Vote On The August 2022 What A Cartoon Movie!
🕑 Added 2022-07-01 14:00:01 +0000 UTC
As we're looking towards August on our calendars, that means it's time to decide the final installment of our second the Summer of the Disney Renaissance! As always, we need your help to figure out the next Disney classic we'll be covering in addition to all our regular releases like Talking Simpsons, What A Cartoon, Talking Futurama, or TalKing of the Hill. Our $10 premium podcasts can't be published without your input, and so get ready to vote on the premium podcast of August 2022.
For those of you who are new to the Talking Simpsons Patreon, WELCOME. Also, you should know that once a month we release the What A Cartoon Movie! podcast, an extra-long discussion about an animated feature film, exclusively for our $10+ Patreon subscribers. And when we open up the voting for each month's subject, we want all the $5 subscribers to also have a chance to be heard too, so those subscribers can help pick episodes they might enjoy down the line!
Our next 2022 poll is the last third of our Summer of the Disney Renaissance! Just like in 2021, we're going to do a trio of What A Cartoon Movie podcasts about the late '80s to late '90s era of Disney theatrical animation, covering some of the runner-ups of previous polls!
So here are the last four Neo Disney Classics you'll be voting on:
The Rescuers Down Under (1990) - The Australian sequel that is full of famous people but is most known to animation fans for being the first one Disney colored fully digitally!
Pocahontas (1995) - Katzenberg's prestige film that is more famous for how it whiffed on a problematic story that's kinda-sorta based on history!
Mulan (1998) - The Chinese folktale is reimagined as a '90s story of gender and duty in this classic about reflections AND making a man out of you!
Tarzan (1999) - The pulp icon is reborn with the moves of Tony Hawk and the music of Phil Collins with surprisingly mature story that lives in two worlds!
So please, make your choice known before the poll closes on the night of July 7! And thanks as always for your continued support of our podcasts—we couldn't keep doing all our super-deep movie podcasts without you!

I’m shocked he hasn’t seen Rescuers and Mulan!

Changed my vote to Mulan (I love all of these!) so Bob can finally see it and Henry loves it!

Rescuers Down Under because its a personal favorite and we need Bob to experience some of the best bird animation put to screen.
John Harrison
It is a bird god, not an actual golden eagle (who are brown)
Joe Murphy
Oh, very cool to learn!

It's one of those "well, what do you mean by computer graphics, exactly?" questions. A real cheeky answer to that would be The Black Hole, because it did use some computer-derived imagery, but my actual cheeky answer is Tron, which was the first film that used solid-rendered 3D graphics. Then Great Mouse Detective used computer-generated wireframes that were then rotoscoped, so computer graphics gave it an assist, but it's not quite "computer animation" in the sense of CAPS or what was used in Tron. RDU was the first film to use CAPS, so it was the first Disney film that extensively used computers for compositing and post-production. But the first Disney film to use "Computer graphics?" Eeehhh. The history of computer graphics is too messy for a clean answer to that question.
MacJake
The best kind of correct!
Wood Duck
I only listen to Bob for the #birdfacts
Bob Mackey
RDU is the first digitally colored Disney movie, so she’s technically correct
Joe Murphy
Also, I went on a tour of the Disney burbank lot and the tour guide asked what was the first Disney movie to use computer graphics. I answered The Great Mouse Detective and she told me no, that it was Rescuers Down Under…is that right?
Joe Murphy
📣 Rescuers!

PREACH

Bob has gotta pin this😂

Of course you picked mulan, how could anyone vote against mulan!? I don't care that it's my favorite disney movie. Rescuers. All the way. They deserve it damn it!
Wood Duck
I had to look up the plot of RDU and I'm baffled. Why did they put a golden eagle in Australia instead of using something like our native wedge tail eagle?

one day you'll need to put some real stinkers alongside Pocahontas to finally give that one a chance. not to suggest it ISN'T a stinker...but it's a stinker I want to hear talked about for several hours so badly
Seth
Yes, this is the time for Rescuers Down Under!
Tyler the Destroyer
Pocahontas for the win because it’s Disney so up their own asses trying it be prestige and they totally drop the ball Almost dangerous to let under educated children to watch IMO
I feel like "Rescuers Down Under" falls into two camps for most people: never saw it or wore the VHS out. My sister and I fell firmly in the latter camp -- I think we watched it every night one summer. The world-building, action, humor, and locations are all so much better than they had any right to be. Plus, voice acting from John Candy, George C. Scott, Eva Gabor, and Bob Newhart. Let's do this!

You know, I was joking earlier, but this actually is kind of difficult without the reliable Beauty and the Beast option. Going with Rescuers Down Under because I think we need to repair Americo-Australianien relations. They’re at an all-time low.
Mr. Animation Enthusiast
Rescuers Down Under has no right to be good, the original was so boring and dowry and the sequel is the complete opposite. As much as I love Mulan, it's Rescuer's time to shine (both movies are top quality). Besides, there's plenty of time to praise Mulan and shit on the god-awful remake, hands down Disney's worst remake bar none!
