Disney Movies: Live-Action vs. Animated
Hey everyone, I’m Mike, she’s Sophie, that’s Brenda, and and he’s Grogu, and we’re On the Road with Mickey! This is episode 107 for January 31, 2022, and our feature topic is Disney Movies: Live-Action vs. Animated! We’re taking a look at the Disney movies that have both an animated version as well as live-action remake version, and picking our favorites and why. Here’s the rundown of what we talked about:
- Cheddar from the Big Cheese
- Sophie: Over at Disneyland, the late Dave Smith, Disney Legend, and the founder of the Walt Disney Archives, was honored with a window at Disneyland. We grabbed a picture of the window to share with you.
- Brenda: Disney announced that they are going to have a Pixar Day at Sea on select sailings of the Disney Fantasy in 2023! Right now it is set for January – March, 2023, but who knows, if it goes well, perhaps they will extend that?
- Mike: Interesting timing on this bit of cheddar, seeing as what our feature topic is today. Turns out that Disney is working on a live action version of The Aristocats. What are your thoughts on this?
