We Want The D

Disney films have shaped and supported childhoods for over 75 years. But when you watch them as adults there are things that make you want to unfreeze Walt's head and say, "What the hell, guy?!". Tune in each week to hear Vicky, Nolan, and Jill rip apart, analyse, and laugh at beloved childhood classics from the Disney catalogue.

Trick or Treat, D-Lovers, it's time for another We Want The D Halloween Special Spectacular. Having burned through so much of Disney's theatrical Halloween offerings, Vicky, Nolan and Jill are forced to turn to the strange and largely mediocre world of Disney Channel Original Movies once again, this time tackling the bizarrely beloved HALLOWEENTOWN. While our hosts can largely agree that Debbie Reynolds is an angel taken from us too soon, that's about where the common opinions stop as one host actively hated the movie, another actively loved it, and the other may have only given it the bare minimum amount of attention to qualify as having "watched" it. Much like those opinions, this episode is a bit all over the place, but we hope you'll enjoy it all the same as we unpack the story of an annoyingly lame tween, a weirdly Oedipal adolescent boy, and an all-powerful witch child going to visit their grandma in her boring little town.

We're in that spooky time of year again, D-Lovers, and that means its time to tap that rich vein of theatrical Disney Halloween movies...unfortunately thanks to our Halloween month a few years back that vein is mostly dry, so we're left with material like THE WATCHER IN THE WOODS. While probably the closest thing to a straight-up horror movie that Disney has ever done, all the classic set-ups for scares, 70s teen fashion, and Bette Davis castings in the world couldn't save this movie once they decided on the nonsense non-ending - even though it was the third or fourth one they tried.

We Want The D returns to the romantic life of the traveling circus in this week's episode. Vicky, Nolan and Jill are once again itching to be charmed by wild animals in small cages, casual child endangerment, and that good 1880s era stank. And boy does Disney's TOBY TYLER deliver on all those fronts and more. It's hard not be delighted by recurring We Want The D favourite Kevin Corcoran (aka Jimmy Bean) in his first real starring role we've seen so far, even our hosts constantly fear that an angry chimp will rip his face off, he'll take a tumble off a bareback horse, or he'll fall fully into the nefarious and creepy clutches of Concessonaire Extraordinaire Mr. Tupper.

Oh. My. God. D-Lovers - have you seen Disney's MALEFICENT? Have you seen how good Angelina Jolie looks in this movie? Have you seen her incredible performance as Maleficent? She's so powerful, so beautiful; whether she is wearing a cowl of snake skin or black silk. With or without her wings (so cruelly garotted off by Shartlo Copley) she strikes a very good silhouette, always perfectly lit. She is the only thing in this movie - as evidenced by the fact that, despite some pretty decent production design and a few half-explored themes, it's the only thing that Vicky, Nolan and Jill can talk about. Seriously, she is so beautiful. Especially next to Elle Fanning's gross hands.
