DD30 – Beauty and the Beast (1991)

It should come as no surprise that a tale as old as time should be just as good thirty years later. The Dummies invite you to be our guest as we journey from a little town (it’s a quiiiiet village!) to an enchanted castle and take on one of Disney’s all-time classics, Beauty and the Beast.

DD27 – Oliver and Company (1988)

DD25 – The Black Cauldron (1985)

If there’s one Disney movie you’ve never seen, it’s probably The Black Cauldron, and it’s worth a watch to understand why.

Tune in as the Dummies unpack this head-scratcher of a story and take a deep dive into one of Disney’s greatest unsung heroes: Gurgi.

Cry along with the Dummies as they get walloped by this emotional gut punch of a film.

This week the Dummies follow our plucky little mice heroes as they fearlessly confront one of Disney’s baddest villains and her crocodile cronies in The Rescuers!

Steal from the rich, give to the poor, and never forget that Robin Hood is a total thirst trap – that’s the motto the Disney Dummies live by!
