If you had told our hosts at the beginning of this podcasting journey they'd be watching this many movies that feature cougars, it's hard to imagine they'd believe you. Yet here we are, watching CHARLIE, THE LONESOME COUGAR - another entry in the "animal does stuff while a folksy voice narrates" Disney subgenre. At least this time there's a dog named Chainsaw, milk shenanigans, and a climax where it looked like we might actually see a person get mauled by a big cat.

Our hosts' journey through Disney's 1970s theatrical releases ends not with a bang, but with A TALE OF TWO CRITTERS. A sub-one hour movie about a bear cub and baby raccoon that were forced to fight not just each other, but a whole host of other animals from wolverines to geese. But don't worry, there is of course of a folksy voiceover assuring us they were the best of friends and roommates, at least for a time. And since that can only generate so much conversation, there's also a recap of the best and worst of this decade of Disney.

It seems like, at this stage in our little podcasts life, the animal movies are just unavoidable, with no repreive to be found even in animated films. Because HOME ON THE RANGE is, of course, about cows. And cattle resutling. And yodeling. And...hypnosis? It's a little strange, for a number of reasons, but mostly it's just very very average, which is what you would expect from a movie that almost killed 2D animation at Disney for good.

Over the course of this podcast, our hosts have watched package films, real documentaries, fake documentaries and all manner of unexpected plotlines. So it's nice that this many episodes in there's still a few oddball surprises in the Disney theatraical catalog. Like THE YOUNG BLACK STALLION, an IMAX movie that doesn't even break an hour runtime. Which doesn't leave our hosts with a whole lot to talk about, so we decided to honor the occassion of us watching our last Disney horse movie by reflecting on all the previous ones.
