Eric looks back at one of the origins of his Disney obsession. DTV was Disney Channel’s answer to MTV in the 1980s. Each episode of the series featured Disney animation clips choreographed to popular music of the time. Eric explores the impact MTV had on Disney’s decision to make this series. He takes a look at the legacy of DTV in Disney History, and exposes some parallels between Walt Disney Productions in the early 1980s and the Walt Disney Company today. Eric also talks, probably too much about the Eurythmics!
