The history of Disney is a history of war, capitalism, art, politics, and death. But to a "Disney family", it's also a history of joy and love. Can a podcast be about two things?? Join Isaac Coleman (Second Opinion) and his mother, Ruhe, as they watch every film in the Disney Animated Canon and talk about how it was made, what it means, and why they love it - or don't.

Fun, Funny, & Nostalgic

The Coleman’s being their love of Disney movies to you, peppered with interesting historical facts, funny takes, and Disney-family appreciation. Even if you haven’t seen every Disney movie, each episode is an enjoyable listen.
What’s also appreciated is the critical modern lens - the Coleman’s don’t gloss over the bad, and this isn’t some canned Disney-sponsored historical lens, instead they talk about what failed and provide resources to explain the most offensive caricatures.
All-in-all, love this podcast. The Coleman’s are hilarious and brighten up each of my Fridays.
Can’t wait until the next episode.
