Dudes Watch Disney

Happy Holidays, everyone. Dustin and Jake are here to talk Christmas memories, analyze the best and worst Rankin/Bass claymation Christmas specials, and finally review some Disney holiday favorites? It's Mickey's Christmas Carol, Once Upon a Christmas, and Beauty And The Beast's Enchanted Christmas.

It's a lotta f***in Christmas up in here!

In 1995, Disney Animation Studios attempted to turn European Colonialism into a star-crossed, sing-songy, fairy tale romance.

In 2021, Jake and Dustin straight-up DUNKED on it for like ninety minutes. Enjoy

Welp, here's the best film ever.

We couldn't let this one pass us by...

We had so much fun with Aladdin that we decided to follow up with the direct-to-video sequels! This was not a smart decision!

I don't know why, but we talked for three hours about this eighty-minute film. Enjoy?

Muppets. Babies.

Hey it's finally a real episode again! Listen in as the Dudes weigh in on one of the true heavy-hitters of the Disney universe, it's Beauty And The Beast (1991). 

Hey what if we made a movie about a country band? But whatever you do, don't put any country music in that shit! It's The Country Bears! 

The ultimate fanservice film for boomers. Subscribe on iTunes!

No film reviews this time, just two dudes talking bout life in our current hellscape. Stay safe everybody :) 

Hey guys, hope you're all okay out there in the middle of this global pandemic. Enjoy this podcast where the Dudes advocate eating the rich! Not gonna lie, we spend maybe 40% of this episode (which was recorded in The Before Times) talking about the actual film and spend the rest reliving memories of Health Class in our redneck-ass state, evalutating Wendy's new breakfast options, and councilling Dustin on the many ways he feels insecure as an adult man. Enjoy!

The Dudes are back with an ass-kicking, outback adventure! It's The Rescuers Down Under (1990), a sequel that VASTLY improves upon the original by adding breathtaking visuals, an exhilarating soundtrack, and John Candy. What's not to love? 

And we're back! After a long delay, the Dudes are finally ready to review the colossal mega-hit film that began the Disney Renaissance. It's The Little Mermaid (1989)! But is this princess-tale (more like princess-tail, get it) still truly a classic? Or do the many problematic elements weigh it down? Are things truly hotter under the water?

Time to get Rotten To The Core again! The Disney Dudes are coming to ya with something hot off the presses, it's Disney's Descendants 3! No, we didn't review the second one. Who cares? 

Hey! That's not a Disney movie! The Dudes are branching out in this BONUS EPISODE and taking a little vacation from the Disney releases of the 1980s to check out another film from that era. Created by former Disney animator Don Bluth, The Secret Of Nimh (1982) is considered to be a cult classic of animation, and is revered for being darker and more mature than the Disney films of the era. BUT DOES IT HOLD UP? AND CAN THE DUDES REMEMBER THE NAMES OF ALL THESE CHARACTERS FROM A FILM THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE?

Season Three is here! And we're kicking it off with an utterly forgettable movie. That's right, it's 1988's Oliver And Company--a very Disney take on a very Dickensian tale. It's got singing dogs, Billy Joel, Dom Delouise, and not much else, so listen in as Dustin and Jake bitch about car computers and contemplate bidets instead of talking about this movie.

Join Dustin and Jake as they look back on and discuss Disney films 11 through 20, as well as what all has happened to them in over the past two years. Time really flies when you're watching Disney movies and talkin' bout snacks!

Jake has some things to say about the Little Caesar's Pizza Portal.

Episode Twenty, the Season Two finale is here! It's the Great Mouse Detective (1986), Disney Animation's take on Sherlock Holmes. Is it truly a forgotten classic? Or are the Dudes just drunk on nostalgia? If nothing else, Vincent Price kills it on this one. Enjoy!

It's a new thing! A Decidedly Disney Discourse, a mini-episode wherein one of the Dudes weighs in on the current news cycle regarding the Disney/Pixar juggernaut. In this episode, Dustin gives his opinions on the overabundance of Pixar and Disney sequels in 2019.

The Disney movie they DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE! Uhh, because it nearly bankrupted the company and they don't have fond memories of it. It's The Black Cauldron! Check it out! It's the most Not-Disney Disney animated film ever made!

LET'S GET SAD, EVERYBODY. It's time for probably the most upsetting Disney film since Bambi. It's 1981's The Fox And The Hound, a film where prejudice wins. Listen in as Dustin and Jake discuss the Disney Animator Walkout, what it's like to first feel sadness as a teenager, and Jake's Pizza Christmas.

R-E-S C-U-E Time for Dudes-Watch-Diiiiisss-Ney! That's right, it's 1977's The Rescuers. A film so good(?) that it was the first Disney Animated Picture to receive a sequel. You can tell it's a great film by how little Dustin and Jake actually talk about it during this episode. Instead hear discussions about Weird Food Combos, the Pete's Dragon remake, and Good People Named John.

Well the Dudes have finally made it to the film they've been namedropping since like Bambi. It's The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, an INCREDIBLY BUDGET-CONSCIOUS film collection that just so happens to be the most magical and nostalgic Disney film to date. Also included: discussions about Reece's and Buffets. HIP HIP POOH-RAY!

Greetings Disney fans, it's another BONUS EPISODE! The Dudes have officially reached Disney Animation's New Generation Era, a.k.a. the 1970's. Things aren't going great! Budgets are low, films are flopping, and now we're trying to mix live action and animation again in this never-ending musical about a boy and his pet dragon. Wait, which one is Pete again?

Dustin-and-Jake-are walkin'-through-the-forest watchin'-this-and-this-and-that-and talkin'-bout-snacks! Ooh de lally! The Dudes have sat down to discuss Robin Hood (1973), Disney's very budget-conscious adaptation of the well-known legend. Does this super-nostalgic film hold up, or is it outclassed by other versions of the tale? Also, let's talk about Roger Miller!

Breaking news! There's new weird Snacks out there to Talk about and the Dudes are ready to weigh in on them! Emphasis on "weigh." LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME SNACKS! (hey!) 

WE'RE ROTTEN TO THE CORE! That's right, Disney fans, it's time for another BONUS EPISODE in which these two grown men attempt to understand youths. It's the 2015 made-for-TV Disney Channel Original DESCENDANTS! A film about the rebel teenage children of popular Disney Villains. It's . . . something else, man.

Everybody wants to be a cat! Except us, really. We're really more dog people. The Dudes are back to once again discuss Phil Harris, jazz, junk food, and singing animals as they visit perhaps the most laugh-out-loud funny Disney film yet--The Aristocats. Other topics discussed in this episode include the slow disappearance of dedicated Voice Actors in major animation releases, and Dustin being overserved at Taco Bell.

NEW EPISODE! SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS! Hello Disney fans, and thank you for downloading Dustin and Jake's review of, perhaps the ULTIMATE Disney classic, The Jungle Book! Apologies for the long delay on this episode. It's been a busy winter and Jake has a shitty laptop. That second problem is fixed now, though, so look forward to more frequent releases in the future. Until then, enjoy this MEGA-EPISODE where the Dudes spend over two hours discussing Phil Harris, Louis Prima, Dusty Rhodes performing a one-man reenactment of Lord Of The Rings, the awful AWFUL tracks on Disney's DISNEY MANIA CDs, custom pizza orders, and a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE! Like I said, it's a big episode, so forget about your worries and your strife and ENJOY! (...and subscribe)

Look out boys, it's a film WORSE THAN DUMBO! The Dudes are reviewing The Sword In The Stone, the world's worst possible adaptation of the King Arthur story. Did you know that before he was a king, he farted around in the forest as a squirrel? Listen as the Dudes discuss how this film SHOULD have been made, compare Disney's Merlin to other, BETTER wizards, and reminisce about the Drew Carey Show.

The Dudes kick off Season Two of the podcast with Disney Animation Studio's eleventh release, 101 Dalmatians. Join them for discussions on Jazz music, Xerox animation, Cruella De Vil, and breakfast burritos. DO IT!

The Dudes have made it through ten films! So let's celebrate that with a retrospective discussion slash clip show about it. If you're new to the podcast, here's a great place to start! 

Everything is awesommmmmeeee........especially about this SPECIAL PILOT EPISODE of the Dudes Watch Disney Podcast! Yup, a couple of months before Dustin and Jake began their trek through Disney Animated Canon, they decided to do a test episode reviewing the modern classic "The Lego Movie." And now they're presenting that episode to you in full. Please enjoy all the totally not evergreen references to whatever was going on in the world in February 2016.

The Dudes weigh in on Maleficent as a top tier Disney villain, question the idea behind making a film where the titular character is unconscious for ninety percent of the film, and celebrate their milestone tenth episode!

This is the night; it's a beautiful night, and they call it Dudes Watch Disneeeeyyyy. It's Lady And The Tramp! A movie where dogs fall in love and the Dudes talk about spaghetti.

Ahoy, mateys! In this episode, those landlubbers Dustin and Jake determine if the swashbuckling tale of Peter Pan (1953)be worth its weight in treasure, or if it deserve to walk the plank! (Its a movie about pirates. I don't know if I made that clear or not.) 

YOU'RE ALL GONNA HATE THIS EPISODE! Dustin and Jake sit down to discuss basically everything in the world except what they're supposed to be talking about, the wacky world of Alice In Wonderland. Listen as the Dudes weigh in on Mario power-ups, Halloween candy, D-List nursery rhyme characters, and other things not included in this film.

Holy crap, something good! The Dudes finally get to review Cinderella, the animated classic that saved Walt Disney Studios and gave birth to the iconic image of a Disney Princess. Also there's talking mice.

The Dudes finally make it through the last of the cheapo package films that are standing in the way of Cinderella. Highlights include the super-timely-for-Halloween "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the inspiration for Disneyland's "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride," and super Native American racism! At least after this we can finally do Cinderella.

MORE BONUS EPISODE, in which Dustin and Jake CONTINUE their trek through the six cheapo, basically-direct-to-video-but-somehow-got-a-theatrical-release films that Disney Animation Studios made while half their animators were busy making WWII propaganda films. It's Make Mine Music and Fun And Fancy Free! One of these films has Mickey And The Beanstalk on it. So . . . there's that. The other one brings nothing to the table. Enjoy!

Look everyone, it's a BONUS EPISODE, in which Dustin and Jake begin their trek through the six cheapo, basically-direct-to-video-but-somehow-got-a-theatrical-release films that Disney Animation Studios made while half their animators were busy making WWII propaganda films. It's Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros!

Break out the tissues, everyone, it's time for Bambi. A classic children's tale about what it's like to see your mom murdered in front of you. DISNEY! 

THIS MOVIE'S F***ING TERRIBLE AAHHHHHHHH SAVE US 

Dustin and Jake dive into the world of Fantasia, and in the process accidentally reveal to the world that they don't know dick about classical music. 

Dustin and Jake dive into this bizarre fable about a lonely old man and his talking sex doll. Or whatever's going on in this relationship. Also there's a scary whale.

Dustin and Jake kick off this whimsical podcast adventure with a thorough discussion on the OG Disney Animated Classic, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs---a film about apples and such.

Hello! And welcome to Dudes Watch Disney! This is a podcast where grown-ass men watch animated Disney films, from Snow White all the way through current day! This is the Introduction episode where we explain everything! This is the end of this paragraph!
