So Long, Partner

63 Disney Features, 28 Pixar Features, 20 Pixar Shorts, 7 Disney Direct to Home Video, 4 Disney Theme Parks, 2 Disney Novels, and 1 Stage Play. It’s hard to believe it but over the last 5 years, the Disney Dummies covered and talked about all that and more while getting into the thick about the good, bad, funny, and weird about all things Disney. We originally sought out just to watch all the Disney animated feature films but ended up loving doing this podcast so much we stuck around for much longer for all the spinoff series. Alas, all good fairytales must come to an end so join us as we close this magical chapter in our lives and make way for new beginnings as we take a well deserved rest from the show.
