Once Upon A Disney

I have learned so much about screenwriting and story structure from this podcast.If you love Disney films and story telling this is truly one of the best podcasts out there.

This is the BEST podcast on all things Disney. Larry Brenner is simply AMAZING at breaking down Disney films but more importantly, he infuses each episode with joy, humor, candor, and insightful observations that I guarantee you will enjoy immensely! This podcast is wonderful for those who are casual watchers of Disney movies, those who are more avid fans and everyone in between. I could listen to Larry talk about Disney for days. This is a light hearted, fun, entertaining and immensely joyful and intelligent podcast. Check it out today .... You won’t be disappointed! Edited: I’ve since listened to more episodes and the podcast just keeps getting better and better. The episodes are thoughtful, insightful, produced well, and it’s clear they have a passion for Disney and really take the time to highlight aspects of the films in a way that is so fun for listeners. Start listening today!

Andie and Larry have really given me a better appreciate for the story telling and intrigue to Disney movies. I hadn’t watched much Disney since childhood until I started listening along and considering the narrative break downs that they they do so well. I honestly think this podcast has made me a better writer and teacher.

Once Upon a Disney is the perfect listen for anyone wanting to nerd out over Disney films and literary analysis. Even casual Disney movie fans will delight in the fun conversations about these films and characters that are such a big part of our culture. Unlike many film deconstructionists, Andie and Larry bring big Disney love to the conversation. They’re not here to ruin your childhood favorites, but instead bring a deeper understanding and appreciation for the art of these stories. Their insights and humor make me want to rewatch old favorites, and their unique perspectives make the old new again. I have a feeling that each new episode of this podcast is going to prompt a rewatch of whatever film they discuss, and I am here for it. As a side note - My teenage sons were in the car listening along with me and couldn’t help being drawn in. The first episode prompted great family conversations (and - bonus - reinforced learning objectives from their language arts classes). Thank you for making it family-friendly. I can’t wait for the next episode!
