Question of the Episode: If you could inhabit any world that is depicted in any Disney movie, which one would you pick? (Let us know in the comments below!)

Opening

An Affair to Remember – Matt recommends it. But he cannot recommend The Truman Show since he hasn’t seen it.

And then the French-Italian Daniel Branch entered the building.

Just a reminder: All it takes to become a top Hashtag Atrium fan is to leave a review on iTunes.

The Hodgepodge

Mia is from Melbourne (or Geelong), Australia and is a world-leading expert on the intersection of Christianity and Disney (according to Hashtag Atrium, and this google search which didn’t turn up any other people).

Mia knows what she’s talking about when she mentions a Disney Revival – there’s a whole wikipedia page about it.

The major hits of the ’90s Disney revival: Little Mermaid (1989), Rescuers Down Under (1990), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), Pocahontas (1995), Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Hercules (1997), Mulan (1998), Tarzan (1999).

Mufasa = Darth Vader?

Mia suggests that Brave ought to put the feminist anti-Disney discussion to rest. For further reading on Brave and the feminist discussion, you can see here.

The Good, the True and the Beautiful

James’s pathway: Gungor’s “I Am Mountain” (currently available for download) –> Mt. Sinai and God –> Clouds –> October Fog

It’s not Vancouver fog, but these are  some amazing pictures.

Matt’s pick: The experience of seeing Gravity in theaters.

Here’s someone else arguing why you ought to see the film in theaters.

The Random Guest

Yes! Daniel came back in order to join us as the random guest.

Daniel is from a bunch of places, too many for this lazy show notes writer to link to.

Thanks to RCSA for sponsoring the new students BBQ that allowed Matt and Daniel to meet.

The Question of the Episode: If you could inhabit any world that is depicted in any Disney movie, which one would you pick?

Daniel’s answer: Pocahontas’s world in which he would be an anthropomorphic hummingbird.

James’s answer: The Hundred Acre Wood.

Matt’s answer: Beauty and the Beast’s small provincial town.
