Hey, all.
Disney+ launched a few days ago, and there has been talk about some of the entries that Disney is making available from back in the “old days.”
Back when Ryan and I talked about the live action release of Dumbo, we took a tangent and talked about the (no pun intended) elephant in the room: Disney’s historic portrayal of race. As it wasn’t directly relevant to our review, I cut it out and built an episode of “What The Fuck Was That?” out of it.
We try not to court controversy here, so after some discussion, we decided to sit on this episode, and yes, the irony of that decision is not lost on me.
Regardless, as we talk about Disney+ in here, this seemed like an opportune time to pull this one “out of the vault” and release it.
Challenging, but necessary.
Have a listen.
