Disney, Indiana cannot be found on any standard map. It's more of a state of mind, or more precisely a state of heart.
Hello everyone and welcome to a very special episode, number 100! For this milestone episode our hosts decided to cover something near and dear to co-host Scott's heart. That's right, it's time for Wall-to-Wall Roger Rabbit in Disney, Indiana!
They start off in Belle's books with a look at what started it all with a review of Gary K. Wolf's 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? After that, they head over to the Main Street Cinema to review the 1988 classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit, directed by Robert Zemeckis and released by Disney-owned Touchstone Pictures. Besides the film, they also review the three Roger Rabbit shorts released to the Big Screen.
Once they finish their popcorn, they return to Belle's to review Gary K. Wolf's follow-up novel Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit? and end their journey around Toontown at the Ink and Paint Club to talk about how Roger Rabbit and his pals have been used at the Disney parks around the world.
All that, plus some Roger Rabbit music on WWED, a call over to the Main Street Cinema and some very cool feedback!
Hello everyone! In today's episode, the town high mucky-mucks were called away for some very important business out of town and were not available to host the show. But don't fear everyone, as our neighborhood cinema projectionist Mortis was able to fill in and bring you the episode this week.
Mortis shares some audio that Tracey and Scott recorded during the Disney Alaskan cruise they took last fall. We would like to give a big thank you to Mortis for stepping in and helping put together this show.
Your regular hosts will be back next time with episode number 100 and a topic that is near and dear to Scott's heart.

Our co-hosts also share their thoughts on the Disney In Concert: Magical Music from the Movies event they attended last month in Cincinnati. They wrap up the show with a call over to the Main Street Cinema and a report from a listener who attended the 24 hr One More Disney Day event in Disneyland.
The time has come, my little friends, to talk of other things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wigs
Calloo, Callay, come run away
With the cabbages and kings.
Well, we don't have much on cabbages and kings, but we do have a lot of Alice to make up for that! In episode number 94 of the Disney, Indiana podcast our hosts get lost in Wonderland and they take a look at both the 1951 and 2010 Disney Alice and Wonderland films. They take a look at each film's creation, story, music and history before they put them head to head to find out which they enjoy more.
Buzzy over at WWED joins in the madness as well by sharing some songs from both Alice in Wonderland versions, including a rare recording from the 1950 Disney special "One Hour in Wonderland".
Tracey and Scott are not finished with Alice after they leave Wonderland either. They turn their attention to the Alice Comedies created by Walt Disney in the 1920s in this month's Salute to Shorts segment.
They wrap up the show with a call over to the Main Street Cinema and some listener feedback. It's all here in episode 94.
There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter. Luckily, we are!
Welcome to Disney, Indiana!
