Ep 19 - The Wild

DISNEY
About this episode

Sometimes the worst films make for the best episodes.  Ethan's pick brings us the 2006 computer-animated debacle that was "The Wild".   Ellie,  Georgia,  Ethan, and Ian debate why the film wanted to keep explicitly reminding us of much better Disney properties,  discuss the shameful Canadiana that was forced to the audience throughout the first act, consider why their were so many characters stuffed into this film if none of them were going to be developed or really have an arc, and ask if anyone cared about Ryan at any point in the film.  Also, who names a Lion cub "Ryan"???  Throw on Disney Plus, catch up on some great Disney content (or this film) and then join the conversation on Twitter  (@talkthemickey), Instagram (@talkingthemickey), or on our BRAND NEW Facebook page (@talkingthemickey).

Also, a massive thanks to our friends over at Feedspot who informed  us that they have included us in their "Top 60 Disney Podcasts You Must  Follow in 2020" rankings where we currently sit at #13 (and I believe  hold the ranking of the top film review Disney podcast in that list).   If you've got a podcast to promote, why not head over to Feedspot and  see how they can help you.  Catch our ranking at  https://blog.feedspot.com/disney_podcasts
