appearance on their old show "Dream a Fantastic Dream" and it was friendship at first sight. Ever since then, they have shared a love of theme parks, pop culture, and laughs with the rest of the world. In this episode, we introduce our hosts to a new audience by answering the basic questions every Disney fan has an answer to. Afterwards, we recap what we've seen in 2023 from Disney news and what we should be expecting in 2024. You can follow your hosts on social media!
