Disney, Indiana – Episode 105 – Oh Mickey You’re So Fine!

Posted on July 22, 2012 by Scott

Today’s episode marks the 4th anniversary of the Disney, Indiana podcast (well, July 26 is the show’s actual birthday). To celebrate, we bring you July’s installment of the yearlong Salute to Shorts segment. In this episode, our hosts take a look at the shorts of Mickey Mouse. No, not the little red ones, but his catalog of short films. They’ll talk a little about some of Mickey Mouse’s history and then review some of the films themselves (including Scott’s favorite, Runaway Brain).

After leaving the theater, our hosts will turn their attention to hidden Mickeys. They’ll explain what they are and then countdown their favorite hidden Mickeys found at the US theme parks.

All that, plus a call to Mortis over at the Main Street Cinema and some Disney music on WWED.

Welcome to Disney, Indiana!
