Bonus Episode: Goof Troop- Forever Goof (1992)
Listener Beware: Larry has the darkest possible take on Goof Troop, and really goes through some things. Is this show actually a psychological horror series, as he claims?

Brilliant & Fun
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.
Practically Perfect Podcast
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!
Amazing podcast!
Amazing podcast and amazing hosts! Look forward to every episode that’s comes out!
