Deep Thoughts about Disney's Robin Hood 56:29

6M ago56:29

56:29

Odelaly and Criminitly! The 1973 animated Robin Hood (with the foxes) is as familiar as matzo-ball soup, but what’s lurking in the comfort?

Deep Thoughts about Disney's Beauty & the Beast 50:11

7M ago50:11

50:11

Tale as old as time? It’s old, alright. True as it can be? Hmm, about that... Beauty and the Beast is an old and not-so-necessary model for romantic love. Hiding in the remarkable Howard Ashman score is a not-like-other-girls feminism and a reified classism that isolates poor Belle and gives her no choice but to fall for her captor. Emily and Traci…
