Victory Through Air Power - 1943 Animated Documentary

Victory Through Air Power - 1943 Animated Documentary

Today we have a rather obscure film to discuss, one of Disney's least known animated movies, Victory Through Air Power! This 1943 film was made to help turn the tide of World War Two, after which it fell into obscurity and was rarely seen outside the Disney Vault again.

Sarah sent me a note after the episode originally went up, clarifying something she misspoke on when we recorded last year, so I'll drop her correction here:

"I accidentally said WW2 when talking about the beginning of air warfare instead of WW1. Don’t know how much it matters; but of course it bugs me. If you’d like to put some kind of a foot note/asterisk about it please feel free."

The Nutcracker & the Four Realms - 2018 - With Trivial Theater & Katie Fabrick

It's a brand new episode in the Fantasia Series! This past week and a half, I have been sharing episodes from a podcast series on Fantasia, which were all recorded in 2019. Since I was re-releasing the series, I decided that it was now or never if I was going to tackle the 2018 film The Nutcracker & the Four Realms. A film with the flimsiest of ties to Fantasia, but there were ties nonetheless.

To spice things up, I invited Katie Fabrick back, as well as Nicki from Trivial Theater, who always makes even the worst movies fun to talk about.
