About this episode

We've run away to join the circus with yet another Disney Animated Classic to review and we've gone all the way back to 1941 to review the shortest film in the Disney Canon, in Dumbo.  Unlike the eponymous elephant, we have plenty to say as we tackle a film that includes one of Walt's greatste creations of a beloved and adorable children's character with some outright ugly representations and tactics by Walt & co.  Join your favourite Disney Podcasting team - Ellie, Ethan, and Ian – alongside our special attraction, Dan from the Lil' Bitch Pod, as we analyse Dumbo..  Ellie swoons over baby Dumbo, Ethan and Ian discuss the crows at considerable length, Dan tries to make some sense of Pink Elephants on parade, Ian wishes everything didn't fade out so abruptly and we're all a bit worried that we've broken Dumbo for Dan and we consider if this wouldn't have been a better choice as a package film.

In other Disney news, we give the 2nd episode of "Muppets Now" a look and see if it's fool me twice or as refreshing as a Danny Treljo taco, we discuss Disney's move to put Mulan on Demand at a Premium price, and Ethan tries to get us to care about Tron 3 (It's not working).

So, catch up on some great Disney content and then join the conversation (@talkthemickey), Instagram (@talkingthemickey), or on our Facebook page (@talkingthemickey).  If you comment, you may end up among our 'shoutouts of the week.'  

While you're at it,  why not leave a review for us on Apple Podcasts and make us feel pretty dang special after all?  5 stars of special if you're so inclined.

To hear more from Dan and the folks at Lil' BItch Pod hit them up on Twitter @lilbitchpod, Instagram @lilbitchpod or subscribe on the podcatcher of your choice.
