In this episode, we take on one of Disney’s strangest and most serious films, Victory Through Airpower. Made in the middle of World War II, the movie mixes animation, live action, and straight military argument to push a very specific idea about how the war should be fought.

We break down what the film is trying to say, why Walt Disney chose to make it, and how it was meant to influence public opinion and military thinking. Along the way, we talk about the animation, the tone shift from cartoons to lectures, and how well the message comes across to a modern audience.

In this episode, we take a closer look at Disney’s Saludos Amigos, the 1942 animated film created during Walt Disney’s goodwill tour of Latin America. We break down each segment, summarize the key moments, and talk about what makes the film unique. Along the way, we will share out reactions, discuss the details, and reflect on how the movie holds up today. Stick around for our personal ratings and final thoughts on Saludos Amigos and its place in the Disney canon.

In this episode, we retell the story through our own chaotic lens, breaking down every adorable moment, every questionable forest decision, and of course, that infamous scene we’re all still recovering from.

We walk through the plot from start to finish, unpack the characters, explore the film’s unexpectedly deep themes, and reflect on why this simple story about a young deer has managed to stay in the cultural spotlight for decades.
