Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1976 to pick an ambitious misfire released just in time for America's bicentennial, a would-be epic treasure hunt adventure set in the Reconstruction-era American South that aims to be Budget Mark Twain by way of Budget Robert Louis Stevenson, depicting America as a chaotic lawless hellscape where former slave...
A Tale of Two Critters (with Meet the Robinsons director Stephen Anderson!)
March 02, 2024 08:02 - 1 hour - 41 MBIt's WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney, as we devote March 2024 to movies, featurettes and/or TV specials produced by Walt Disney Productions during that odd, awkward inbetween time from 1968-1984, after Walt died but before Eisner took over! And for our first episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, we're joined by the man who literally wrote the soon-to-be-released book on that era, Meet the Robinsons director Stephen Anderson! And for our topic, the random...
World's Deadliest S3E1 - War of the Carnivores
February 24, 2024 14:33 - 46 minutes - 31.2 MBThis week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2019 to pick yet another NatGeo special! And since it's become abundantly clear that every NatGeo special is exactly the same, I'm gonna devote the rest of this description to talking about the life of actor/comedian Chris Elliott. Born in 1960 in New York City as the fifth and youngest child of Bob Elliott of Bob & Ray fame, Mr. Elliott was hired as a production assistant on Late Night with David Letterman and soon began playing various wa...

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
December 20, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 121 MBThis week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, which in this case doubles as a belated Christmas episode AND triples as an even-more-belated Halloween episode! Our good friend and newly-sentient amorphous blob of characters Garrett Smith "makes" us watch one of the most groundbreaking animated features of all time, a 1993 stop-motion animated borderline-experimental quasi-operatic tone poem of a film about the shenanigans that ensue when the bored leader of ...
Arendelle Castle Yule Log: Cut Paper Edition
December 13, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBThis week, for our belated second Christmas episode of this winter season, the randomizer goes back to 2021 to pick another piece of Disney+ original content that continued the grand holiday tradition of the televised Yule Log.

Disney Holiday Magic Quest (2020)
December 06, 2023 09:43 - 59 minutes - 38.5 MBThis week, for our first Christmas episode of 2023, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2020 to pick a heartwarming holiday special made when the world was struggling through an unprecedented catastrophic global pandemic, so naturally The Disney Channel thought it'd be a swell idea to take a quartet of promising young actors from the ZOMBIES movies (I swear we didn't mean to cover two ZOMBIES tie-in specials in a row, the randomizer just works in mysterious ways sometimes), entice them...
BONUS MINISODE! What Else Is NOT on Disney+? (part 16)

ZOMBI-Thon with Big City Greens
October 25, 2023 12:46 - 57 minutes - 37.4 MBThis week, for our second of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2022 to cover that time the Disney Channel cartoon about noseless cornlike rural caricatures spent an entire half-hour special shamelessly promoting the trilogy of Disney Channel movie musicals about various high-school-age monsters who don't act like monsters except when they do. If that sounds random and arbitrary to you, try recording a podcast about it where exactly one out of four pe...
Frankenweenie (1984)
October 18, 2023 08:20 - 1 hour - 40.4 MBThis week, for our first of two Halloween episodes of the year, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1984 to cover one of the earliest live-action efforts of a rising young talent by the name of Tim Burton, who in this landmark early work explored many of the very same themes and motifs that would later become ubiquitous in his filmography, including the juxtaposition of mundane suburban life with horror-fantasy tropes, the celebration of misunderstood outsiders over bland conformists, an...
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh S1E4 - Find Her, Keep Her
October 11, 2023 19:24 - 1 hour - 50 MBThis week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode, in which our good friend Madeline Maye makes us watch one of the first episodes of a 1988 ABC Saturday morning cartoon produced by Walt Disney Television Animation, a series that came about when the executives said "So yeah, Winnie the Pooh's a big popular brand for us, let's just slap together a cute little Pooh show to sell some more plush toys to pre-schoolers, it doesn't need to be mindblowing or anything." ...

Once Upon A Time S1E12 - Skin Deep
August 30, 2023 20:01 - 1 hour - 46.4 MBAt long last, this week the randomizer wraps up Patreon Request Month 2023 by going all the way back to 2012 to pick Nick F's request for an episode of the OTHER project titled "Once Upon A (something)" that first aired on ABC in which Disney tried to cram every last Disney character onscreen together. Specifically a season one episode that had the bold vision to say, "hey, remember when Disney retold a tale as old as time so absolutely perfectly that it became the first-ever animated featur...

August 23, 2023 13:48 - 49 minutes - 32.4 MBIt's Week #4 of Patreon Request Month 2023, and the randomizer is going all the way back to 2023 to pick Tony Cogan's request for two specific episodes of the second volume of the series that boldly combined the two most reasonable fandoms known to man, Star Wars and anime!

And the movie boldly exists as well, transforming the uniquely-designed clothed bipedal dog-like characters in the cartoon int...
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
August 09, 2023 09:14 - 1 hour - 40.5 MBIt's Week #2 of Patreon Request Month 2023, and the randomizer is going all the way back to 1997 to pick Andrew Weiss's request for Disney's very first live-action direct-to-video sequel, continuing the wacky adventures of Wayne Szalinski, the genius inventor played by easily one of the six or seven funniest people from SCTV (that's not an insult, they were just all really great and it's really hard to rank them) who miraculously invented a shrink ray that could solve world hunger and revolu...
The Super Hero Squad Show S1E19 - Election of Evil!
August 02, 2023 12:43 - 42 minutes - 28.4 MBThis week, the randomizer kicks off Patreon Request Month 2023 by going all the way back to 2010 to pick Gordhan Rajani's request for an episode of an animated Marvel series that aired on Cartoon Network, in which the superheroes looked like Chibi knockoffs, called themselves "Squaddies" for some cosmically appalling reason, lived in a town with very few non-superheroes, and elected Stan Lee as their mayor until they didn't. Also we get to hear Wayne Knight graduate from voicing a guy dress...

July 19, 2023 04:36 - 1 hour - 39 MBThis week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2009 to pick yet another Disney Channel Original Movie, and in this case, it's a DCOM about that strange mysterious fantastical creature known colloquially as the "chicken." What is a chicken? Where did they come from? What do they want from us? Which came first, the chicken or the guy named Pete? What does a guy named Pete have to do with any of this? Why in God's name did the Disney Channel think it was a great idea to make a movie about ...

July 12, 2023 12:14 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBThis week we're bypassing the randomizer for yet another Guest's Choice episode which also happens to be another Channel KRT crossover, in which the very awesome Kit Quinn "makes" us watch one of the very finest pieces of mainstream filmmaking of the 2010s, a megabudgeted CGI-heavy blockbuster tentpole sequel set in an expansive cinematic universe in which visionary writer/director James Gunn, rather than simply make a soulless cash grab and let the franchise spin its wheels, uses his uniq...
Davy Crockett and the River Pirates
July 05, 2023 20:22 - 1 hour - 46.8 MBThis week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1956 to pick a relic from the bygone era when those mysterious newfangled "tele-visions" in people's houses would only broadcast shows at very specific dates and times, and if you wanted to watch something again, you had to wait for it to become a big-enough pop culture phenomenon to be repackaged for the big screen and shown at your local cinema. Fortunately, that very thing happened to Walt Disney's prequel miniseries about the original co...

Alaska's Deadliest S1E2 - Killer Whale Kingdom
May 31, 2023 13:46 - 48 minutes - 32.4 MBThis week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2018 to pick yet another NatGeo special! And since it's become abundantly clear that every NatGeo special is exactly the same, I'm gonna devote the rest of this description to talking about the life of Daryl Hall. Born in 1946 in Pottstown, PA, Mr. Hall majored in music at Temple University in Philadelphia, met his performing partner John Oates in 1967, and together the duo of Hall & Oates enlivened pop radio in the 70s and 80s with such sma...

Basically, it was one of the far-too-infrequent times in Walt's career when he swung for the fen...

And to wrap the month up, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1958 to cover one of Walt Disney's "True-Life Adventures" nature documentaries, specifically a particularly infamous little film about Arctic fauna that you probably know by reputation even if you don't quite recognize the title. But once you Google the title, your response is probably something along the lines of "Oh God no...OH GOD NO NOT *THA...

March 22, 2023 15:24 - 53 minutes - 31.5 MBNOT ON DISNEY+ MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney just keeps on lumbering along! For our fourth and penultimate week of Not On Disney+ Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1999 to cover a documentary on the man who originally created, designed and animated the world's most famous tri-circled talking cartoon rodent. The rodent's name was of course Mickey Mouse, but the man's name, contrary to popular belief, was not Walt Disney, nor was it arguably a human name at all. I mean, the ...

Remember when they were actually romantic and actually funny and you'd actually enjoy watching them? Yeah, us neither, but apparently the director of that cheerleader movie does, and he some...
NOT ON DISNEY+ MONTH: The Devil and Max Devlin
March 01, 2023 13:26 - 1 hour - 40.8 MBIt's NOT ON DISNEY+ MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney, in which this podcast ventures outside the confines of Disney+ for the first and only time! And for our first of five episodes of Not On Disney+ Month, say, did you know that in 1981, Disney made a movie where Bill Cosby played a demon from Hell? Cuz it's true! In 1981, Disney made a movie where Bill Cosby played a demon from Hell. Now, for some unknowable reason, Disney has seen fit to exclude their 1981 Disney movie where Bill Cosby pl...
The Finest Hours
February 22, 2023 16:46 - 56 minutes - 32.2 MBThis week, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2016 to cover a biopic about the United States Coast Guard's heroic 1952 rescue of the crew of the S.S. Pendleton, often rightly touted as one of the most daring rescue missions in military history.

I'll give you a fantasy!" And because everyone in the 80s knew for a fact that Lord of the Rings would never ever ever be a live-action movie, George instead threw together a buncha sw...
