Dissecting the Mouse is a subjective review of the animated features released by Disney Animation Studios. Co-hosts Abby and Nate research the source material and production, spout off some crackpot theories, then rank each movie based on personal enjoyment and certain obscure (read as: stupid) criteria that can be identified by neither listener nor podcaster alike.

Dissecting The Mouse is proud to present a lost segment on a too long forgotten member of the old school Disney team. Learn about the pronunciation issues of French teachers, the cold hard truth about 50's wage gap, writing what you know during the depression, and connecting to the cloud, Old School Style.

Its a fresh new era, and what better way to kick it off than with the Silver Age classic Cinderella. Put on your preferably non crystalline dancing shoes and get ready to get down as Abby tells tales about an impossible tree, Nate ridicules a man for his unfortunate name, and both of our hosts get a little too heated about the rampant institutionalized misogyny of the 1940s.

In this episode, we close out the Package Feature era with Melody Time and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Gather 'round the chuck wagon as Abby pines for the life of a retired English banker, Nate outs himself as being attracted to the Bob Ross of the American Frontier, and both hosts express genuine excitement to get back to watching these one at a time.

In this episode, another perilous pair of package features are presented to our podcasters; Make Mine Music and Fun & Fancy Free. Turn on your vintage Region 2 Swedish DVD player and watch as Abby roasts the Disney animators over some vaguely bear-shaped bears and Nate fixates on an unimportant background character (wow, shocker). Join us as we hunt Tetti Tatti for sport and gush over one Dinah-mite gal.
