Reel Rankings: The Silver Age (Part 1): 1950-1955

Disney Reel to Reel

"The world is a carousel of color / Wonderful, wonderful color..."
The Holy Trinity of Disney Animation eras are finally upon us (though we also include the "Revival"). In Part 1, Ray and I discuss and rank Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Lady and the Tramp. Any film that features a female character's name in the title is our insta-fave! Nevertheless, join us on this "Bella... Giorno," won't you?
You can find the show @disreeltoreelpodcast and host Wyatt @goldenafternoon51 on Instagram!
