In this episode, Tracey and Scott continue their 2012 Salute to Shorts monthly series with a discussion of the Disney Studios first sound cartoon, and Mickey Mouse’s official debut: Steamboat Willie from 1928. They trace the history of this significant short and share their thoughts on the film.

Disney, Indiana – Episode 100 – Who Framed Disney, Indiana?

Hello everyone and welcome to a very special episode, number 100! For this milestone episode our hosts decided to cover something near and dear to co-host Scott’s heart. That’s right, it’s time for Wall-to-Wall Roger Rabbit in Disney, Indiana!

They start off in Belle’s books with a look at what started it all with a review of Gary K. Wolf’s 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? After that, they head over to the Main Street Cinema to review the 1988 classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit, directed by Robert Zemeckis and released by Disney-owned Touchstone Pictures. Besides the film, they also review the three Roger Rabbit shorts released to the Big Screen.

Once they finish their popcorn, they return to Belle’s to review Gary K. Wolf’s follow-up novel Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit? and end their journey around Toontown at the Ink and Paint Club to talk about how Roger Rabbit and his pals have been used at the Disney parks around the world.

All that, plus some Roger Rabbit music on WWED, a call over to the Main Street Cinema and some very cool feedback!

Welcome to Disney, Indiana!
