Frequent We Want the D listeners may recall that our hosts have a lil' bit of baggage when it comes to Disney adapting the work of Mark Twain. But fear not, for their adaptation of what is called the first (or only) great American novel - THE ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN - is a welcome break in the trend. And much like the novel it's based on, there's no shortage of analysis and discussion to be had.

It's time for another one of Disney's period costume dramas, only THE FIGHTING PRINCE OF DONEGAL puts a little bit of a twist on the formula. See, while most of these types of movies were made and released in the 1950s, this one came out in 1966. What does that mean, you ask? Well, instead of starring Richard Todd, this one stars the guy who played Hayley Mills' love interest in The Moon Spinners, and...actually that about covers it.

The Summer of Muppets continues with the latest and to date last theatrical Muppet movie - MUPPETS MOST WANTED. If Disney's 2011 relaunch of the franchise in earnest was a heartfelt and loving tribute to the madcap gang, this follow-up is a reminder that the Muppets are capable of being absolutely off-the-wall zany in just the best way. Packed with more cameos than perhaps any other Muppet movie, more great songs, and more than it's fair share of laughs, if this is the last Muppet movie we get for awhile, it's not the worst note to go out on.

Here's the thing, D-Lovers: it's not that G-FORCE - a Disney movie that answers the unasked question "what if guinea pigs were spies?" - doesn't merit any criticism. There's far too many Black Eyed Peas needle drops for that to be the case. It's just that, in our hosts' estimation, it doesn't merit the amount of criticism it has received. Because at the end of the day, there are a lot worse spy movies than this that don't feature adorable guinea pigs adorably using tiny spy equipment. All we're saying is it seems like everyone had a good time making this movie, and we had a good time watching it, ok?

If only the differences between the original That Darn Cat! and this 90s remake was the missing explanation mark. Disappointingly, this movie doesn't really live up to its predecessor in any real way. But it's also just way, way too strange to say it's an outright bad movie. The tone is stunningly bizarre unlike anything we've seen so far on this Disney odyssey, creating more questions and rabbit holes to go down than one might expect from THAT DARN CAT.
