As much as Disney movies may have delighted and entertained us throughout our lives, what makes these movies so special is their ability to scare the pants off us. In this mini-episode of We Want The D Vicky, Nolan and Jill are reopening old wounds and facing old fears as we recount the scariest moments from some of our most beloved or not-so-beloved Disney films from our childhood. 

It's easy to imagine a reality where Disney's Around the World in 80 Days went down in history as a classic. After all, it stars noted and beloved martial artist and actor Jackie Chan, the versatile British comedian and performer Steve Coogan, and features enough cameos in the second half that it almost made our hosts' heads spin. But, alas, that is not the reality, as this live action cartoon ended up bombing hard at the box office, despite all it had going for it. Where did it all go wrong? Could it have been the choice to let one of Adam Sandler's buddies, whose last film was The Waterboy, direct an action-packed, globe-spanning adventure? The decision to change protagonists partway through probably didn't help much. It's unclear whether getting all the British actors to act approximately 200% more British helped or hurt the film in the end. Join Vicky, Nolan and Jill as we try to get to the bottom of what went wrong this week on We Want The D.

EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING. We Want The D is always marked explicit everywhere you listen, but this (not so) mini episode deserves a second warning. Probably a third and fourth, too. Because Vicky, Nolan and Jill are fulfilling the request of multiple listeners to explore the world of Disney Fan Fiction, and boy howdy if it isn't every bit as crass, hyper-sexualized and downright disturbing as we hoped and feared. Needless to say, this is a non-family friendly episode of a podcast that not very family friendly to begin with. You're gonna need headphones for this one. Keep out of reach of children and those with heart conditions. MOM, DON'T LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE.

This week on We Want The D, Vicky, Nolan and Jill face a brand new challenge - how do you talk about a movie that is actually just several episodes of a television show from the late 1950s edited together for a theatrical release? To our hosts' dismay, the answer is "with difficulty." The series the movie is cut from, Disney's very popular 'Zorro,' came out long before the golden age of television, so the resulting film is a bit lacking when it comes to impressive set pieces, non-expository dialogue, or basically any scene that was filmed in anything but a wide shot of a studio backlot. Sure, there's sword fights, a singing sergeant and some very odd sign language; but it doesn't really add up to much. At least not much worth talking about.
