Escape From Vault Disney Tony Goldmark

WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? "MONTH" on Escape From Vault Disney just keeps on lumbering along! For our excruciatingly-belated fourth and penultimate episode of What Would Walt Have Done? "Month," the randomizer goes all the way back to 1971 to cover a made-for-TV movie produced for NBC's weekly "Wonderful World of Disney" showcase, with a daring, I dare say even avant-garde premise: see, there's this horse who - get this - doesn't want to be ridden! Even though he's a horse! Crazy, right? I mean, if he didn't want to be ridden, why'd he become a horse in the first place? Why not instead become some other creature, like an alligator? Or Mitt Romney? No one's ever ridden Mitt Romney! Silly horse thinks he's Mitt Romney. I'm laughing already and it's not even remotely interesting. Join Tony Goldmark, Kyle A. Carrozza, Morgan Funder and Devo Spice as they chop off their hands with a HACKSAW!

It continues to be WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our third episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1981 to pick an animated would-be classic that seemed to have everything going for it: a beautiful nature setting in the Bambi mold, a timeless parabolic story about the irrationality of bigotry, and a once-in-a-lifetime animation crew loaded with literally dozens of future directors. How could they possibly screw that up? Welp, dull dialogue, a meandering story, muddled character motivations, instantly forgettable songs, an inept fumbling of the anti-bigotry message, a side character who should've died inexplicably living, a pointless B-plot where two birds and a caterpillar do third-rate Tom & Jerry shtick, and what the hell, why not throw in some incompetent studio mismanagement that drove about a dozen animators to resign and form their own studio while we're at it, that's how. Meh, at least the furries got something out of it. Join Tony Goldmark, Dave Cobb, Charley Marlowe and Jacob Martin as they try to schedule a disastrous playdate for THE FOX AND THE HOUND!

It's still WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our second episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1976 to pick an ambitious misfire released just in time for America's bicentennial, a would-be epic treasure hunt adventure set in the Reconstruction-era American South that aims to be Budget Mark Twain by way of Budget Robert Louis Stevenson, depicting America as a chaotic lawless hellscape where former slaves run back to their plantations, snake oil medicine can be refashioned into Molotov cocktails, impromptu hoedowns turn into attempted gangbangs at the drop of a hat and we're supposed to take the big evil frightening villain seriously even though his name is "Spangler." Also the guy who voiced Prince John is in it but he doesn't suck his thumb even once. Join Tony Goldmark, Ryan Hipp, Madeline Maye and Chris Nebergall as they fruitlessly hunt for the TREASURE OF MATECUMBE!

It's WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney, as we devote March 2024 to movies, featurettes and/or TV specials produced by Walt Disney Productions during that odd, awkward inbetween time from 1968-1984, after Walt died but before Eisner took over! And for our first episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, we're joined by the man who literally wrote the soon-to-be-released book on that era, Meet the Robinsons director Stephen Anderson! And for our topic, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1977, the summer when Star Wars had the unmitigated audacity to dominate the box office 35 years before Disney owned it. The only competition Disney had that summer was a Herbie sequel and an animated talking mice movie, so the Disney execs thought "Hey, y'know what Walt would've done? He would've paired the animated talking mice movie with 48 minutes of documentary-style footage of a bear and a raccoon in the woods just kinda wandering around, narrated by an obscure country singer who, for thoroughly unclear reasons, is named 'Mayf Nutter.' That'll steer audiences away from Luke Skywalker blowing up the Death Star for sure!" Are you starting to understand why Disney struggled in the 70s? Join Tony Goldmark, Stephen Anderson, David Ganssle and Luke Ski as they chase A TALE OF TWO CRITTERS!

This week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to pick yet another NatGeo special! And since it's become abundantly clear that every NatGeo special is exactly the same, I'm gonna devote the rest of this description to talking about the life of actor/comedian Chris Elliott. Born in 1960 in New York City as the fifth and youngest child of Bob Elliott of Bob & Ray fame, Mr. Elliott was hired as a production assistant on Late Night with David Letterman and soon began playing various wacky characters on-camera. This led to supporting roles in such films as Manhunter, The Abyss, Groundhog Day and There's Something About Mary, as well as starring roles in his own FOX primetime sitcom Get A Life and the feature film vehicle Cabin Boy. More recently, in the 2010s he had his own Adult Swim series Eagleheart, and a regular supporting role on Schitt's Creek. Chris Elliott's surreal, offbeat style of humor has been a comedy staple for over forty years and counting, and he continues to be an always-welcome character actor to this day. Join Tony Goldmark, Morgan Funder, Brianna Garcia and Kit Leitmeyer as they challenge the authority of the WORLD'S DEADLIEST, season three, episode one, "War of the Carnivores!"

A two-and-a-half-hour supercut of all sixteen "What Else Is Not On Disney+?" minisodes, featuring more-or-less the entire conversation Tony Goldmark had with David Ganssle in the spring of 2023 in which they went through the entire Not On Disney+ Month shortlist and said a few words about each item.
